Owns product life and materials support across the engine: component life (LCF / HCF / creep / oxidation), materials & processes (M&P) and materials science, and general FEA / ANSYS 'surge' capacity for the subsystem teams. Crossover: lifingstructuresthermal across all subsystems.

• Bachelor's in Mechanical, Aerospace or Materials Engineering
• Master's or PhD preferred

• 4–8 years in component life/durability or materials & processes, or a relevant PhD plus ~2 years
• Component life calculations for static and rotating parts (fatigue, creep, oxidation)

• LCF / HCF / creep / oxidation life methods; fracture mechanics
• Materials selection, processes and qualification
• NASGRO, fracture mechanics fatigue analysis
• FEA (ANSYS); probabilistic life methods;
  Python/Matlab

• Interface with Responsible Engineers to provide inputs for design, generate predictions for candidate designs, and ensure that REs have a clear understanding of the physical phenomena they are dealing with
• Prepare, run, and post‑process relevant simulation models including FEA, CFD, and Heat Transfer as applicable
• Analyze test, qualification, and field data in collaboration with REs to qualify hardware and maintain fleet reliability
• Drive simplicity into the Parallax analysis stack by developing simplified and reduced‑order models that conservatively capture physical phenomena at the minimum level of complexity that enables functional hardware
