Conduct thorough analysis of both new and existing rocket motor systems, focusing on structural and thermal assessments of motor hardware and propellant charges through FEA software.

Utilize a variety of software and programming methodologies, including Abaqus, Altair-Hyperworks, Fortran, and Matlab.

Perform rheological evaluations of material testing outcomes and provide expert guidance to the technical community for the validation and verification of FEA models.

Develop comprehensive structural test plans for motors and engage in the execution and evaluation of structural testing results.

Act as the structural performance technical authority for assigned projects, facilitating project customer meetings, investigations, design reviews, and collaboration with customer stress engineers.

Produce essential project documentation, including structural analysis reports, test plans, and design records.

Contribute expert knowledge to qualifications reports.

Stay abreast of industry advancements and innovations, enhancing personal expertise and leading new technology research initiatives, ensuring timely and cost-effective program delivery while interfacing with customers.

Plan, schedule, and prioritize tasks to guarantee timely completion of responsibilities.
