Structural Design & Definition

• Develop and review structural concepts, 3D models, assemblies, installation drawings, and detail drawings for assigned airframe areas.
• Define metallic and composite parts, joints, interfaces, fastener concepts, tolerances, and provisions in accordance with applicable design requirements.
• Apply sound design practices for load paths, producibility, assembly, inspection, maintainability, weight, and cost.

Technical Integration & Collaboration

• Coordinate structural definition with stress, materials and processes, systems installation, aerodynamics, interiors, manufacturing, quality, and other affected disciplines.
• Resolve geometric and physical-interface conflicts and support technical trade studies.
• Participate in design reviews and communicate design intent, assumptions, constraints, and open items.

Design Maturity, Compliance & Support

• Support substantiation and certification activities by providing complete and traceable design definition and technical rationale.
• Support production, supplier, and in-service investigations, including root-cause analysis and corrective design action.
• Manage design changes and maintain configuration and product-definition data in the applicable PLM environment.

Level-specific contribution

• Lead complex, multi-zone or multi-system design activities and define coherent technical approaches.
• Review and approve significant technical solutions within delegated authority and lead difficult investigations.
• Mentor engineers, influence decisions without direct authority, and improve standards, methods, and digital practices.
