  • Coordinate with OEMs, government agencies, and depot personnel to assess and resolve structural issues.
  • Evaluate material degradation, crack propagation, corrosion, and repair techniques.
  • Participate in design reviews, sustainment working groups, and airframe certification activities.
  • Support the integration of digital engineering and structural health monitoring systems where applicable.

Qualifications

Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in aircraft structural engineering, NDI support, or depot-level sustainment.
  • Familiarity with common NDI techniques (e.g., ultrasonic, radiographic, dye penetrant, eddy current, magnetic particle).
  • Understanding of fatigue, fracture mechanics, and structural life prediction methods.
  • Experience with MIL-STD, ASTM, or other DoD technical specifications and inspection protocols.
  • Must possess an active Top Secret clearance with eligibility for SCI.


Desired
  • NDI Level II or III certification in one or more methods.
  • Experience with digital structural analysis tools (e.g., FEMAP, NASTRAN, ANSYS).
