- Evaluate components under complex thermal and mechanical boundary conditions
- Interpret analytical results and provide engineering recommendations
- Perform component lifing and durability assessments
- Conduct analyses involving Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF), High Cycle Fatigue (HCF), creep, oxidation, and fracture mechanics
- Assess component reliability and support engineering decisions related to hardware life
- Perform structural, modal, and forced-response analyses
- Interpret dynamic analysis results and develop Campbell diagrams
- Characterize component dynamic behavior and identify potential design risks
- Provide technical support for urgent engineering and field requests
- Participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations
- Identify potential failure mechanisms and contribute to robust, long-term engineering solutions
- Work with cross-functional and global engineering teams to resolve complex technical issues
- Translate complex analytical results into clear engineering conclusions
- Prepare and present technical findings during Design Reviews and engineering discussions
- Communicate effectively with design, analysis, manufacturing, services, and field engineering teams
