Develop 3D and 2D FE models using specified software adhering to industry and customer-specific modelling and analysis standards and guidelines.

Provide analysis results for the decision process of selection of reliable concepts out of multiple concepts based on the static dynamic and impact stress analysis validation with future operational and maintenance and repair considerations.

Provide details from FE models for the weight estimation its tracking and control across all design phases ensuring alignment with weight budgets and performance criteria.

Perform the task of mitigating the low RF / Low life and performance non-compliance issues based on discussion with SME / Leads or your expertise and experience. Align relevant details of these methods to SME / Leads to align with the client.

Documentation of iterations and outcomes for future reference.

Create the test FE models incorporating the failure features and boundary conditions as per standard procedure and test fixture.

Design validate through analysis or classical calculations the Incorporated features and design aspects covering the downstream manufacturing and inspection processes accessibility and in-service replacement / repair.

Prepare detailed presentation for reference and review.

Assist in during customer technical audits program quality gate reviews and change control reviews by providing the required analysis results and justifications.
