Position Description

Join Company as a contracted Production Asset Stress & Structural Engineer supporting the 767/Tanker program in Everett. This contractor role focuses on performing stress and structural validation for production tooling — from small, high precision fixtures to complex multi cell automation — ensuring tooling is safe, repeatable, and producible on the flight line. You will deliver clear, version controlled analysis packages (FEA models, hand calculations, stress reports) and work closely with tooling designers, manufacturing engineering, planners, and production teams. The engagement emphasizes milestone based deliverables, timely response to Company reviews, and knowledge transfer at contract milestones and closeout.

Primary Responsibilities:
• Perform structural analyses for assigned tooling and production equipment, including static, fatigue, vibration, dynamic, and thermal evaluations, per SOW deliverables.
• Build, validate, and deliver FEA models and hand calculation backups that demonstrate structural integrity and support design decisions.
• Produce formal stress analysis packages and final reports that document assumptions, loads, boundary conditions, material data, margins, and acceptance criteria.
• Create and maintain versioned deliverables: model files, input decks, mesh controls, post processing outputs, and annotated CAD interfaces.
• Participate in design reviews, milestone reviews, and production readiness reviews; present analysis results and address Company review comments within agreed response timelines.
• Investigate tooling discrepancies, failures, or unexpected behavior; perform root cause analysis and provide documented corrective actions and dispositions.
• Develop and maintain reusable stress templates, calculation guides, checklists, and procedures to standardize tooling analysis practices for the tooling community.
• Coordinate with cross functional teams (tooling designers, welding, composites, mechanical, lifting/design for safety, controls) to ensure analysis inputs and outputs support integrated tooling solutions.
• Ensure deliverables meet contractual acceptance criteria and hand off editable models/reports per Company configuration and repository requirements.
• Perform knowledge transfer activities at defined milestones and contract closeout: walkthroughs of models, assumptions, and procedures; transfer of editable files and verification artifacts.
• Follow Company contractor onboarding, site safety, export control, and data handling procedures; complete any required trainings prior to work on site or Company systems.
