- Strong understanding of structural design and analysis, including load paths, strength and stiffness, fasteners and joints, tolerance stack-ups, hand calculations, and FEA
- Experience designing aerospace or other complex hardware to structural and environmental requirements, including vibration, shock, and thermal environments
- Experience integrating discrete components, such as propulsion, avionics, fluidic, or other hardware, into structural assemblies
- Proficiency with CAD, engineering drawings, and GD&T, with experience taking designs through release, build, and test
