- Strong command of structural design and analysis, including load paths, strength and stiffness, fasteners and joints, tolerance stack-ups, hand calculations, and FEA
- Experience designing hardware to survive launch and space environments, including vibration, shock, and thermal environments, and verifying designs against requirements
- Experience installing and integrating discrete components, such as propulsion, avionics, fluidic, or other spacecraft hardware, into structural assemblies, including interface definition and ICD conformance
- Proficiency with CAD, engineering drawings, and GD&T, with experience owning hardware from concept through release, build, and test
- Experience working directly with manufacturing and production teams to transition designs into hardware and resolve build and integration issues
