•Delivered stress analysis of metallic and composite structures using Hypermesh, LFEM, and classical hand methods. •Verified compliance with strength, fatigue, deflection, and aerosmoothness criteria to ensure structural integrity. •Produced audit-ready analysis and substantiation documentation for design reviews and regulatory submissions. •Led development and verification of structural requirements for primary and secondary helicopter structures. •Coordinated with design, manufacturing, and test engineering to guide product development and resolve structural issues.

•Provided engineering consulting services. •Delivered technical solutions and project support across multiple design and development efforts.

•Performed detailed stress analysis of metallic and composite spaceframe structures using FEMAP/NASTRAN. •Applied laminate analysis, bonded/bolted joint evaluation, and detailed sizing methods. •Produced substantiation reports for customer and regulatory certification requirements. •Supervised junior engineers, reviewed/approved design drawings, and ensured effective coordination across teams.

•Performed structural analysis and documentation to substantiate upper stage structures in compliance with program requirements.

Conducted stress analysis of airframe structures using FEMAP/NASTRAN and classical methods.

•Conducted stress analysis of primary and secondary (Interior) airframe structures using FEMAP/NASTRAN and classical methods. •Performed laminate analysis, failure modes evaluation, decompression analysis, and stability/crippling studies. •Documented stress results and authored substantiation reports for FAA compliance. •Supervised junior engineers and coordinated closely with design and manufacturing.

•Performed analysis of Boeing aircraft interior structures (galleys, cabinets). •Developed and executed test plans, supported physical testing, and authored test result documentation. •Provided technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers.

•Performed classical structural analysis on airframe structures. •Built finite element models (FEMAP/NASTRAN) from scratch, used hand-calculations where appropriate, to determine critical areas in structure and efficient and adequate approaches for analysis. •Utilized stress analysis related aerospace specifications/standards, such as Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) and MIL-HDBK-5. •Analyses performed making use of industry-standard stress analysis references such as Bruhn, Michael Niu and Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain. •Performed detailed analysis procedures including analysis of fittings, fasteners and joints, stability and crippling analyses with emphasis on the structural integrity of the product. •Documented the analysis results. •Authored substantiation documents in compliance with FAA regulations and customer requirements to achieve type certifications and supplemental type certifications. •Gained wide array of experience on certification of primary and secondary structures for aircrafts such as Boeing-757-200, Boeing-737-900ER, and Airbus A320.

•Conducted FEA and design of Boeing interiors (galleys, monuments). •Developed engineering drawings and collaborated with manufacturing for optimized designs.

•Performed structural analysis and design of aeroelastic wings and conceptual spaceplane structures. •Documented results and supervised undergraduate students.
