• Direct experience on Boeing programs highly desirable
• Proven understanding of aircraft load paths, structural behavior, and repair engineering principles
• Proficiency in evaluating repairs for static strength, fatigue life, and crack growth behavior
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and apply analytical reasoning to real-world manufacturing scenarios
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a collaborative and proactive approach
• Prior experience with fuselage structures or major OEM aircraft platforms strongly preferred
