Task and Responsibility

1. A broad appreciation of military aircraft design with specific experience in the design and development of Aircraft Structural Engineering projects. The Aircraft Structural applications will be the focus of knowledge for fatigue index analysis, structural integrity inspections, structural modifications and updates, and engineering analysis of aircraft platforms.

2. Able to develop and integrate concepts that involve requirements, design, prototyping, production, testing, training and logistics support in all phases of the weapon system life cycle, including all aspects of technical program that involve trade off of performance, life­cycle cost, risk, producibility, supportability, testability and other engineering requirements. Possess knowledge of engineering principles used in stress analysis computer modelling and other analytical substantiation technique.

3. Responsible to the AES Commander to provide day to day advice on matters pertaining to Structural Engineering for all RSAF aircraft, including but not limited to: F-15, Typhoon, Tornado, Boeing 707, C-130, Bell 212/412, Cougar and UAV's.

4. Provides a primary point of contact for all RSAF Structural Engineering issues.

5. Enhance RSAF engineering authority capability with regards to Structural Engineering.

6. Provide advice and prepare guidelines on engineering matters.

7. Create engineering drawings using 3-D and 2-D design software. Produce design data as required for the manufacture and assembly of aircraft structures and systems. Research and review engineering data {drawings, reports, manuals, etc.) defining aircraft structure or systems in support of design work.

8. Support other Engineering groups as workload requirements dictate. Develop expertise on aircraft design concepts, industry design standards, regulations and drafting techniques consistent with workload environment.

9. Review and recommend RSAF authorizations of engineering modifications. Progress approval of improvement initiatives through external design organizations and technical authorities.

10. Evaluate and perform cost benefit analysis of improvement initiatives.

11. Create original designs and supervise embodiment of modifications to existing systems (aircraft and ground equipment).
