Review loads, load paths, and overall system behavior

Collaborate with sr engineers and multidisciplinary teams

Participate in customer-facing engineering discussions and technical reviews

Support engineering documentation, reports, and design packages

Engage in structured interviews and ongoing feedback processes with structural leadership
