1. To ensure that all structure specification and statement of
work requirements are met for a complex spacecraft
structure.
2. To plan all design activities to ensure that schedule and
cost are met and that long lead items are ordered as required.
3. To have a working knowledge of all of the design methods
and procedures required for a complete spacecraft design.
4. To supervise and provide on the job training to other
Structures Engineers working on the same concurrent
engineering team.
5. To sign all engineering drawings and engineering change
documentation ensuring that structure design requirements
are met.
6. To provide an engineering definition of spacecraft structure
component design that is cost efficient and complies with all
requirements. This definition will be given to Designers to
produce engineering drawings.
7. To write structures design documentation for customer
reviews and provide all subsidiary information, which
demonstrates, that all requirements are met.
8. To present and justify the design and it s development at
customer reviews.
9. Designs will be taken from concept into production,
therefore, design for manufacture, cost and minimum
schedule are essential elements.
10. To work in a concurrent engineering team, reporting to
the team Responsible Engineer, working with Stress, Thermal,
Propulsion and Manufacturing Engineers and having a good
appreciation of their work.
11. Must carry out basic structure sizing calculations, produce
mass calculations and exercise mass control. Carry out
manufacturing dimensional tolerance studies and use a PC as
a working tool.
12. Must have a working knowledge of aerospace structures
design techniques and methods and an understanding of the
static and dynamic behaviour of structures, an appreciation of
launch vehicles and the launch environment.
