OBJECTIVE
To obtain an experienced structural analysis/stress engineer position in aerospace industry where I can use my strong
analytical, detail-oriented and interpersonal skills to improve products, reduce costs and lead times, delight customers,
help and mentor others. All the while engaging in new challenges and learning experiences.
SUMMARY of QUALIFICATIONS
Master degree in aerospace engineering and bachelor in Airframe & PowerPlant. 10+ years of recent experience
stress analysis in primary and secondary structure, including fatigue damage and tolerance analysis. Extensive
experience in structural analysis, research, leadership and coaching, problem-solving. Excellent in performing hand
calculations per company or industry standards e.g. Book1, Book2, Bruhn, Niu, Roark, Timoshenko etc. Proficient with
Excel, Mathcad, Femap, Patran, Nastran, Abqus, Hyper mesh. Thorough knowledge of load paths for composite and
metallic structures. Expert at analyzing and solving complex problems, such as durability/damage tolerance analyses,
structure stability analysis (lateral torsion stability), dynamic/static load analysis. My structural analysis works were
repeatedly honored by the Boeing Company via Pride@Boeing achievement awards. Self motivated learner and
professional, capable of working independently or as part of a team.

EXPERIENCE
Structure /Stress Analysis Engineer 02/2007- Present
The Boeing Company - Everett, WA
• Perform structural stress analyses on primary and secondary structure using classical hand and computer
technique to develop high strength/weight ratio structures and verify that structural integrity CFR 14 Part 25
requirements are met.
• Develop load path, initial sizing, strength check note documentation, production support and structural test
support.
• Prepare, document and review strength check note for type certification purpose. Create analytical and FEM
method sheets for the analysis to shorten analysis time and overall efficiency.
• Create formal analysis reports for FAA review (such as “747-8 STA396 door intrusion analysis”); generate
interface load coordinate sheets for internal/external customers; review company and vendor drawings, test plan,
and test result report. Perform root cause investigations through analysis.
• Coordinate with design engineering and related groups to optimize design solutions. Ensure new designed parts
or modified/repair components/assemblies compliance with Boeing standard and FAA requirements .
• Analyze structural parts as well as assembly associated with installation of these parts, analysis load cases
included static, stability, fatigue, vibration, and dynamic load cases;
• Coach less experienced or new engineer. Propose and carry out engineering lean activities (server lean…).
• Quick learner, self-motivated, and multi-tasker. Willing to work any shift.
