High Pressure Vessel Test Engineer

Skyrora
10.2018 - 10.2019


  • Design, develop test plans for pressure vessels and conduct tests, including hydraulic, pneumatic, burst, and fatigue tests.
  • Define test parameters such as pressure ranges, temperature conditions, and safety factors.
  • Select appropriate test equipment and instrumentation (e.g., pressure transducers, strain gauges, temperature sensors).
  • Perform non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, such as X-rays, ultrasonic testing, or dye penetrant inspections, to detect flaws without compromising the vessel.
  • Implement safety protocols for high-pressure testing environments to protect personnel and equipment.
  • Monitor and record test results using sensors and data acquisition systems.
  • Analyze test data to evaluate performance metrics, such as pressure thresholds, structural deformations, and failure points.
  • Generate detailed test reports summarizing findings and recommendations.
  • Ensure pressure vessels meet regulatory and industry standards.
  • Explore ways to extend the life cycle of pressure vessels through innovative testing and maintenance techniques.
  • Maintain and calibrate test equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Structural Analysis Engineer

Skyrora
08.2016 - 10.2018


  • Analyze and evaluate the strength, stability, and durability of structures under various load conditions, including static, dynamic, and environmental loads.
  • Assess components like dry compartment, fuel tanks, engine frames, and fairing to ensure they can withstand operational stresses.
  • Use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools (ANSYS, Abaqus) to model and simulate stress, strain, deformation, and failure in aerospace components.
  • Develop and validate FEA models that accurately represent real-world conditions and material behaviors.
  • Perform hand calculations and software-based analysis to determine stress distributions, fatigue life, and failure modes.
  • Analyze different loading scenarios, such as flight loads, ground loads, aerodynamic forces, thermal stresses, and crash/impact conditions.
  • Identify critical areas and recommend reinforcements or design modifications.
  • Assess the fatigue life of components to predict how they will perform over time under repeated loading cycles.
  • Evaluate material properties (e.g., composites, metals, alloys) to ensure compatibility with design requirements.
  • Ensure that designs meet regulatory requirements and industry standards (FAA, ISO, ECSS).
