A professional who conducts stress analyses on engineering designs for electronic components, systems, and products, using mathematical formulas and computer-aided engineering (CAE) systems. Responsibilities include:

• Analyzes engineering designs, schematics, and customer specifications to determine stress requirements on product.
• Formulates $T3mathematical model$T1 or three-dimensional computer graphic model of product, using calculator or CAE system.
• Analyzes ability of product to withstand stress imposed by conditions such as temperature, loads, motion, and vibration, using mathematical formulas and computer simulation.
• Builds product model of wood or other material, performs physical stress tests on model, and evaluates test results.
• Consults with electronics-design engineer to recommend design modifications of product based on results of stress analysis.
• Prepares stress analysis reports.
