li>Conducts static and dynamic test programs, both in-house and at outside test facilities;
Performs structural analysis, crash investigation, failure investigations, occupant motion assessment, and computer simulations;
Lead the design and completion of test programs to evaluate various restraint system responses during different scenarios, these test program may include component level quasi-static, sled, and full vehicle crash tests;
Research, designs, and evaluates testing conducted by others of various occupant protection systems such as seats, seat belts, airbags, vehicle structures;
Child Restraint Specialist, Human Subject Crash Testing, Air and Vehicle Safety Analysis,
Restraint Performance (Adult and Child), Vehicle Structures and Testing, Occupant Restraint Systems Research, Failure Analysis and Testing, Injury Mechanism and Kinematic Analysis, and Crash Data Analysis. Working closely with accident reconstructionists, mechanical engineers, and biomechanical engineers, the crashworthiness engineer is responsible for determining the design effectiveness of occupant protection systems in real-world accident scenarios, and the role these systems play in dictating the occupant kinematics.
