About the Role

As a Technical Expert, you will act as a key integrator and technical authority, ensuring seamless integration of aircraft structures and systems across the full product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design Integration & Architecture

  • Lead the development of conceptual layouts and integration solutions for structures and systems across the complete airframe.

  • Define and manage interfaces, installation requirements, and system architecture to ensure compatibility and performance.

  • Perform and lead trade studies and optimization activities (weight, cost, performance, manufacturability).

2. Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Act as a focal point across multidisciplinary teams: stress, systems, interiors, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, mass properties, manufacturing, and quality.

  • Coordinate technical alignment with partners, suppliers, and other engineering teams.

  • Provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentorship to junior team members.

3. Design Development & Industrialization

  • Generate preliminary and detailed design concepts using 3D modeling tools.

  • Support production, manufacturing, and shop floor issue resolution.

  • Ensure robust Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).

4. Certification, Validation & Compliance

  • Support verification & validation (V&V), test definition, and execution.

  • Ensure designs meet airworthiness, safety, and regulatory requirements.

  • Contribute to certification strategy, compliance demonstration, and qualification requirements.

5. Program & Change Management

  • Manage engineering modifications through full lifecycle and configuration control processes.

  • Provide input to impact assessments (technical, cost, schedule, risks).

  • Track and manage technical risks, dependencies, and design maturity.

  • Provide clear status reporting to project and functional leadership.

6. Continuous Improvement & Digital Engineering

  • Ensure PLM data integrity and configuration management (ENOVIA / Teamcenter).

  • Contribute to process improvements, design standards, and lessons learned.
