You will:
- 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.
- 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.
