Responsibilities

1-Integrated Structure and Installation Design

• Develop and review structural concepts, 3D models, assemblies, installation layouts, equipment placements, routing, supports, installation drawings, and detail drawings for assigned aircraft zones.
• Define metallic and composite parts, joints, interfaces, fastening concepts, tolerances, attachment concepts, clearances, accesses, and installation provisions for equipment, ducts, pipes, tubes, hoses, supports, and related hardware.
• Establish integrated structures and installation solutions that reconcile load paths, functional requirements, safety, manufacturability, assembly, inspection, maintainability, installation sequence, mass, cost, and zone constraints.

2-Technical Integration and Multidisciplinary Coordination

• Coordinate integrated product definition with loads and stress, materials and processes, functional systems engineering, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, interiors, safety, manufacturing, quality, maintainability, mass properties, partners, suppliers, and operations.
• Manage spatial integration and resolve interferences, geometric conflicts, access constraints, interface discrepancies, installation sequence issues, and competing requirements of structures and systems.
• Lead technical trade studies and design reviews, clearly communicating design intent, assumptions, constraints, decisions, risks, and open points.

3-Maturity, Compliance, and Support

• Support justification, installation compliance, verification and validation, qualification, and certification activities by providing complete and traceable design definition and technical justification.
• Provide integrated technical solutions to issues in production, at suppliers, during ground and flight tests, and in service, including root cause analysis and design corrective actions.
• Manage engineering changes, assess multidisciplinary impacts, and maintain product configuration and definition data in the applicable PLM environment.

4-Level-Specific Contribution

• Lead complex design activities affecting multiple zones or systems and establish consistent approaches for structures and installation integration.
• Review and approve significant technical solutions according to delegated authority and lead difficult multidisciplinary investigations.
• Mentor engineers, influence decisions without direct authority, and improve standards, methods, lessons learned, and digital practices.

Profile

• Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical engineering, or another relevant discipline.
• Generally 10 to 15 years of relevant experience in aeronautical engineering, including significant experience in structural design, systems installation, or aircraft zone integration.
