Jobbeschreibung

ANAVIA is a Swiss aerospace company and global market leader in the development and manufacture of advanced unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft systems with a maximum take-off weight of up to 1,150 kg. Our dual-use helicopter platforms and sensors support a wide range of missions, including intelligence and surveillance (ISR), infrastructure inspection, cargo, and other critical operations.

As ANAVIA continues its rapid growth, we are seeking a Configuration Management Engineer who is eager to contribute to the future of unmanned aviation.

Join us as a Configuration Management Engineer and play a key role in ensuring the integrity, traceability, and control of product configurations throughout the lifecycle of our UAV systems. In this role, you will manage engineering changes, maintain accurate product data and documentation, support certification and regulatory compliance activities, and collaborate closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Program Management to ensure configuration consistency across development and production.

Your mission

• Establish and maintain product configuration baselines for aircraft systems, subsystems, and components.
• Manage Engineering Change Proposals, Orders, and Requests from approval to implementation.
• Control engineering drawings, specifications, technical data packages, and product documentation releases.
• Maintain accurate Bills of Materials, parts lists, and product structure hierarchies.
• Ensure traceability between requirements, design data, test records, and as-built configurations.

Change Management & Control

• Lead Configuration Control Boards (CCBs). Evaluate proposed changes for technical impact, cost, schedule, certification, and regulatory implications.
• Coordinate change implementation across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and maintenance organizations.
• Manage engineering deviations and approvals.
• Track effectivity of changes across units.

Aviation Regulatory Compliance & Certification

• Ensure configuration management processes comply with aviation regulations and airworthiness requirements.
• Support FAA, EASA, and other regulatory authority certification activities, including compliance reports.
• Maintain conformity records to support continued airworthiness.
• Provide support for audits, internal and external configuration management assessments, and all required documentation for these activities.

Systems & Tools Management

• Support Product Lifecycle Management system (e.g. Teamcenter).
• Integrate configuration data with ERP systems (e.g. SAP) for manufacturing and supply chain.
• Utilize requirements management tools (e.g. Polarion) to maintain traceability.
• Generate configuration reports, metrics, and dashboards for program management.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Interface with engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, flight test, certification, and program management teams.
• Coordinate with suppliers on configuration requirements and changes.
• Support manufacturing with As-Designed and As-Built configuration management.

Your profile

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
• Proven experience managing product configurations for aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, or other aerospace systems, with hands‑on experience in engineering change management processes and Configuration Control Boards (CCBs). Experience in both areas is essential. Solid understanding of configuration management principles, processes, and best practices, as well as engineering drawing standards (ASME Y14.5 and ISO).
• Proficiency in PLM and ERP systems, including BOM management, and working knowledge of aircraft systems, structures, avionics, and propulsion systems are required.
• Familiarity with aviation regulations and experience with requirements management and traceability tools are considered an advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills. Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross‑functional teams. Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Proficiency in English. German desirable.
