Join us to shape the future of aeronautics and help protect lives during missions accomplished thanks to our helicopters.

The Marignane site, the 3rd largest industrial site in France, near Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, is undergoing a deep transformation to offer a high-tech, inclusive, and environmentally friendly working environment.

Your future missions:

The mission of the Certification Engineer is mainly to contribute to the compliance demonstration to the applicable airworthiness requirements FAR27/CS27 and FAR29/CS29 for each new design, and retrofit activities.

You will participate to the certification & qualification activities for Structure, Engine/performance, H/C System (Fuel, Hydraulics, Mechanical Flight Control, Landing Gear...), Cabin & Cargo arrangements, Inboard and Outboard mission equipment (Cargo Hook, Rescue Hoist, ...), Weapon Systems and also software upgrade... So many new needs our customers are requiring for a more modern aircraft.

In the frame of this activity, as confirmed CQE, you will have to validate the subcontracted activity related to multiprogram and Hazmat ECPFs (ECPF is a change to an equipment, Hazmat = is a program aiming to replace Hazardous Materials).

This results in a challenging transverse position, with many interfaces internally to Airbus Helicopters, but also with Aviation Authorities (civil EASA, military DGA, UK MOD/MAA, NLD/...). This is leading to have a good overview on Airbus Helicopters French Legacy products (Alouette, Gazelle, Colibri, Ecureuil, Dauphin, Puma, Super Puma) and organization. The activity will be shared between two main topics: certification activities related to customers' helicopters undergoing a retrofit within AH MRO facilities and multiprogram / Hazmat ECPFs.

Each project involves various contributors (Chief Engineering, System Design Responsible, experts, customer support, flight tests pilots & engineers,...).

You will have to understand all the aspects of each project (technical content, configuration) in order to be able to contribute to establish the related certification program. This consists in the identification of all FAR27/CS27/FAR29/CS29 affected requirements, and proposed Means of Compliance. As CQE you will contribute to establish the certification strategy, and to harmonize it with all relevant Certification Verification Engineers within AH Design Office. As CQE you will have the responsibility to contribute to conduct and endorse certification activities related to minor and major changes.

Your main responsibilities will include:

Project Management:

• Contribute to establish the planning and contribute to pilot Certification / Qualification activities,
• Risk identification and mitigations proposal,
• Follow-up and reporting on compliance demonstration activities progress, fixing hard points, and ensuring on-time completion of the activities,
