What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities):

• Architecture definition: Define the functional architecture for new ADS developments based on precise aircraft / operational needs.
• System Development: Manage the end-to-end component/equipment development process for assigned aircraft, ensuring alignment with all internal and external (regulatory) requirements.
• Technical Management: Lead the definition of system functions and internal interfaces, ensuring seamless connection between the ADS and other helicopter systems.
• Supplier & Trade-Off Management: Select, manage, and oversee technical activities of external suppliers. Conduct detailed trade-off studies to recommend the most optimal technical solution for the aircraft.
• Testing & Certification: Plan and execute necessary ground and flight tests. Prepare required documentation and actively support the certification process to obtain final equipment approval from aviation authorities.
• Future Technology Assessment: Assess and prototype new technologies -including systems based on video, acoustic, or radiofrequency-to define the roadmap for the next generation of ADS.
• In-Service Support: Provide essential technical support during the production phase and for any in-service issues related to the ADS equipment.
• Maintenance strategy: Contribute to the definition and planning of the equipment maintenance concept.

What You Will Bring (Required Qualifications):
Education & Experience:

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering or a closely related technical field (e.g., Aerospace, Electrical Engineering).
• Experience: Proven experience in the development of electronic equipment for aeronautical/avionics applications.
• Specific Technical Knowledge: Solid working knowledge of Air Data sensing and processing (e.g., Pitot probes, static ports) and positioning systems (e.g., inertial reference systems, GPS).

Skills & Attributes:

• Communication: Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills with a demonstrated ability to influence and convince stakeholders at all organizational levels.
