Your technical missions at the heart of Rotor Systems will include:

• Leading the design and redesign of complex Rotor Systems, driving detailed design phases while guaranteeing absolute compliance with safety, performance, manufacturability, assembly, and reliability requirements.
• Steering the substantiation process through rigorous analysis and active involvement in flight, ground, and bench tests (from request and preparation to real‑time attendance and final conclusions).
• Producing critical technical documentation, including Permit to Fly documents, requiring direct and high‑level technical discussions with EASA and other airworthiness authorities.
• Driving maintenance engineering through the creation, update, or extension of maintenance manuals for rotor components.
• Capitalizing on critical knowledge to secure the future of our rotor technologies.

As a central hub for rotor technology, your squad will constantly interface with:

• Key AH departments: Ground and Flight Tests, Material and Expertise Laboratories, Production Preparation, Loads, Thermal, and other critical systems (Blades, Flight Controls, Transmissions, Airframe, etc.).
• Purchasing, Support, Projects, and Program management.
• Various AH sites (Paris Le Bourget, Donauwörth).
• Subcontracting partners and global suppliers.

Depending on your expertise, you may be entrusted with the highly strategic role of TVE (Technical Verification Engineer).
