Job description

Role Overview

Design solutions with the use of CAD for modifications to aircraft cabin systems such as LOPA changes, Passenger Service Units (PSU), emergency equipment, galleys, monuments, lavatories, and interior environmental systems (air conditioning, water and waste). Introduce new aircraft paint schemes (liveries) and emergency marking systems, and install or modify OFCR (Overhead Flight Crew Rest) and OCRS (Overhead Crew Rest Station) according to customer requirements.

Produce substantiation documents to demonstrate compliance with relevant regulatory and operational requirements, including flammability documentation, design reports (egress, direct view, etc.), ground test plans and reports, cabin walk‑through plans, and system safety analysis for interior components and systems. Compile engineering accomplishment documentation and instructions for continued airworthiness, including service bulletins, accomplishment instructions, and aircraft/component manual supplements.

Attend various meetings and represent Boeing on aircraft surveys and on‑site installation support at UK and overseas locations. Support statement of work and bids for new customer requests, and work closely with customers, vendors, MROs, regulatory agencies and other teams within the company to create engineering solutions that exceed expectations on time and within budget. Undertake all manner of design projects from simple changes to complex Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs). Participate in multiple instructor‑led training courses for hard and soft skills improvement.
