• Relevant experience in airline maintenance, aircraft engineering, technical services, maintenance programs, reliability, or a similar technical aviation role.
• Practical knowledge of commercial aircraft maintenance and airline Technical Operations.
• Ability to read, understand, and interpret aircraft maintenance manuals, illustrated parts catalogs, wiring diagrams, service bulletins, airworthiness directives, and other technical publications.
• Experience troubleshooting aircraft systems and/or supporting maintenance activities.
• Ability to research technical issues and develop practical solutions using approved technical data.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work directly with Maintenance Control, Quality, Planning, Aircraft Records, maintenance providers, OEMs, and other Technical Operations departments.
• Ability to manage multiple technical issues and priorities in a fast-paced airline environment.
• Ability to travel when operationally required.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

A bachelor’s degree in engineering is not required. Relevant aviation maintenance, airline technical services, engineering, or military aviation experience will be considered.

Qualifications We Prefer

The following experience is preferred but is not required for consideration:

• Airbus A320 family aircraft.
• Commercial airline or Part 121 operating environment.
• CFM56-5B and/or V2500 engines.
• Airline Technical Services or Fleet Engineering.

• Aircraft modifications, repairs, Service Bulletins, Airworthiness Directives, and OEM technical documentation.
• Reliability programs and repetitive aircraft or component reliability issues.
• AirbusWorld/AirNavX or similar OEM technical-documentation systems.
• FAA regulations applicable to airline maintenance and continued airworthiness.
• Previous interaction with aircraft manufacturers, component manufacturers, MROs, DERs, or engineering organizations.
• Avionics, electrical, structures, systems, or powerplant experience.

Experience on Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, or other commercial transport-category aircraft will also be considered.

Responsibilities

• Provide day-to-day engineering and technical support for the airline’s aircraft fleet.
• Support Maintenance Control and field maintenance personnel with aircraft troubleshooting, AOG events, and complex maintenance issues.
• Research aircraft discrepancies using applicable AMM, TSM, FIM, IPC, WDM, SRM, CMM, Service Bulletins, and other approved technical data.
• Interface with Airbus and other OEMs, component manufacturers, MROs, repair stations, and engineering organizations to resolve technical issues.
• Develop and issue Engineering Orders, Engineering Authorizations, technical instructions, or other engineering documents as required.
• Evaluate Service Bulletins, modifications, repairs, and other technical recommendations for applicability to the fleet.
• Assist with implementation of aircraft modifications, repairs, and configuration changes.

You may have developed your technical expertise as an engineer, A&P mechanic, maintenance controller, technical-services specialist, reliability analyst, or through another aviation maintenance career path.

If you have strong commercial aircraft technical experience but do not meet every preferred qualification listed above, we encourage you to apply.
