Air System Integrator

Role name: Air System Integrator

Work Location: Mirabel, Quebec (Onsite)

Start date: Immediate availability.

Background check MANDATORY

The Air Systems Integrator is responsible for the design, integration, and validation of aircraft air systems throughout the full product lifecycle. This role ensures that air systems meet performance, safety, regulatory, and certification requirements while functioning seamlessly with other aircraft systems. The position involves close collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, and certification authorities.

Key Responsibilities:

System Design & Integration

• Lead the integration of aircraft air systems, including environmental control systems, bleed air, cabin pressurization, and related subsystems.
• Ensure proper interfaces and functional compatibility between air systems and other aircraft systems (structures, avionics, propulsion, fuel, etc.).
• Develop and maintain system architecture, specifications, and interface control documents (ICDs).

Performance & Technical Analysis

• Perform system-level analyses (thermal, pressure, airflow, fault scenarios) to validate design compliance with technical and operational requirements.
• Support trade studies and design optimization activities to meet weight, cost, reliability, and performance targets.
• Review and approve technical data, drawings, and software delivered by internal teams and external suppliers.

Verification, Validation & Certification

• Define system requirements and verification plans in accordance with certification regulations (e.g., applicable civil aviation standards).
• Support ground and flight test activities, including preparation, execution support, and post-test analysis.
• Collaborate with certification and airworthiness teams to support compliance findings and regulatory documentation.

Supplier & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Serve as a technical focal point for air system suppliers, supporting development, issue resolution, and technical reviews.
• Work closely with manufacturing, procurement, program management, and in-service support teams to ensure design maturity and producibility.
• Support configuration control, change management, and concession activities.

Problem Resolution & Continuous Improvement

• Investigate and resolve design, integration, and in-service issues related to air systems.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, lessons learned, and best practices within systems engineering.

Basic Requirements:

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

Experience

• 5+ years of experience in aircraft systems engineering, integration, or design, preferably within a regulated aerospace environment.
• Hands-on experience with air systems, environmental control systems, or pneumatic systems is highly desirable.
• Exposure to aircraft development programs, certification activities, or in-service support is an advantage.

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of aircraft systems integration principles and system engineering processes.
• Experience with requirements management, interface definition, and verification/validation activities.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and technical specifications.
• Familiarity with aerospace standards, certification practices, and safety assessment processes.

Tools & Methods

• Experience with engineering tools for requirements management, system modeling, and configuration management.
• Knowledge of CAD environments and basic simulation or analysis tools is an asset.
• Proficiency with standard office and documentation tools.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, in a technical environment.
• Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary and multicultural teams.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities.

Extra Skills:

• Master’s degree is considered an asset.
• French considered an asset
