As a Sr. Professional, Engineering - Structures and Systems Installation Integrator, you will provide senior technical leadership for complex aircraft designs and major development or sustaining initiatives. Your work will integrate airframe structural definition with the physical installation of aircraft systems, ensuring coherent, producible, maintainable, certifiable, and configuration-controlled solutions across assigned aircraft zones.
What are your contributions to the team?
Integrated Structural & Installation Design
- Develop and review structural concepts, 3D models, assemblies, installation layouts, equipment arrangements, routing, supports, installation drawings, and detail drawings for assigned aircraft zones.
- Define metallic and composite parts, joints, interfaces, fastener concepts, tolerances, attachment concepts, clearances, access, and installation provisions for equipment, ducts, pipes, tubes, hoses, brackets, supports, and related hardware.
- Establish integrated structural and systems-installation solutions that balance load paths, functional requirements, safety, producibility, assembly, inspection, maintainability, installation sequence, weight, cost, and aircraft-zone constraints.
- Coordinate the integrated product definition with stress, materials and processes, system functional engineering, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, interiors, safety, manufacturing, quality, maintainability, mass properties, partners, suppliers, and operations teams.
- Manage spatial integration and resolve clashes, geometric conflicts, access constraints, interface discrepancies, installation-sequence issues, and competing structural and systems requirements.
- Lead technical trade studies and design reviews, clearly communicating design intent, assumptions, constraints, decisions, risks, and open items.
- Support substantiation, installation compliance, verification and validation, qualification, and certification activities by providing complete and traceable design definition and technical rationale.
- Provide integrated technical solutions for production, supplier, ground-test, flight-test, and in-service issues, including root-cause analysis and corrective design action.
- Manage engineering changes, assess cross-disciplinary impacts, and maintain configuration and product-definition data in the applicable PLM environment.
- Lead complex, multi-zone or multi-system design activities and establish coherent structural and installation integration approaches.
- Review and approve significant technical solutions within delegated authority and lead difficult cross-disciplinary investigations.
- Mentor engineers, influence decisions without direct authority, and improve standards, methods, lessons learned, and digital practices.
Education & experience
- Bachelor degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or another relevant engineering discipline.
- Typically 10-15 years of relevant aerospace engineering experience, including significant experience in aircraft structural design, systems installation, or aircraft-zone integration.
- Aircraft structural configuration, metallic and composite design principles, load paths, joints, fasteners, tolerancing, and GD&T.
- Aircraft systems installation and physical integration, including routing and installation of equipment, ducts, pipes, tubes, hoses, brackets, and supports.
- Clearance, access, maintainability, installation sequence, environmental and zone constraints, producibility, assembly, and inspection considerations.
- Engineering drawings, 3D product definition, aerospace materials and processes, design standards, certification fundamentals, and configuration control.
- CATIA V5, ENOVIA, and MS Office; knowledge of NX and Teamcenter is an asset.
- Working knowledge of PLM, product definition, engineering change, and configuration management processes appropriate to the level.
- Clear and professional written and verbal communication.
- Collaborative approach with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Sound judgement, systems thinking, analytical problem-solving, organization, and accountability.
- Ability to coordinate priorities, reconcile competing requirements, and provide constructive technical guidance.
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical decisions and mentor others.
- Fluent in English (mandatory).
- French is an asset.
