As an Aircraft Structural & Systems Integration Engineer, you will support the design, development, and integration of airframe structures and system installations. Working across the full engineering lifecycle, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that technical designs meet performance, weight, manufacturability, and airworthiness requirements.
Key Responsibilities1. Design Integration & Layout Development
- Develop and review structural and systems installation layouts, including 3D models and 2D drawings.
- Support the definition of interfaces, routing, and installation concepts across the airframe.
- Contribute to integration solutions that ensure compatibility, maintainability, and operational performance.
- Participate in engineering trade-off studies evaluated against weight, cost, and manufacturability parameters.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including stress, systems, interiors, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, and mass properties.
- Support coordination with suppliers and partners to ensure alignment across technical specifications.
- Interface regularly with manufacturing and operations teams to align engineering deliverables with shop floor requirements.
- Review detailed engineering designs, including sheet metal, machined parts, systems installations, and assemblies.
- Provide technical solutions to resolve complex design, integration, or manufacturing challenges.
- Support shop floor and in-service issue resolution as required.
- Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles throughout design evolution.
- Manage engineering changes through the full configuration control lifecycle.
- Provide input toward impact assessments involving technical scope, cost, schedule, and program risk.
- Ensure engineering design data integrity within Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms (ENOVIA / Teamcenter).
- Support weight management initiatives and actively identify weight-saving opportunities across assemblies.
- Contribute to performance improvement and optimization activities across airframe systems.
- Provide regular technical status updates to project and functional leadership.
- Support formal design reviews and key program milestones with internal and external stakeholders.
- Participate in proactive risk identification and mitigation activities.
- Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline (a Technologist degree will be considered depending on relative experience).
- Typically 5+ years of relevant experience in aerospace engineering or a related industry.
Solid Knowledge Of
- Aircraft structures and/or systems installation and integration.
- Configuration development and preliminary sizing.
- Detailed design (sheet metal, machined parts, piping, and mechanical assemblies).
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
- Aerospace materials, fabrication processes, and design standards.
- Weight control fundamentals.
- Certification principles and airworthiness regulatory requirements.
- Proficiency in: CATIA V5, ENOVIA, and MS Office.
- Familiarity with: PLM systems and configuration control processes.
- Knowledge of (Asset): NX and Teamcenter.
- Practical understanding of aircraft system interfaces and installation constraints.
- Awareness of manufacturing processes and production shop floor environments.
- Exposure to in-service operations or technical support activities (asset).
- Strong teamwork and cross-functional collaboration mindset.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Solid problem-solving and analytical reasoning capabilities.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously while contributing effectively to team objectives.
- Fluent in French and English (mandatory).
