Responsibilities
As a Staff Systems Integration Engineer you will provide technical leadership for the integration of major aircraft systems across the full product development lifecycle. You will establish subsystem installation architectures, guide multidisciplinary engineering teams, and lead complex integration efforts involving structures, avionics, propulsion, electrical systems, manufacturing, and suppliers.
The ideal candidate is a recognized technical leader with extensive experience integrating complex aircraft systems. They possess exceptional engineering judgment, are trusted to solve the organization's most challenging multidisciplinary integration problems, and consistently drive improvements in aircraft design, manufacturability, reliability, and engineering execution through collaboration and technical leadership.
Serve as the technical lead for integration of major aircraft systems across multiple engineering disciplines.
Establish subsystem installation architecture and interface strategies for mechanical, electrical, avionics, and fluid systems.
Lead multidisciplinary packaging studies balancing aircraft performance, manufacturability, maintainability, reliability, and serviceability.
Develop engineering standards for installation design, routing practices, CAD modeling, drawing quality, and configuration management.
Lead complex engineering investigations involving aircraft integration, manufacturing, supplier issues, or field problems.
Review and approve installation drawings, BOM structures, engineering changes, and configuration baselines.
Guide prototype builds, manufacturing readiness, and production integration activities.
Lead technical coordination with Systems Owners, Structures, Stress, Manufacturing and Supply Chain organizations.
Mentor engineers across multiple programs while driving technical consistency throughout the organization.
Manage technical scope, schedule, risks, and engineering execution for major aircraft development efforts.
