The Design/ Lead Engineer will be actively participating to Specify, Design, and Integrate vehicle architecture and equipment functions on multiple platforms (mainly SA A320 7 WB A350 Program). The Design/Project Engineer regularly designs new components and installations consisting of both metallic and composite materials and also completes detailed design definitions of new products using CATIA V5. The Design/Project lead Engineer takes the lead on projects to support new opportunities, new development, and improve or maintain existing aeronautical products.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
Vehicle structure Architecture and Design Definition
-
Define structure architecture and function solutions in accordance with engineering operation requirements as elaborated during offer phases to meet customer, airworthiness, general engineering standards and company requirements.
-
Design, integrate and approve the defined solutions & Design data sets.
-
Define and review technical documents needed to verify the structure architecture and relevant product structure.
-
Define and approve verification methods (analysis, tests ), elaborate verification programs including general engineering aspects such as Function Hazardous Analysis, EMI:EMC, general environment, vibrations, thermal analysis (list not limited) and deliver the verification results to the Airworthiness team.
-
Provide technical design analysis of third-party STCs
-
Assess CR change impact on legacy product & implement valid design solution to close MOD/MP s.
Structural Integration Activities
-
Design, develop, and review technical documents and engineering structural drawings needed to integrate equipment and their associated interfaces.
-
Design layout of aircraft modifications and aircraft configuration for various Programs.
-
Drafting and 3D modeling of installations, assemblies and parts including sheet metal, metallic and composite design
-
Check Wiring Diagrams, wire routing and aircraft structure interface (including considerations of ESI/MSI requirements, separation requirements, maintainability, etc.)
-
Check airframe design integrations and modifications for structural items such as doors, windows, frames, etc. and for external load items such as cameras, lighting, hoists, cargo hooks, floats, etc.
-
Review Installation Instructions and Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
-
Provide liaison support to various internal and external customers as required for support of aircraft integration and conformity efforts (suppliers, planning, industry, quality, etc.)
