Aircraft Systems Installation Engineer

Role Overview

• Own installation work packages to integrate aircraft systems into the airframe with clear interfaces, routing, and verification evidence
• Deliver buildable installation definitions (routing, brackets, access, maintainability) under configuration control
• Own interfaces across structures/electrical/propulsion/thermal/hydraulics/avionics and close integration clashes early
• Support prototype builds with rapid, controlled updates and inspection-ready evidence
• Perform trade studies, propose and implement the improvements in terms of System Installation with impact on safety, weight, cost, and installation time
• Prepare compliance documentation and test plans to meet regulatory standards
• Produce installation deliverables (3D integration, drawings, interface definitions, constraints)
• Drive interface alignment across structures, electrical/harnessing, propulsion, and thermal teams
• Define and manage installation requirements (clearances, separation, protection, service loops) with traceability
• Support configuration control: manage changes, impacts, and release status for build/test hardware
• Support prototype build and integration: resolve issues, update definitions, close actions
• Evaluate and implement new technologies for modifications and improvements
• Define installation verification activities (inspection points, fit checks, functional checks) and document results
• Support supplier/partner integration where components are externally designed

Requirements

• BSc/MSc in Aerospace/Mechanical or similar
• 4-7 years experience in airframe/systems installation, or complex packaging work
• Proven experience in CAD software (e.g., 3DExperience)
• Strong interface discipline (ICDs, change control, clear ownership)
• Understanding of aircraft systems and manufacturing processes
• Good written documentation discipline (clear, reviewable, testable)
• Experience working with multiple engineering teams and balancing constraints
• Nice-to-have: Experience with high-voltage routing constraints or EMI/EMC considerations (awareness level)

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Retirement plans
• Paid time off
• Flexible work arrangements
• Professional development
