Technical Expert, Engineering - Systems Installation Integrator

As a Technical Expert, Engineering - Systems Installation Integrator, you will act as a technical authority, shape design strategy, and lead enterprise-level technical alignment and capability development. Your work will focus on the physical integration of aircraft systems other than electrical wiring, including equipment, ducts, pipes, tubes, hoses, brackets, supports, and associated interfaces.

What are your contributions to the team?

Installation Design & Integration

• Develop and review 3D installation layouts, equipment arrangements, routing, supports, assemblies, and detail drawings for assigned aircraft systems, excluding electrical wiring.
• Define physical interfaces, clearances, access, attachment concepts, and installation provisions for equipment, ducts, pipes, tubes, hoses, and related hardware.
• Balance functional installation requirements with safety, maintainability, manufacturability, assembly, weight, cost, and aircraft-zone constraints.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

• Coordinate installation definition with system functional engineering, structures, stress, interiors, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, safety, manufacturing, quality, maintainability, and mass properties.
• Manage spatial integration and resolve clashes, access constraints, installation sequence issues, and interface discrepancies.
• Coordinate technical definition with partners, suppliers, and operations teams, as applicable.

Design Maturity, Compliance & Support

• Support design reviews, installation compliance, verification and validation, qualification, and certification activities.
• Provide technical solutions for production, supplier, ground-test, flight-test, and in-service installation issues.
• Manage engineering changes, assess impacts, and maintain configuration and product data in the applicable PLM environment.

Level-specific contribution

• Serve as a discipline technical authority for the most complex or high-impact integration matters.
• Shape architecture and design strategy, resolve cross-program technical risks, and provide authoritative recommendations to leadership.
• Develop organizational capability through governance, standards, mentoring, knowledge transfer, and external technical alignment.

How to thrive in this role?
