Aircraft Systems Engineer

More about the team you will be joining as a Vehicle Systems Engineer

You will be joining a team responsible for Systems Engineering and Safety. This team owns management of systems processes, methods and tools. It is part of a Squad which includes modelling & simulation, aerodynamics, its performance, structural loads & dynamics, handling qualities, and aircraft level requirements. 

My Impact as a Vehicle Systems Engineer

As a Vehicle Systems Engineer, you will work closely with system specialists, airworthiness specialists, and aircraft architects to define how the aircraft will look and perform. Your speciality is knowing how to translate and prioritise customer, company and regulator wants into actionable requirements. As the aircraft design mature, you will verify aircraft requirements on the "iron bird".

Duties will be wide ranging and varied and will include:
•    Supporting aircraft configuration team on integration tasks
•    Requirements capture, decomposition & traceability
•    Interpretation and validation of external requirements, including regulatory requirements
•    Verification planning and compliance evidence collection
•    Integration testing
•    Architecture design with performance/complexity/cost trade-offs
•    Fault tree/safety analysis 
•    Supporting internal and/or external projects with forward looking objectives

What success will look like for the Vehicle Systems Engineer

Success will be an aircraft that meets customer, company and regulatory requirements through a balanced, beautifully integrated design. It will be an aircraft that takes off and lands vertically, with electric motors that whisper as the aircraft carves through the sky, and a flight control system that simplifies pilot age. It will make travel faster, safer, and greener.
 

Everything sounds very interesting but how do I know this is the role for me? 

We are looking for people that will have the following qualifications and experiences: 

 Essential Qualifications/Experience:
•    Bachelor's Degree in relevant engineering discipline
•    Broad knowledge and understanding of aircraft systems, both conventional and UAS
•    Experience in aircraft systems integration
•    Experience with requirement management tools, such as Doors/Jama
•    Experience with systems engineering principles: Both sides of the ‘V’
•    Understanding of aerospace certifying standards

Preferred Qualifications/Experience:
•    Masters or PhD in relevant engineering discipline
•    Experience in high level aircraft design
•    Experience in design of aircraft systems
•    Experience certifying to aerospace standards
•    Experience with development and testing of aircraft and/or UAS systems
