Technical Expert – Structures & Systems Design Integration

What are your contributions to the team?

As a Technical Expert, you will act as a key integrator and technical authority, ensuring seamless integration of aircraft structures and systems across the full product lifecycle.

You will:

1. Design Integration & Architecture

• Lead the development of conceptual layouts and integration solutions for structures and systems across the complete airframe.
• Define and manage interfaces, installation requirements, and system architecture to ensure compatibility and performance.
• Perform and lead trade studies and optimization activities (weight, cost, performance, manufacturability).

2. Cross-functional Leadership

• Act as a focal point across multidisciplinary teams: stress, systems, interiors, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, mass properties, manufacturing, and quality.
• Coordinate technical alignment with partners, suppliers, and other Bombardier engineering teams.
• Provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentorship to junior team members.

3. Design Development & Industrialization

• Generate preliminary and detailed design concepts using 3D modeling tools.
• Support production, manufacturing, and shop floor issue resolution.
• Ensure robust Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).

4. Certification, Validation & Compliance

• Support verification & validation (V&V), test definition, and execution.
• Ensure designs meet airworthiness, safety, and regulatory requirements.
• Contribute to certification strategy, compliance demonstration, and qualification requirements.

5. Program & Change Management

• Manage engineering modifications through full lifecycle and configuration control processes.
• Provide input to impact assessments (technical, cost, schedule, risks).
• Track and manage technical risks, dependencies, and design maturity.
• Provide clear status reporting to project and functional leadership.

6. Continuous Improvement & Digital Engineering

• Ensure PLM data integrity and configuration management (ENOVIA/Teamcenter).
• Contribute to process improvements, design standards, and lessons learned.
