About The Position

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is seeking a Cabin & Cargo Engineer for its Engineering department in Mobile, Alabama. This highly technical, operational role develops, justifies, and approves engineering solutions for aircraft-systems non-conformities. Working within the Final Assembly Line, flight line, and delivery center, the engineer serves as a technical interface between local manufacturing and Airbus Design Offices and Chief Engineering networks.

The role delivers timely, right-first-time solutions for deviations, damage, and concessions found during final assembly, outfit inspections, ground testing, and production test flights. Its scope covers Cabin & Cargo furnishing and associated cabin systems across relevant ATA chapters. The engineer is delegated to act in the name of Airbus Chief Engineering and the Systems Center of Competence, and is accountable for the safety and compliance of released engineering data under Airbus design principles and continuing-airworthiness requirements.

The position provides engineering support from initial section delivery through final ferry flight, prepares technical explanations for flight-test personnel and customers, and authors or approves repairs, corrective actions, drawing updates, temporary aircraft definitions, and concessions. It also supports improvement actions, recurring-defect prevention, related cabin-system topics, and peer mentoring.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 0 to 3 years of progressive aerospace engineering experience in Design Office, MAP, Chief Engineering, or In-Service Engineering.
• Working experience in transnational teams.
• Understanding of MAP Engineering deliverables.
• Knowledge of aircraft systems.
• Experience in systems design, including architecture and integration.
• Demonstrated effectiveness in solving engineering problems.
• Knowledge of Airbus Design Principles for systems and electrical and mechanical installation.
• Knowledge of aircraft configuration management rules.
• Knowledge of Airbus internal procedures, processes, and tools.
• Experience using Airbus manuals, such as the Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Wiring List, and Illustrated Parts Catalog.

Responsibilities

• Author, validate, and authorize technical solutions, repair drawings, rework instructions, and troubleshooting steps for Cabin and Cargo non-conformities.
• Ensure engineering outputs comply with aircraft safety and continuing-airworthiness requirements.
• Define, evaluate, and authorize temporary aircraft definitions through special instructions in alignment with cabin architecture and integration rules.
• Release standard repair instructions autonomously and coordinate complex issues with global Airbus teams.
• Provide engineering support on the shop floor during assembly, cabin furnishing, flight-line, and delivery activities.
• Coordinate between the A320 Family Chief Engineer and Design Office, local Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance.
• Explain technical matters and corrective actions to the Flight Test Department and support delivery discussions with customers.
• Initiate and monitor engineering improvements, modification updates, drawing corrections, and Design Query Notes to address recurring defects.
• Provide engineering backup on cabin-system topics, including audio-video installations, water and waste networks, fire-extinguishing features, and cabin communications.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to new team members.
• Formulate and approve timely technical solutions for non-conformities identified during assembly, ground testing, and production flights, meeting site service-level timelines and quality standards.
• Coordinate with overseas engineering domains to resolve complex, non-standard system malfunctions.
• Create, validate, and authorize design corrective actions, drawing updates, temporary aircraft definitions, and concessions.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and incentive compensation, which may include profit-sharing schemes.
• Retirement savings plan and ability to participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
• Paid time off, including personal time and holidays.
• Paid parental leave.
• Medical, prescription, dental, vision, life, disability, Employee Assistance Plan, and supplemental insurance coverage.
