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 across the Final Assembly Line, flight line, and delivery center, the engineer serves as a primary technical interface between local manufacturing and Airbus Design Offices and Chief Engineering networks. The role focuses on timely, right-first-time engineering fixes for deviations, damage, and concessions identified 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, with the objective of ensuring that factory output meets Airbus Design Principles and continuous airworthiness requirements.

The engineer works under formal engineering delegation on behalf of Airbus Chief Engineering and Systems Center of Competence, coordinating with international engineering teams on complex or non-standard issues. Responsibilities include authoring and approving corrective actions, repair drawings, rework instructions, temporary aircraft definitions, drawing updates, and concessions, and maintaining accountability for the safety and compliance of released engineering data. The position provides hands-on support throughout manufacturing and delivery, presents technical explanations to Flight Test and customers, and supports corrective and preventive engineering improvements.

The position is based onsite at Airbus's U.S. Manufacturing Facility at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley. The job requires awareness of compliance risks and a commitment to integrity.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Responsibilities

• Develop, justify, validate, and authorize technical solutions for cabin and cargo non-conformities, damage, concessions, and other issues discovered during assembly, ground testing, and production flights.
• Prepare and approve repair drawings, rework instructions, troubleshooting steps, drawing updates, and design corrective actions within the Cabin and Cargo domain.
• Ensure engineering deliverables meet site Service Level Agreement timelines and quality thresholds.
• Maintain safety and airworthiness compliance for released engineering data, including alignment with Airbus Design Principles and applicable EASA and FAA requirements.
• Define, evaluate, and authorize temporary aircraft definitions through special instructions in alignment with cabin architecture and integration rules.
• Provide autonomous decisions on standard repairs and coordinate complex or non-standard issues with global Airbus engineering teams.
• Provide engineering support across manufacturing, including the shop floor, cabin furnishing, flight line, and delivery activities from initial section delivery through final ferry flight.
• Serve as a technical interface among the A320 Family Chief Engineer and Design Office, local Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance.
• Present technical explanations and corrective-action summaries 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 build defects.
• Provide backup engineering support for related cabin systems, including audio-video installations, water and waste networks, fire extinguishing features, and cabin communication tools.
• Mentor peers and provide technical guidance to new team members.

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.
