Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for a Senior MAP Flightline Engineer to join our Engineering department based in Mobile, AL. In this position you will have a unique opportunity to be as close as possible to the physical Aircraft and deeply involved through the complete Aircraft design, build, test process and Aircraft operations. The MAP III Flightline position is responsible to develop solutions related to aircraft non-conformities which require engineering expertise and delegation to be resolved during aircraft flight line and delivery activities. Meet the team: Our Engineers at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing facility take our aircraft from concept to customer delivery – working with production teams on every aspect of assembly from managing technical information, quality control, maintenance tasks and health & safety – along flowlines and flightlines. Join our team and watch our aircraft come to life. Your working environment: Nearby on ‘Airbus Way’ you will find the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility for commercial aircraft. Opened at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley in 2015, the facility produces A320 Family aircraft and added a second product line for the A220 in 2019. The facility, which strengthens the U.S. aerospace industry, is part of Airbus’ strategy to enhance its global competitiveness by meeting the growing needs of its customers in the United States and beyond. How we care for you: Financial Rewards: Competitive base salary, incentive compensation which may include profit sharing schemes, retirement savings plan and the ability to participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) Work/Life Balance: Paid time off including personal time, holidays and a generous paid parental leave program. Health & Welfare: Comprehensive insurance coverage including medical (traditional and high-deductible health plans), prescription, dental, vision, life, disability, Employee Assistance Plan (“EAP”) and other supplemental benefit coverages. Individual Development: Upskilling and development opportunities through our global Leadership University, including unlimited access to 10,000+ e-learning courses focusing on ways to develop your employability, certifications, career path as well as the opportunity to participate in accelerated development programmes and both national and international mobility. At Airbus, we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and accessibly. Wherever possible, we support flexible working arrangements to stimulate innovative thinking. Your challenges: Accountable for design engineering activities in the aircraft systems (Aircraft Control & Monitoring, Avionics, power & Mechanical systems, Powerplant). Creation and authorization of technical solutions including justification reports for repairs, reworks or design updates. Standard repairs are approved autonomously, major repairs if required with the support of the transnational Airbus Engineering departments (design, stress, fatigue, aerodynamics, material etc.) Define technical solutions during NC treatment for metallic and composite structures comprising the complete primary / secondary aircraft structure (all Airframe ATA chapters linked to structure design). Accountability for the given approved repair, rework, and troubleshooting instruction as well as for design update solutions in front of the corresponding design/stress office and authorities (TC/FAA). Represent and act in the name of the Chief Engineering and the design offices of AIRBUS (by delegation) as well as design to build suppliers. Act as an interface between the A220 Family Chief Engineer/ Design office and the Manufacturing/ Quality assurance (Operations). Provide engineering support to the FAL US during the complete manufacturing process from the delivery of the sections, FAL and flightline activities, up to the aircraft ferry flight in all structure related items including engineering presentations in front of the customers (internal and external). Create, approve, and authorize temporary aircraft definitions (special instructions) in line with design and airworthiness requirements for testing purposes. Create, approve and monitor design corrective actions / improvements and preventive measures (launch of new modifications, drawing updates, design query notes) driving product improvements or non-conformity eradication. Present technical explanations/corrective actions to the flight test department and to the customer if required (internal and external customers). Perform other duties as assigned and adapted to the FAL requirements. Assigns, coordinates and reviews the technical work of the mentee Non-conformities (NC's) are written by the production/quality departments or Flight Test Engineers, if they detect any deviations/damages during the assembly process, inspection or production flights. Concessions cover significant non-conformities requiring dedicated justification and corresponding engineering technical delegation
