This role is suited to an aircraft Avionic and/or Electrical Systems Engineer with experience in the integration and certification of aircraft avionic & electrical systems within an aerospace environment. A high level of attention to detail is required.  The role can be tasked based and therefore it may be performed remotely or at our on-site offices with flexible hours of work.

Key Responsibilities

• Liaise with modification Design Engineers to support the production of modification documentation.
• Identifying, collating and referencing design data through the project Windchill Product Data Management (PDM) tool and network files.
• Producing certification evidence forms and letters to allow modifications to be submitted for Certification Validation Engineer (CVE) approval.
• Production of test documentation and other analyses/ reports.
• Production of modification control documentation.

Key Attributes:

Essential:

• Experience as an Avionic and/or Electrical Systems Engineer involving design, integration and certification of aircraft avionic & electrical systems within an aerospace design organisation.
• Understanding and experience of working to initial airworthiness regulations – e.g. FAA or EASA regulations: FAR 23, FAR 25, CS 23, CS 25, etc.
• Experience of working within a multi-discipline engineering team within the aerospace industry.
• UK National, no dual nationality and holder of current SC security clearance (eligible to transfer)

Desirable:

• Knowledge of military aircraft modification and certification processes e.g. DAOS, application of DEF-STAN.
• Use of electrical/wiring design tools and wiring diagram creation e.g. AutoCAD.
