Job details

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. How to thrive in this role?Skills, Knowledge & Experience • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. • Minimum 15+ years of relevant experience in aerospace engineering or related industry. Technical Expertise You demonstrate strong expertise in: • Aircraft structures and/or systems installation and integration • Configuration development, preliminary sizing, and detailed design • Design for manufacturing, assembly, and industrialization • Materials & processes, GD&T, and aerospace design standards • Weight control and optimization • Certification requirements (CAR/FAR/CS) and compliance processes Tools & Methods • Proficiency in: o CATIA V5, ENOVIA, MS Office • Knowledge of: o NX, Teamcenter (asset) o PLM systems and configuration control Operational & Business Acumen • Strong understanding of: o Aircraft systems operation and interfaces o Manufacturing processes and capabilities o In-service operation and maintenance constraints (asset) o Aircraft interiors integration (asset) Leadership & Soft Skills • Demonstrated ability to: o Lead technical integration across multiple stakeholders o Work in high-pressure, complex program environments o Communicate effectively with internal and external partners • Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership skills. Languages • Fluent in English (mandatory) • French is an asset. Location: Dorval, QC, CAN, H4S 1Y9
