Key Responsibilities
Methodology Development: Contribute to the creation of means that drive automation-aided design capabilities within the Airframe.
Strategic Deployment: Support the ongoing deployment of new Automation technological bricks across the business.
Architecture Integration: Ensure the right level of interdependence between automation development and airframe architecture parameters.
Multi-Disciplinary Automation: Leverage skills across Structure & Stress and Electrical & Mechanical design, utilizing everything from existing KBE means to AI and Machine Learning.
Process Definition: Master the rules governing parametric design and automation-aided design to ensure maximum benefit for the Airframe architecture.
Required Skills & Experience
Education: Degree in Aero or Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
Design Tools: Strong experience with Catia V5 (3D model creation/validation) and DMU navigation/Product Structure.
Digital Engineering: Proficiency in KBE (Knowledge Based Engineering) and coding/scripting (Python, C++, VBA, CAA).
Data Management: Experience handling PDM/VPM/DMU tools and linking them to CAD models within a contextual environment.
Engineering Knowledge: Solid understanding of Airframe Engineering, including System Installation, Structure design, and Stress analysis.
Process Awareness: Knowledge of the Aircraft build process, configuration management, and Airbus-specific processes (especially DE.PA) is highly desirable.
Business Translation: Ability to translate operational requirements into robust digital automation solutions and IT architectures.
Soft Skills
Collaborative Mindset: A team player who demonstrates agility and autonomy within a transnational environment.
Leadership & Coordination: Ability to align the efforts of a diverse group of specialists and experts.
Change Management: Ability to lead and thrive in an environment of constant change and evolving internal processes.
Empowerment: Autonomous and self-empowered approach to problem-solving.
