Role Overview

The role will involve being responsible for leading design investigations and formulating technical solutions for a range of tasks. As a part of this role you will be the lead and mentor to the engineering team, assisting the development of team members. You will also ensure that design standards and requirements are met and operate as a design authorisation signatory.

Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, check/approve technical solutions and compliance documentation for work-packages to ensure they are compliant with all relevant customer, regulatory, and airworthiness requirements, within agreed program, schedule, and manufacturing constraints.
• Identify, analyse and resolve technical problems and apply/integrate solutions.
• Develop, execute, and verify methods plans, toolsets and approaches that are appropriate and compliant to achieve the design and programme objectives.
• Analyse customer tasking documents and define the associated technical solutions as input for bids and proposals within assigned programs/projects.
• Identify and assess technical risk and propose mitigations relevant to the work-package within assigned programmes/projects.
• Create and check/approve design definitions of a work-package, including integration, interfaces, dimensions, materials, parts, manufacturing process requirements, assemblies, and tolerances which are compliant to all design requirements and objectives.
• Generate or review, and sign as appropriate the assigned project deliverables, documents, and reports according to the project signature authorizations.
• Mentor and development of engineers within assigned programmes.
• Support with the creation and delivery of training material and initiatives relevant to a work-package/programme.
• Support and participate in technical and customer reviews, including formal gate reviews and in the creation and preparation of technical data and presentations of a work-package.
• Perform all activities at a level of minimal supervision and guide other engineers within the work-package as required.
• Generate and check test specifications/plans and/or alternate means of compliance (analysis/similarity) as required to demonstrate design solution complies with certification requirements.
