Your challenges

• Defining & Deploying the strategy for the Electrical and Optical components for the future A/C Architecture (Products lines approach).
• Defining, building and launching R&T projects to derisk future technologies and support the strategy.
• Securing, organizing and coordinating the contribution of the team to the different projects to ensure the consistency and alignment with our products lines approach
• Developing innovative solutions in-line with Airbus needs
• Representing engineering inside the R&T Multi Functional Team (MFT) with Procurement, Supply chain and Manufacturing Engineering.
• Managing Suppliers on all technical activities.

Profile

• Electrical Engineering and associated experiences with understanding of physics between the component design and it’s electrical properties (power and data transmission), with knowledge of high voltage phenomenon (e.g.arc-tracking, partial discharge, triple points).
• Environmental components performance (EMI, fluid resistance, fire, corrosion, vibration…) and associated test methods.
• Component material properties (e.g. conductors, insulators, shielding and jackets)
• Manufacturing methods (e.g. cable assembly).
• Modellisation (Physic & Multi physics)
• High Innovation mindset and ability to make changes and to challenge the existent
• Good communication and leadership skills Ability to take decisions, to present and defend the position of the team in front of our many interfaces (e.g.Experts, R&T LWPL & Roadmap owners, Procurement, Supply Chain, Programmes, suppliers, Laboratories, ATAxx organizations).
• English - high level of spoken and written English is required. French and German would be an advantage.
