• Individual development: Great upskilling opportunities and development prospects with unlimited access to 10,000+ e-learning courses, certifications, accelerated development programmes, and national and international mobility.

Your challenges

• Technical planning of flight tests and integration: develop a test strategy and refine objectives, configuration, and test procedures in detail to meet verification and validation requirements as efficiently as possible.

• Instrumentation and data acquisition: specify instrumentation requirements, control the validation of sensors and other recording and visualization systems to ensure data acquisition meets expectations.

• Execution of systems integration tests: verify the proper functioning of the aircraft's various systems in a flight environment. Identify and troubleshoot integration problems with flight crews, mechanics, and design teams.

• Data analysis and reporting: analyze, interpret, and document results and observations, and synthesize conclusions and recommendations for relevant specialists, the A220 management team, and regulatory aviation authorities.

Your boarding pass

• Master's degree in aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related technical field.

• Analytical and rigorous, with solid technical experience in an aerospace or high-tech engineering environment: excellent general understanding of all aircraft systems of an A220 and associated development and certification regulations.

• Experience in operational aviation including regulatory constraints related to aircraft and crew preparation before flight; proficiency in a cockpit environment, ideally in an experimental flight context.

• Capable of acting as a project leader: proactively anticipate risks and work independently regardless of the nature of challenges and potential stakeholders (airport, authorities, suppliers, partners, etc.).

• Curious and enthusiastic, fostering a strong team spirit with multidisciplinary teams including design engineers, pilots, and technicians.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, in French and English.

Travel required: <5% national and international travel.

Possibility of very occasional on-call duty (a few times a year) during weekends and/or holiday periods, depending on the test campaigns.
