Job Description:
Description of the job :
A position as a Air to Air Refueling Systems and BOOM System Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence & Space in Getafe (Madrid). The successful applicant will join the TADYR2 department.
The mission of Air to Air Refueling Systems organization is to conceive, develop, certify and support in service along the complete product lifecycle, the solutions (systems, installations, equipment, global support services) for air to air refueling capabilities in Airbus DS platforms. The position requires a mechatronics system engineer with knowledge and interest in several disciplines, including mechanical engineering (design, mechanics/dynamics, structural, fatigue), actuation systems (electromechanical, hydraulic) and control systems (avionics, critical SW/FW specification, modeling and simulation, integration and testing). The application of this disciplines is framed in the required safety, quality and performance processes according to Airbus systems engineering standards and the needs of our customers.
Ability to manage the development of Air to Air Refueling systems and modifications, from concept to aircraft validation and certification.
Mechanical and actuation systems development. Interface and collaboration with other internal organizations (Physical Design and Structure, Procurement, Testing). Specification, modeling, prototyping, testing specification, V&V planning / execution, certification process, industrialization and service key support.
Control, Monitoring & Recording Sub-system / equipment / component / module for Airbus, including Systems Architecture. Specify considering the following factors: Safety, Quality, Systems Performance, Cost, Environmental, Operational and Industrial Requirements, Design to Service. INPUTS: Top Level requirements and operational needs. Sub-system interfaces from Airbus and Systems Suppliers. OUTPUTS: Deliver safe systems which minimise operational costs and maximise performance and reliability throughout the product lifecycle.
Support and participation in customer program lifecycle from AAR organization.
Collaboration with manufacturing organizations to optimize AAR systems industrialization and testing. Collaboration with Services organization to follow up, support in service and optimize the AAR systems capabilities, with a strong end customer orientation.
Task & accountabilities (2):
The scope of the activity and mission includes (but not limited to):
- Development of boom actuation and control systems
- Electromechanical and hydraulic actuators
*Mechanical Engineering basics: design (CATIA), stress, fatigue, mechanisms
*Flight Control Systems A/C installations: electrical and mechanical installation, rigging; electrical wiring systems design (SeeXP, segregation, etc.)
* Flight Control subsystems / equipment (computers, actuators, motors, sensors) specification, supplier development supervision, qualification testing, design and production validation (APQP, etc.)
- Control electronics and power electronics
- Flight Control systems / subsystems / equipment development and integration testing rigs: bench specification, testing specification, validation
*Safety analysis process, from architecture validation to PSSA, equipment FMEA (functional FMEA when application SW/FW is developed internally in Airbus DS over a HW platform supplied by external partner) and system SSA
- Data science (test data massive analysis, etc.)
* Machine Learning, Computer Vision and general artificial intelligence knowledge to apply it to systems development product and processes
Along the product lifecyle: concept design, system/subsystem/equipment specification, detailed design follow up, A/C installation, supplier monitoring and technical product acquisition, testing, certification, etc.
Required skills (2) :
For accomplishing the described mission, the following profile and competences are required:
- Leadership skills, including Business focus, Team focus, integrity, proactive and autonomous, communication skills
*Aeronautical, industrial/mechanical engineering, electronic engineer (or similar)
- Desired experience of 3+ years in development, A/C installation and certification of A/C control systems (flight controls, landing gear, etc.)
- Control / actuation technologies and architectures for safety critical systems and availability/reliability
- Avionics / Control computer development basics: power and control electronics, common control physical and functional interfaces (discrete, analogue, sensors, digital buses: A429, CAN, 1553, ETH, discrete/analogue, sensors...), equipment functional and environmental qualification, EMI/EMC, etc.)
- Mechatronics (microelectronics, power control electronics, motors, actuators, mechanisms, sensors, control design, hydraulics, pneumatics, etc.)
- Experience with system testing environment (specification/design, execution, exploitation of test means for system testing: control computer bench testing
specification and exploitation, control / actuation system integration, environmental testing, SEAS, National Instruments test systems, etc.).
- Desirable experience with simulation and modelling tools (esp. Matlab Simulink): physical modelling, control modelling, automatic code generation for on-board control SW
- Desirable experience with control computer SW functionality design and specification process
- Desirable experience in airworthiness and certification, from a system, qualification, controllability , interaction with structure/loads/Handing Qualities, etc.
standpoint
- Desirable knowledge of Airbus DS system development and certification directives, configuration control and tools (SPRINT...), mechanical drawings and wiring diagrams databases, etc.
- Desirable RAMS hands-on experience from an equipment/system standpoint (system/equipment reliability, availability, maintainability, safety analysis, methodologies, handbooks)
- Digital competences related with high amount of data processing.
- Tools: DOORS, Matlab (including Simulink), programming skills, Test Systems
- Advanced mastering of English language (written, conversation)
This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
