This full-time role is focused on Systems Installation (ESI / MSI) Liaison and MRB Engineering, requiring 0-1 years of experience. The position involves direct technical execution, validation, and engineering authorization of solutions for aircraft systems installations and non-conformities.

Reporting to the A320 Family MAP Systems Installation Team Manager, the engineer will drive the technical resolution of shop floor non-conformities and concessions during the A320 Family Final Assembly Line (FAL) manufacturing process across all relevant ATA chapters. A core focus is the rapid, high-quality technical execution of Electrical System Installation (ESI) and Mechanical System Installation (MSI) fixes across the full airframe.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, validate, approve, and monitor design and engineering corrective actions, improvements, and preventive measures to resolve physical installation non-conformities across the full airframe perimeter.
• Author and authorize technical solutions and justification reports for repairs, rework, or troubleshooting instructions within the ESI and MSI perimeters. Standard instructions are approved autonomously, while major reworks are coordinated through transnational engineering departments.
• Ensure compliance with Aircraft Safety and continuous Airworthiness standards across all domain-specific MAP engineering activities.
• Act as a critical functional interface between the A320 Family Chief Engineer/Design Office, local Manufacturing execution, and Quality Assurance departments.
• Liaise with both Airbus Americas and European engineering departments to harmonize local operations with global ways of working.
• Represent the site and MAP US Engineering perimeter at Airbus forums, center of competency meetings, and multi-functional team (MFT) troubleshooting blocks.
• Document lessons learned and feed technical solutions into the MSI/ESI repository to harmonize and improve best practices across work streams.
• Lead or support the presentation of complex repairs and technical explanations directly to internal and external customers or the flight test department.
• Create, approve, and authorize temporary aircraft definitions via special instructions in strict compliance with aircraft architecture regulations.
• Provide comprehensive installation engineering support directly to the shop floor during assembly, equipment installation, flight line, and delivery activities.
• Define work solutions for manufacture, provide relevant input to design to minimize recurring defects, and leverage cross-program fertilization to optimize product performance.

Required Experience and Skills

Candidates should possess 0-1 years of experience in a relevant engineering field. The role requires a broad understanding of the complete aircraft structure while executing specialized installation skill sets across the entire vehicle perimeter. Operating as a frontline technical interface between the Global Design Office, Chief Engineering, Quality Assurance, and local Manufacturing operations is essential. The ability to ensure all solutions meet strict Service Level Agreement (SLA) timelines, Airbus Design Principles, and continuous airworthiness mandates is also required.
