Aircraft Performance Engineer for On-Board applications

Job Description:

Description of the job
 

Aircraft Performance is at the heart of our Aeronautic industry. It is one of the key criteria for an airline to decide to buy an aircraft. Performance is involved from the design phase to the end of aircraft life. With a constant focus on safety, our role is to improve aircraft and associated services efficiency in order to keep pleasing our customers. 

You are looking for great challenges? Airbus Engineering Aircraft Performance team is the ideal place to put your talent and ambition building the future together with passionate people.

We are aeronautical engineers, developers and innovators. We are curious and open minded. We work by encompassing a high collaborative spirit, open discussion culture and empowerment of our teams. We care for value driven leadership and support flexible working environments. We nurture and enjoy our multidisciplinary environment.

Our In-Flight Performance and Operations subdomain is responsible for:

• Modeling and Evaluating the aircraft operational performance

• Analyzing and simulating the aircraft mission and its environment

• Acting as reference for data driven operational performance analysis

• Proposing and developing technical and operational solutions, including services

in order to influence and optimize the aircraft design, optimize the flight operations, enhance the safety of operations, and provide in-service support to the Airlines and other aeronautical stakeholders.

Today, the In-Flight Performance and Operations subdomain is looking for an On-board Performance Applications Engineer.

The location of the role could be either Getafe - Spain or Toulouse - France.

The On-Board Performance applications teams take Aircraft Performance into the cockpit, to optimize the flight and to enhance safety !

We are responsible for developing, generating and delivering aircraft performance models and algorithms that will be used by flight crews when they are operating the aircraft.

Furthermore, we are analysing In-Service Flight Data to better understand flight operations, to evaluate how our On-Board functions are working in operations and to propose On-Board functions enhancement.

Our mission is at the crossroads of Aircraft Performance, Flight Operations and System Integration.

On-Board Performance Applications team is working on a lot of functions embedded into the cockpit, and used by the pilot to optimize the flight and to enhance the operations’ safety, such as:

• Decision Help

  • Flight Management System (FMS)

  • Continuous Descent Approach (CDA)

• Optimized Operations

  • Descent Profile Optimisation (DPO)

  • Runway Occupancy Time (ROT)

  • Autoderate

  • 4D

• Safety Enhancement

  • Performance data for Aircraft Environment Surveillance System (TAWS)

  • Braking Action Computation Function (BACF)

  • Take-Off Securing (TOS)

  • Take-Off Monitoring (TOM)

  • Runway Overrun Protection System (ROPS)

  • APProach Stabilization Monitor (APPSM)

  • Fuel Penalty Monitoring Function (FPMF)

  • Soft Go-Around (SGA)

• Future Capabilities for On-Board Performance

Tasks & accountabilities

The main missions for this position will be to:    

• Contribute to design and improvement of On-Board performance functions

• Elaborate and validate Surrogate performance model

• Support development by providing appropriate data and models for system implementation

• Achieve V&V activities to validate performance functions and data implementation, including laboratory test and analysis

• Contribute to digital transformation, including tasks and tools automation

• In-Service data analysis

This mission implies close collaboration with other teams such as Low Speed & High Speed performance teams, Functions and Systems, Test teams (lab and flight), Customer Support...

Required skills (mandatory in bold)

- Degree in aeronautical engineering / mechanical engineering (or equivalent),  

- Good knowledge of Aircraft flight physics

- Knowledge of Flight and Cockpit Operations and/or Aircraft Systems

- Competences in IT (scripting, python…) and surrogate modeling

You are open minded with high focus on team spirit and collaboration

Pro-activity, adaptability and dynamism are key for this position as well as  good communication skills.

Advanced level in English and more than 3 years of professional experiences are required.

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.
