Cabin Design Engineer
The Cabin Design Engineer supports the development, customization, and continuous evolution of aircraft cabin and cargo interiors/payloads for airline customers. Working under general direction at an intermediate to advanced professional level, the engineer autonomously performs routine to moderate levels of engineering design, analysis, and data integration from initial conceptual phase to final product installation.
Key responsibilities are balanced across evaluating supplier 3D/2D design solutions, managing part number steering and configuration data within complex databases, troubleshooting installation issues at the Final Assembly Line (FAL), tracking critical supplier engineering deliverables, and authoring customized specifications to meet airline requirements.
Our Engineers have the privilege of working on complex, highly engineered machines and are involved at all stages of the aircraft life cycle, from product development to manufacturing and direct support to our airline customers. If you're interested in designing, creating, and testing the present and future of Airbus products across the globe, join our mission to connect the world.
The Engineering Center in Mobile, Alabama houses hundreds of Airbus engineers who assist in the design and development of Airbus commercial aircraft cabins, including aftermarket upgrades, reconfigurations and services of all product types across the globe.
Your challenges:
- Design Integration & Maturation:
Autonomously perform routine to moderate levels of design solution development, layout maturation, and spatial integration using 3D modeling software. Assignments include detailed part integration, clearance/clash analysis, and trade study evaluations. - Configuration & Part Number Steering:
Manage and steer part numbers (PNs) and Bill of Materials (BOM) within PLM tools to ensure correct technical effectivity, interchangeability, and configuration tracking across product variants under general direction. - Compliance & Certification Review:
Review, evaluate, and secure engineering compliance documents from suppliers to support airworthiness approval. This includes checking Certification Plans, Test Plans, Test Reports, and Declarations of Design and Performance (DDP) for technical accuracy and alignment with program requirements. - FAL & Manufacturing Support:
Provide real-time engineering support and troubleshooting for routine to moderate physical and systems integration issues discovered on the shop floor or at the Final Assembly Line (FAL). Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to resolve installation non-conformances.
