Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for an Airframe MRB / Liaison Engineer to join the Engineering department based in Mobile, AL. The A320 Family MAP Structures Design Engineer is a highly technical, operational role responsible for the development, justification, and engineering approval of design solutions related to aircraft primary and secondary structure non-conformities. The role operates within the Final Assembly Line (FAL), flight line, and delivery center, serving as a critical interface on the shop floor between local manufacturing operations and the transnational Airbus Design Offices and Chief Engineering networks.

The core mission is to deliver immediate, high-quality, and structurally sound engineering design solutions to keep production moving while ensuring aircraft safety and continued airworthiness. The scope covers metallic and composite airframe structures across relevant ATA chapters, ensuring shop floor deviations, damages, and concessions are resolved or mitigated according to design principles.
