We have an exciting opportunity for an Engineering Technical Expert in the role of Chief Architect, Aircraft Systems for the Eco Jet blended wing body (BWB) research project. As a technical leader within the Research & Technology / Aircraft System Architecture Development & Integration team you will have aircraft-level responsibility to define, coordinate and oversee all activities relating to the aircraft systems aspects for this innovative aircraft research project.

The Chief Architect, Aircraft Systems is the primary focal point for systems-centered aircraft-level architecture development, trade studies, and technology integration. This role, working in close collaboration with the Chief Architect Aircraft Configuration, the Chief Architect Aircraft Structure, and with project management, combines systems thinking, technical leadership, integration stewardship, technology developement, and decision leadership. Its mandate is to drive the development of an integrated and optimized aircraft systems architecture, incorporating emerging technologies as needed, that supports the Eco Jet objectives for sustainability, passenger safety, performance and operational capability.

• Frame and lead the overall development of aircraft-level system architectures, concepts and solutions - and their associated requirements - that best respond to technical and program management needs.
• Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and systems thinking approach to plan, architect, and develop aircraft systems solutions.
• Organize and drive aircraft-level systems-centric trade studies to support the development of aircraft architecture and configurations.
• Ensure that safety and certification considerations influence concept exploration and architecture definition from the earliest stages.
• Establish and govern critical interfaces across systems, disciplines, demonstrators, suppliers, and partner organizations.
• Maintain an authoritative and traceable definition of system architecture baseline and variants across requirements, models, interfaces, decisions, analyses, and demonstration results.
• Communicate aircraft system architecture, its key decisions, and supporting activities clearly to technical teams, project leadership, and research partners.
• Develop, execute, and oversee aircraft systems technology maturity plans, including application of a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) approach, to ensure that technology development closes specific aircraft-level knowledge gaps and meets aircraft configuration needs.
• Influence the technical direction of R&T program activities supporting all systems systems-related BWB activities.
• Maintain alignment between aircraft concept, systems architecture, technology roadmaps and demonstration strategy.
• Lead aircraft-level validation and verification activities from the definition to the execution including the associated documentation.

• You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace or…
