A320 Aircraft Systems Engineer III

Location: Al Qaţīf

Job Description Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for an Aircraft Systems Engineer to join our Engineering department based in Mobile, AL. The A320 Family MAP Systems Engineer is a highly technical, operational role responsible for the development, justification, and engineering approval of design solutions related to aircraft systems non-conformities. Operating directly within the fast-paced environment of the Final Assembly Line (FAL), flight line, and delivery center, the jobholder acts as a primary technical interface between local manufacturing operations and the transnational Airbus Design Offices and Chief Engineering networks.

The core of this role is to deliver timely, high-quality, and structurally sound engineering solutions executing and performing live on-aircraft troubleshooting, meticulously assessing test data, and delivering timely, high-quality, and structurally sound engineering solutions to keep production moving without compromising aircraft safety or continued airworthiness.

The scope of accountability demands covering full aircraft systems including engines and APU, ensuring all corrective actions satisfy strict internal guidelines, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), customer expectations, and global regulatory frameworks.

Operational Optimization & Milestone Gates:
Formulate and approve real-time technical solutions for systems non-conformities (NCs or ALBs) discovered during assembly, ground testing, and production flights. Ensure engineering deliverables strictly satisfy the timelines and quality thresholds established in site Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Transnational Alignment & Technical Authority:
Act by formal engineering delegation in the name of the Airbus Chief Engineering and Systems Center of Competence. Coordinate regularly with overseas engineering domains to resolve complex, non-standard system malfunctions where previous data or instructions are unknown.

Aircraft Flight Line Readiness & Test Integration:
Provide hands-on systems engineering support across the entire manufacturing perimeter, from initial section delivery to the final ferry flight. Deliver definitive technical explanations to the Flight Test Department and handle direct technical presentations for internal or external customers.

Engineering System Governance & Quality Compliance:
Create, validate, and authorize design corrective actions, drawing updates, temporary aircraft definitions (special instructions), and concessions. Maintain absolute accountability for the safety and compliance of released data in front of the corresponding design offices and international aeronautical authorities (EASA/FAA).

Meet the team Our Engineers at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing facility take our aircraft from concept to customer delivery - working with production teams on every aspect of assembly from managing technical information, quality control, maintenance tasks and health & safety - along flowlines and flight lines. Join our team and watch our aircraft come to life.

Your working environment Nearby on 'Airbus Way' you will find the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility for commercial aircraft. Opened at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley in 2015, the facility produces A320 Family aircraft and added a second product line for the A220 in 2019. The facility, which strengthens the U.S. aerospace industry, is part of Airbus' strategy to enhance its global competitiveness by meeting the growing needs of its customers in the United States and beyond.
