Job Description

External Job Description

The Systems Engineering & Integration role is responsible for the overall technical integration, systems architecture, and certification compliance of turbofan propulsion systems across the full product lifecycle — from concept development through testing, certification, and entry into service.

Acting as the technical bridge between Product Engineering and Product Management, the role ensures propulsion systems meet customer, safety, operational, and regulatory requirements while maintaining system integrity and configuration control throughout development and production.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead systems engineering activities across the full lifecycle of turbofan propulsion systems including concept development, architecture definition, integration, testing, certification, and service entry.
  • Establish and maintain the Systems Engineering framework including SEMP, requirements management, traceability, verification, and validation plans.
  • Ensure complete traceability between customer requirements, regulatory constraints, and subsystem technical requirements.
  • Drive system architecture definition, functional decomposition, and interface management across propulsion subsystems.
  • Lead engine-to-aircraft integration activities in coordination with airframe, installation, and control system teams.
  • Oversee System Safety and RMST (Reliability, Maintainability, Supportability, and Testability) activities with safety and reliability engineering teams.
  • Support certification activities by providing system-level compliance evidence and participating in technical reviews including PDR and CDR.
  • Coordinate with Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and Product Management to ensure technical consistency, integration maturity, and certifiability.
  • Manage system technical baseline, configuration control, documentation, and engineering change management activities.
  • Mentor and support systems engineering teams while promoting engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Participate in customer, partner, and supplier technical coordination activities.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Minimum 18 -28 years of experience in systems engineering within turbofan propulsion, aerospace, or other complex engineering environments.
  • Strong experience in systems integration, requirements management, verification & validation, and certification processes.
  • Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), configuration management, and PLM environments.
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams and coordinate with certification authorities and external stakeholders.
  • Experience with civil and/or military certification frameworks such as EASA, FAA, or EMAR is highly desirable.

Key Skills

  • Strong systems-thinking capability with the ability to balance technical depth and program-level objectives.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities across engineering, certification, and operations functions.
  • Adaptability to fast-paced development environments and evolving programme requirements.
  • Customer-focused mindset with commitment to technical excellence, integration success, and programme delivery.
