- Strong understanding of Qualification & Certification processes and aerospace legislation.
- Experience of Verification & Validation, Integration and Requirements Management.
- Proven capability in developing and reviewing technical specifications at equipment and system level.
- Experience with DOORS, Polarion or similar requirements management tools.
- Knowledge of ARP4754A, ARP4761 and CS-25 certification requirements.
- Background in complex aircraft systems, ideally involving Landing Gear, Flight Controls, Actuation, Hydraulics or related disciplines.
What We’re Looking For
We are interested in speaking with engineers who combine strong technical expertise with the ability to influence stakeholders, solve complex systems challenges and support the delivery of high-profile aerospace programmes.
While Landing Gear experience is highly desirable, applications are welcomed from engineers with broader aircraft systems backgrounds who can demonstrate expertise across the systems engineering lifecycle.
Degree qualified in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline. Chartered Engineer status is advantageous.
Join Akkodis and work on some of the aerospace industry’s most challenging and innovative programmes, helping to shape the future of aviation.
