Job Description:

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for an Systems Installation (ESI / MSI) Liaison / MRB Engineer to join our Engineering department based in Mobile, AL.

The A320 Family Mechanical & Electrical Systems Installation (MSI/ESI) MAP Engineer is a highly technical, operational design engineering role dedicated to the direct technical execution, validation, and engineering authorization of solutions for aircraft systems installations and non-conformities. Reporting directly to the A320 Family MAP Systems Installation Team Manager, the jobholder drives the technical resolution of shop floor non-conformities and concessions originated during the A320 Family Final Assembly Line (FAL) manufacturing process across all relevant ATA chapters.

The core focus of this role is the rapid, high-quality technical execution of Electrical System Installation (ESI) and Mechanical System Installation (MSI) fixes. This role covers the full airframe, demanding a broad understanding of the complete aircraft structure while executing the same highly specialized installation skill sets across the entire vehicle perimeter. Operating as a frontline technical interface between the Global Design Office, Chief Engineering, Quality Assurance, and local Manufacturing operations, the jobholder ensures all solutions meet strict Service Level Agreement (SLA) timelines, Airbus Design Principles, and continuous airworthiness mandates. In addition to core installation activities, this role is uniquely positioned to provide cross-functional support to Airframe deliverables.

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 flightlines. Join our team and watch our aircraft come to life.

  • Justification & Release: Author and authorize technical solutions and justification reports for repairs, rework, or troubleshooting instructions within the ESI and MSI perimeters. Standard instructions are approved autonomously, while major reworks are coordinated through transnational engineering departments.
  • Airworthiness Accountability: Secure compliance with Aircraft Safety and continuous Airworthiness standards across all domain-specific MAP engineering activities.
  • Transnational Integration & Frontline Liaison: Act as a critical functional interface between the A320 Family Chief Engineer/Design Office, local Manufacturing execution, and Quality Assurance departments.

  • Broad Airframe MSI & ESI Design Expertise: In-depth knowledge of aircraft electrical, mechanical, and bracket design, installation definition, equipment installation, and full-airframe structural integration.
