Combat Fuel, Inerting and Fire Protection Systems Engineer

Job Description:

Our team holds the responsibility on Fuel, Inerting and Fire Protection Systems of our legacy and under-development military platforms (e.g., A400M, C295, Eurofighter, MRTT, EuroDrone, FCAS NGFD & RC, SiRTAP). Along with them, Research, Technology and Development remain a core obligation to sustain, improve and evolve our current portfolio of products as well as our future developments.

The responsibility of our team spans through the complete life cycle of our systems, from earliest conceptual steps to continuous development and in-service fleet support, under all Systems Engineering stages. Thus system conceptual definition, detailed physical design, performance analysis, functional breakdown and implementation in control and monitoring architectures, systems certification and qualification, testing, requirements validation and verification, data reduction and analysis, maintenance and operational concepts - all of them are our tasks.

These activities need usually to be performed with a holistic mindset in their relationship with other sister, supplier and higher level (“system of systems”) instances, highly integrated with other stakeholders from which (and to whom) demands need to be accounted for.

Finally, in the current context of transformation and digitalization, skilful applicants are expected to be fluent and familiar with typical Systems Engineering processes and methods, notably MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineering).
