Join Airbus in Krakow, Poland as a Mechanical System Installation Senior Engineer in this permanent, full-time Professional role. You will lead the development and integration of power plant system routings, advancing sustainable aviation and next-generation propulsion technologies.

Requirements

  • Education: Master degree in Engineering or equivalent.
  • Experience: Strong and extensive experience (more than 10 years) in mechanical system installation within an airframe component (fuselage, wing, pylon).
  • Technical Skills: Mastery of design tools including CATIA V5, deep knowledge of propulsion environments, and competencies in vibration, thermal, or structure pre-sizing.
  • Language: Advanced English level is mandatory.

Skills & Responsibilities

  • CATIA V5: Develop optimized, robust, and cost-effective mechanical system installation solutions and 3D designs to reduce weight and improve reliability.
  • System Integration: Coordinate multidisciplinary stakeholders to resolve complex system topics, such as ATA36 bleed system constraints across thermo/meca/vibration areas.
  • R&T Leadership: Identify, define, and mature new mechanical system installation techno bricks for future propulsion architectures like Open Fan and hybrid engines.
  • Technical Coordination: Manage sub-contracted activities and ensure strong alignment between plant production, in-service support, project teams, and Chief Engineering.
  • Potential transition routes: People from aerospace mechanical design or propulsion engineering roles may bring strong CAD and systems integration skills, alongside meeting the extensive MSI experience requirement.

Job description

Job Description:

At Airbus, our purpose is to “pioneer sustainable aerospace for a safe & united world”. As a member of the Propulsion Engineering center, you will contribute to the revolution in aviation by designing and integrating the Powerplant System (PPS). This includes responsibility for all system routings from wing to engine-such as bleed, hydraulic, fuel, fire detection & extinguishing-on main structural components like the pylon. The working environment is multidisciplinary and challenging, dealing with complex interfaces (Level 1, Chief engineering, engine manufacturer, nacelle manufacturer).

Our missions are to define the future of propulsion system installation, support production activities, in-service operations, and drive continuous improvements for all commercial programs. This role is vital in advancing the route to decarbonization and preparing for next-generation propulsion systems (e.g., Open Fan, hybrid engines, Fuel Cell architectures)

Key Responsibilities

We are seeking a technical leader to leverage extensive experience in Mechanical System Installation (MSI). Your main mission will be twofold, focusing on strategic development and the resolution of complex fleet challenges:

  • System Development and Optimization:

  • To develop optimized, robust, and cost-effective mechanical system installation solutions (e.g., fuel, hydraulic, bleed, fire systems, drainage). The goal is to reduce weight and costs, improve reliability, performance, manufacturability, and maintainability of pylon system installation.

  • To lead the activity related to the implementation of these solutions on the aircraft, covering both the existing fleet and the next generation propulsion systems of future aircraft.

  • Strategic Technology Leadership (R&T):

  • To actively contribute to the identification, definition, and maturation of new MSI "techno bricks" (e.g., new design principles, routing concepts, integration solutions) relevant for future propulsion architectures.

  • To support Technology Leaders in preparing and contributing to design studies and Technology Readiness Level (TRL) reviews.

  • Complex Issue Resolution and Coordination:

  • To lead and resolve complex system topics, such as those associated with ATA36 (bleed system), which involve highly challenging thermo/meca/vibration/installation constraints. This includes defining design solutions (3D, drawings, concessions, repairs).

  • To ensure strong coordination of all stakeholders, including plant production, in-service support, project teams, R&T, and Chief Engineering.

The Ideal Profile

We are looking for a highly motivated, experienced engineer who will be a vector of integration for the Airframe System organization within Propulsion
