Are you ready to pioneer the next generation of aircraft passenger experiences? As a Project Management for Cabin Innovation & Integration , you’ll bridge the gap between breakthrough concepts and real-world aviation. Operating at the cutting edge of aerospace technology, you will transform Proof-of-Concept prototypes into fully industrialized cabin systems, integrating your solutions into state-of-the-art platforms like Cabin Mock ups or Test Aircrafts. From hands-on rapid prototyping to conducting technical assessments against rigorous airworthiness standards (ABD-100, DO-160), you will play a hands-on role in defining how millions of passengers experience air travel.

This role offers a unique mix of high-impact technical ownership and project management. Working closely with world-class project teams, certification specialists, and international engineering networks, you will serve as the technical engine driving cabin capability forward. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where fast learning, rapid prototyping, and end-to-end project ownership are celebrated, this is your opportunity to build local engineering capabilities while leaving a lasting mark on global commercial aviation.

Role Overview

The role will analyze, develop, and integrate cutting-edge cabin technologies into aircraft environments. Bridging the gap between Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and full industrialization, the candidate will lead innovation projects, manage rapid prototyping, and work closely with global engineering communities, flight test teams, and certification experts.

  • Collaborate with internal/external project partners, certification specialists, and flight test teams.
  • Regularly document progress and deliver technical reporting & requirements to key stakeholders.

3. Strategic Capability Building

  • CAD software for technical design and spatial integration.
  • Familiarity with aviation standards (ABD-100, DO-160, or equivalent airworthiness codes).
  • Proficiency in standard productivity suites (MS Office / Google Workspace).

Core Competencies

  • Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Quick learner with a strong analytical mindset and a passion for emerging technologies.
  • Ownership & Execution: Highly proactive, results-oriented, and persistent in tackling technical challenges.
  • Communication: Proven ability to present complex technical drawings, specifications, and project statuses clearly.
  • Collaboration: Strong team player capable of working seamlessly across cross-functional and international teams.
