The Super Puma aircraft is making a strong comeback on the civil and military market. This results in the signature of new contracts. Each customer has very specific needs which requires design changes to be certified.

The mission of the Certification and Qualification Engineer is mainly to lead the compliance demonstration to the applicable airworthiness requirements (FAR29/JAR29/CS29) for each new design. In the frame of contracts, he/she needs to organise the justification to the customer contractual requirements.

Finally CQE is the main interface towards Airworthiness Authorities (civil and military) notably for major modifications.

The position of this offer covers certification and qualification activities of contracts from simple to medium complexity. This concerns cases where customer selects an aircraft configuration quite standard which only requires few design changes and with no or few contractual requirements. However whatever the contract complexity, the process of certification, flight clearance and final qualification is the same.

Each project involves various contributors (Chief Engineering, System Design Responsibles, experts, customer support,  flight tests pilots & engineers, ..). As Super Puma CQE in charge of the contract, you will have the opportunity to work on a large variety of topics on this highly equipped aircraft. This diversity will allow you to discover several technical domains as well as the full qualification process of an aircraft.

You will have to understand all the aspects of each modification project (technical content, configuration) you are managing in order to be able to establish the related certification program.
