Job description

·  Description of the Job

Integrated into the Engineering Direction of Safran Electronics and Defense as a Lead System Engineer, you will be responsible for the development of mechnical systems and equipment over the whole V cycle.

You will work in coordination with the internal project manager and in close collaboration with the local development engineers. In this role, you will be responsible for the definition of the requirements, the definition of the product architecture, the design, the implementation, and the integration of product functions, and finally the formal verification of system requirements.

·  Key Responsibilities

Requirements Management

• Lead elicitation, definition, and management of system and mechanical requirements (functional, performance, environmental, safety).

• Decompose aircraft/system-level requirements into mechanical subsystem and component requirements.

• Maintain end-to-end traceability: stakeholder system subsystem design verification.

• Own requirements baselines, change control, and impact analysis in line with program configuration management.

• Ensure requirements are clear, compliant, testable, and certifiable.

Aerospace Systems Engineering

• Apply V-Model systems engineering across concept, development, integration, and certification phases.

• Allocate requirements to structures, mechanisms, actuation, thermal, and installation domains.

• Support trade studies, margins management, and requirement rationalization.

• Participate in SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and certification reviews from a requirements standpoint.

Interfaces & Configuration

• Define and control mechanical interfaces (loads, stiffness, tolerances, envelopes, mass properties).

• Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs).

• Coordinate with configuration management to ensure requirements alignment with design maturity.

Verification, Validation & Certification

• Define verification methods (Analysis, Test, Similarity).

• Link requirements to verification plans, procedures, and reports.

• Support compliance and certification activities with authorities (EASA / FAA / MoD as applicable).

• Ensure alignment with safety, airworthiness, and reliability requirements.

Cross-Functional & Supplier Collaboration

• Act as the focal point for requirements with design, performance, stress, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and test teams.

• Support supplier requirement flow-down, compliance tracking, and technical reviews.

Candidate skills & requirements

·  Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.

• 3+ years experience in aerospace systems or mechanical engineering.

• Proven experience in requirements management for aerospace programs.

• Strong knowledge of systems engineering processes and V-Model.

• Hands-on experience with requirements tools (IBM DOORS or similar).

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Experience with large systems having multiple mechanical units.

• Familiarity with aerospace standards:

o ARP4754A / ARP4761

o DO-160, CS-25 / FAR-25 (or equivalent)

o AS9100

• Exposure to MBSE / SysML (Cameo, Rhapsody).

• Working knowledge of hydro/electro-mechanical systems

• Experience supporting certification and compliance documentation.
