  • System Development: Manage the end-to-end component/equipment development process for assigned aircraft, ensuring alignment with all internal and external (regulatory) requirements

  • Technical Management: Lead the definition of system functions and internal interfaces, ensuring seamless connection between the ADS and other helicopter systems.

  • Supplier & Trade-Off Management: Select, manage, and oversee technical activities of external suppliers. Conduct detailed trade-off studies to recommend the most optimal technical solution for the aircraft.

  • Testing & Certification: Plan and execute necessary ground and flight tests. Prepare required documentation and actively support the certification process to obtain final equipment approval from aviation authorities.

  • Future Technology Assessment: Assess and prototype new technologies—including systems based on video, acoustic, or radiofrequency—to define the roadmap for the next generation of ADS

  • In-Service Support: Provide essential technical support during the production phase and for any in-service issues related to the ADS equipment

  • Maintenance strategy: Contribute to the definition and planning of the equipment maintenance concept.

  • Experience: Proven experience in the development of electronic equipment for aeronautical/avionics applications.

  • Specific Technical Knowledge: Solid working knowledge of Air Data sensing and processing (e.g., Pitot probes, static ports) and positioning systems (e.g., inertial reference systems, GPS).

Skills & Attributes

  • Communication: Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills with a demonstrated ability to influence and convince stakeholders at all organizational levels.

  • Languages: Negotiation-level proficiency in English (oral and written) is mandatory. Knowledge of French is a significant plus.
