Technical Specialist Draftsman - Engineering

Job description / Role

Job Description

The Engineering Projects department specializes in evaluating, specifying, and negotiating new and used aircraft acquisitions. We oversee the entire process, from initial evaluation and assembly inspection to final delivery and acceptance.

We develop detailed specifications for aircraft and new system installations, including Passenger Entertainment and Connectivity Services (IFE) and Cabin Interiors. Our team ensures that all regulatory requirements, safety standards, functionality, and maintainability are met for each aircraft's entry into service.

Role Overview

As a Technical Specialist Draftsman, you will provide visual representations of cabin configurations for use by engineers to manage the design of new or changed cabin interiors, through the use of Pace Lab Ad, AutoCAD, and relevant engineering design software. You will proactively participate in the exploration and development of new work processes, using new IT tools and digital data as appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

• Initiate, compile, and analyze data in digital format for engineers during the course of aircraft equipment evaluations. Assist engineers in the processing of product technical specifications, product presentations, evaluation reports, and finalization.
• Assist engineers in data compilation during the course of specification evaluation and process various features and options related to aircraft and equipment. Conduct engineering studies and approach problem-solving through data collection, performing field studies, and generating visual aids that include technical drawings.
• Familiarize yourself with various aircraft technical documentation such as drawings, integrated parts catalogues, and component maintenance manuals, in order to research technical information.
• Translate ideas into aircraft cabin floor plans of interior arrangement by providing 2D and 3D presentations using AutoCAD or any other engineering design software.
• Develop the capability of engineering projects in 3D presentations by creating 3D models of cabin furnishings and equipment that relate to the fleet. Be able to generate 3D layouts of passenger accommodation (LOPAs) from the use of these models. Provide LOPA design changes in AutoCAD, Pace Lab, and 3D software as necessary.
• Develop concepts and methods to improve process and information efficiency within the project group in order to deal with the expansion of fleet types and increase in the number of aircraft. In addition, explore ways to exploit the use of manufacturers' data.
• Build and maintain templates of LOPA databases of cabin interior elements that are used on the existing fleet using relevant engineering design software in order to assist with future aircraft specifications.
• Individually handle any assigned project and follow up until successful completion, and carry out engineering procedures manual updates.

Qualifications & Experience

To be considered for this role, you must meet the below requirements:

• Experience of 5+ years in engineering projects.
• Bachelor's degree or honours in engineering, aviation, or architecture.
• Experience in engineering projects or technical services.
• Sound knowledge of computer systems and software such as AutoCAD, CATIA, Unigraphics, SolidWorks, and other similar engineering design software with skills in design drafting, design development, alteration, and optimization in 2D & 3D rendering, including understanding and ability in 3D printing.
• Aviation, aircraft maintenance documentation, and technical data including drafting.
• Ability to understand aircraft systems, components, and powerplant with sound knowledge of aircraft drawing.
