Handling Qualities Engineer (fm)

Job Description:

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for a Handling Qualities Engineer (f/m) to join our Stability & Control Team based in Toulouse France.

You will be part of a team that throughout the aircrafts life cycle acts as an integrator between the Aerodynamics Performance Loads and Modelling domains as well as with the various aircraft systems including engines and landing gear to ensure that the aircrafts Handling Qualities meet the required standards.

All along the aircraft (A/C) life Handling Qualities (HQ) team plays an integrator role between flight physics and systems/Engine/Landing Gear which can be summarized through 3 main activities:

1. A/C control surfaces sizing and validation/verification to ensure the A/C manoeuvrability and stability requirements
2. Flight domain definition and V&V (minimum speeds angle of attack protection settings weight/CG etc.) in strong relation with cockpit systems and with operational people (customer support flight test)
3. Failure cases analysis - ensuring that the consequence of any failure case on A/C control is in accordance with its probability of occurrence.

If you are not already familiar with Handling Qualities or still need to learn a network of experts and technical referents will ensure your technical development through a learning path adapted to your profile.
You will have the opportunity to develop strong working relationships with colleagues from various teams (A/C programs Aircraft systems Flight test lab/simulator test Flight Physics Customer support Product Safety etc.).

Depending on your aspirations and your profile there will be the opportunity to evolve and develop your leadership within the team and within the group through the treatment of multi-program topics or by switching to product leader or work package leader positions or through the architect development path.

Being an integrator job Handling Qualities is as well a valuable step for integrating architect paths.

Your challenges
Checking aircraft and actuator sizing for HQ needs
Defining flight domain where aircraft safety comfort and reliability is guaranteed (definition of speed angle of attack sideslip domains and procedure in case of failure cases)
Analysing the consequences of any system failure on aircraft Stability and control
Analysing in-service events and system behaviour during these events
Preparing performing and following up simulator tests and flight tests requests necessary to validate those studies.

Your boarding pass
- Degree in aeronautical engineering / mechanical engineering (or equivalent)
- Flight Dynamics knowledge
- Test and/or Flight Physics knowledge

- Knowledge in Automatic control of system Control feedback loop is a plus
- Knowledge in Control simulation tools : Matlab Simulink ...
- High interest in digitalisation (big data etc.) would be a strong plus
- Aircraft systems knowledge would be a plus
- Advanced level of English and French.

This position requires a security clearance or will require being eligible for clearance by the recognized authorities.
