À propos de ce poste Senior Aircraft Systems Integrator chez JetZero
What is JetZero?
Today’s aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars. This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.
JetZero is developing a blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft. It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion. JetZero is the inevitable solution to sustainable air travel.
The JetZero Team
We are experienced aerospace professionals and engineers, excited about the future. That future will only be possible if we share our vision and what it means to people’s lives: carbon-free flight that' is better for both passengers and airlines around the world.
The Senior Aircraft Systems Integrator will lead the technical integration of aircraft systems across laboratories, ground test environments, and the Demonstrator aircraft. This role serves as the critical bridge between individual system teams, test and laboratory organizations, safety engineering, and aircraft integration activities to ensure a cohesive and executable path from system development through aircraft-level verification.
The successful candidate will work across disciplines to define integration strategies, identify inter-system dependencies, establish verification and test sequencing, and validate aircraft-level assumptions related to installation, environmental conditions, interfaces, and operational scenarios. This position plays a key role in reducing integration risk and ensuring aircraft readiness for test and flight operations.
What You'll Do:
- Lead cross-functional aircraft integration across avionics, flight controls, propulsion, electrical power, hydraulics, ECS, structures, and supporting subsystems.
- Own aircraft-level interfaces, dependencies, conflicts, and technical issue resolution throughout design and integration.
- Develop integrated verification and test strategies spanning system development, laboratories, aircraft integration, and flight test.
- Define verification sequencing, integration milestones, test objectives, success criteria, and readiness for major events.
- Connect development labs, integration facilities, and the Demonstrator while ensuring representative configurations and environments.
- Plan phased integration and risk-reduction activities before aircraft installation.
- Validate aircraft-level assumptions for environmental conditions, installation effects, system interactions, operational scenarios, failure propagation, and functionality.
- Coordinate with Safety Engineering on hazards, safety assessments, concern closure, and evidence of operational readiness.
- Identify integration risks, critical-path dependencies, and readiness criteria; lead technical reviews and communicate status and mitigation plans to program leadership.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
- 10+ years of aerospace engineering experience with aircraft development, integration, testing, or certification programs.
- Demonstrated experience working across multiple aircraft systems and engineering disciplines.
- Experience defining and executing integrated test or verification strategies.
- Strong understanding of aircraft development lifecycles from design through flight test.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Experience with laboratory integration environments, iron bird testing, or hardware/software integration.
- Knowledge of verification and validation planning.
- Experience supporting aircraft safety assessments, FHA, PSSA, SSA, or equivalent activities.
- Experience supporting flight test programs and aircraft integration campaigns.
- Previous experience on experimental, demonstrator, military, or commercial aircraft development programs.
