Job description
This role exists to ensure that the electromechanical product designs, processes and procedures, are applied robustly across the Engineering Department. This role requires that the correct support, guidance and technical oversight is applied, to ensure that the designs of our Generators, Motors and associated product lines are fit for purpose, of a high quality, cost efficient and are developed with a ‘Right First Time' approach, to ensure we meet the needs of the business and its customers.
In addition, the role holder is required to provide specialist mechanical engineering guidance and leadership, as an internal company specialist, to support the solving of complex engineering problems. • Primary responsibility is for the technical (electromechanical) definition and steering of R&D / R&T projects by ensuring that the design is technically robust, safe and fit for purpose.This role exists to ensure that the electromechanical product designs, processes and procedures, are applied robustly across the Engineering Department.

• Planning of engineering design investigation activities, designed to remove risk and develop mature products or technical concepts. The role will involve both new technology, and improvements to existing technology, where unique or unusually complex problems need to be resolved.
• Support the interpretation of customer and internal technical requirements, against which robust electromechanical solutions can be developed and validated. He or she will need to verify these mechanical solutions by applying the most suitable combination of design, calculation, analysis and validation testing.
• Will provide independent specialist technical support and act as a Peer Reviewer for projects.
• Mentoring and leadership of less experienced engineers to help them in engineering decisions across all relevant projects.
• Authoring, reviewing, and approving engineering documentation across Engineering and Through Life Support.
• Support of, and adherence to, monthly Safran engineering KPI processes and contribution to engineering budget (short & long term).
• Formal and informal training, of less experienced personnel, will be required to ensure continual technical skills growth is discernible within the team.
• Able to provide technical leadership and direction for Root Cause Analysis (RCA), in the event of Product Integrity issues and their potential effect on Airworthiness.
