CHALLENGE TO CONTRIBUTE TO FUTURE GREEN AVIATION Become part of the change!
The GKN Fokker Elmo Engineering department is looking for an ambitious Engineer who wants to apply his/her strength, interests and ambitions to the development of future Electrical (Wiring) Interconnection Systems for sustainable aircraft.
Functie
As a senior engineer within the EWIS HVHP team, you will be primarily engaged in supporting our hybrid and full-electric customer programs. The objective of these activities is to adequately support our customers during the design phases leading to aircraft certification.
As ‘airborne HVHP systems’ are an uncharted territory, we are looking for entrepreneurial and creative engineers that flourish working in a team. In your personal knowledge base you know about wire harness components preferably in an aerospace/defense environment, are familiar with qualification processes for our industry and last but not least you have a sincere interest in HVHP and its effects in aerospace application. Other tasks and responsibilities that we expect from a Senior HVHP Engineer are:
• Executing trade studies. design optimization studies and multi-physics analysis on complex and groundbreaking solutions;
• Advice on selection and qualification of Components and Constructions;
• Writing technical reports and specifications;
• Creating test plans, test samples and the execution of testing in the inhouse facility;
• Reporting as well as analysis of the multi-physics behaviour of the HVHP products.
You will report to the Engineering Team Lead (ETL) of the EWIS Components & Electronics (ECE) design group within Engineering. This group consists of 15-20 (Senior) Engineers and will grow up to 25-30 before 2024.
Note: The place of work will be at the GKN Fokker Elmo Headquarters in Hoogerheide, The Netherlands and will move in the near future (end of 2023) to Papendrecht, The Netherlands.
