Flight Operations Engineer

You have experience in aviation, you have worked in an operational domain, and would you like to progress and develop new skills? Then this job is for you!

The A220 commercial aircraft Programme is looking for a flight operations engineer to join our A220 Flight Operations Support and Training Standards team based in Mirabel (Québec, Canada), where you will work closely with pilots, simulator instructors, and airline operations engineers, while also collaborating with several other Airbus departments, such as flight testing, crew training, engineering, safety, design office, and support and assistance programs.

You will be part of the Flight Operations team which develops the necessary data to ensure that pilots and airline operations engineers can operate safely and efficiently.

The team organization is established to promote cross-collaboration autonomously, supporting each other and learning collectively.

Your role as Flight operations engineer will involve updating operational documentation for crew members and maintaining direct contact with customers to provide ongoing support. Create or modify operational documentation for pilots (FCOM, AFM, FCTM, MMEL/CDL, QRH), either for continuous improvement or to integrate new upgrades.

Your working environment: The A220 commercial aircraft Programme is headquartered in Mirabel, in the greater Montreal area, where the vibrant city of Montreal is just a stone’s throw away.

How we care for you:

• Financial rewards: Attractive salary, annual bonus, group insurance plan, pension plan, and share purchase plan.

• Work / Life Balance: A hybrid working policy (based on operational needs), on-site cafeterias, and a highly competitive holiday policy.

• Wellbeing/Health: Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Discount Program, on-site Medical Service, access to a public shuttle service between Laval (Montmorency metro station) and Mirabel, and a carpooling application.

• Individual development: Great upskilling opportunities and development prospects with unlimited access to +10,000 e-learning courses to develop your employability, certifications, accelerated development programmes, national and international mobility.

At Airbus, we help you work, connect, and collaborate more easily and flexibly. Wherever possible, we foster flexibility in our ways of working to stimulate the spirit of innovation.

Your challenges:

• Ensure the update of operational documentation for crews and maintain direct contact with customers to provide support.

• Bring operational experience and support to airworthiness authorities.

• Conduct technical studies on a range of ATA systems (with regular updates), particularly in collaboration with the engineering and support department.

• Define normal or abnormal procedures for flight crews in coordination with other stakeholders.

• Prepare support documentation for airworthiness authorities (EASA, FAA, TCCA) under the supervision of a CVE/DAD to justify modifications to certified/approved manuals (AFM/MMEL).

• Study the conditions for issuing MMEL or deviations to propose recommendations to the crew and alternative procedures.

• Use Airbus aircraft configuration criteria to provide tailored content to operators.

• Support operators, in coordination with technical support.

• Respond to operators' questions on technical issues related to aerial operations.

• Plan and present topics related to aerial operations at seminars.

• Visit airlines and perform observation flights to improve their operations.

Your boarding pass:

• Engineering degree or Master’s in Aeronautical Sciences, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanics, Transportation Systems, Embedded Systems, or a related field.

• Knowledge of international and local aviation regulations (e.g., ICAO, EASA, FAA, etc.) is a plus.

• Strong communication skills and teamwork.

• Experience in the aerospace industry.

• Ability to work under pressure.
