- Coordinate all activities related to test rig definition, design, build, commissioning and test amongst the various functions within Bombardier Aerospace Experimental (BAEX)
- Review and approve testing deliverables from Program Suppliers with inputs from BAEX Design and Test teams
- Prepare harmonized schedules for BAEX testing, prepare presentations and provide status/updates on overall activities, schedules, issues and roadblocks to the Project Management Office and Senior Leadership Teams.
As a Flight Test Outfitting Integrator, you will be asked to:
- Represent the Bombardier Aerospace Experimental (BAEX) organization as a member of the Integrated Product Development Team (IPDT) for new aircraft programs
- Coordinate and/or participate in the review, release and implementation of Flight Test Technical Requirements Documents (TRDs) and the development of Schedules & Estimates for Flight Test outfitting tasks
- Prepare and ensure "Compliance to Work Share" statements with suppliers for flight test equipment installations during aircraft design and build phases
- Integrate, coordinate, and manage the release of Flight Test Engineering installations and supplier interface drawings that are required to support the build of flight test vehicles (FTV)
- Provide assistance and guidance in resolving technical and contractual issues between BAEX, Bombardier Core Engineering, and Suppliers
- Coordinate with other parties to ensure compatibility of design and test requirements
- Assist in ensuring accurate records with respect to configuration control and traceability of documentation as per Experimental requirements and procedures
- Schedule, assign, monitor and provide status/visibility for all tasks related to the experimental equipment outfitting activity of new aircraft development
- Establish or improve existing BAEX procedures and guidelines to ensure efficient operation of the department within Bombardier, as well as involvement in developing new procedures necessary in coordinating activities with outside Suppliers.
As a Test Integrator (supporting Simulation and Test Work Package (WP7) for a new Aircraft Program), you will be asked to:
- Provide technical leadership to WP7 team that manages the experimental and testing performed by the Structural and System WP units
- Provide technical guidance to WP7 Integrators and Supplier's Test organization for ground and flight test, with respect to FTV outfitting, test rig experimental installations and test facility planning.
- Recognize and understand the design and build functions within all Bombardier sites
- Be able to formulate integrated and cost effective solutions for complex problems involving experimental design and build requirements
- Perform as a technical authority in the field of experimental test build requirements
- Recognize the implications of experimental activities on other product development functions and be able to devise timely and efficient solutions in the most effective way.
- Propose solutions to both recurring and unusual problems, based on "lesson learned" experience.
- Identify and establish the procedures applicable to the assigned development program, enact risk identification and mitigations procedures, modify established guidelines, devise new approaches, apply existing criteria in new manners, and draw conclusions from direct experience in order to improve efficiency.
- Make technical recommendations that are generally accepted as accurate, cost effective, timely, and feasible.
