Aircraft Modification Cabin Interior Certification

In the frame of our Design Organisation Approval (SABENA TECHNICS BGC DOA Part 21J.039), the Aircraft Modification division is looking for a Senior Aircraft Modification Cabin Safety Certification Engineer. SABENA TECHNICS BGC DOA is a leader on Aircraft Retrofit market, developing approximately 10 Supplemental Type Certificate & 100 Minor Modifications each year. We offer to air transport operators a wide range of aircraft & rotorcraft modification, in the Cabin/Avionics/Structure disciplines.

Holder of design and production approvals (DOA and POA), this division is responsible for engineering activities, the elaboration of certification dossiers, the monitoring and management of equipment / suppliers, but also the integration of modification and airworthiness monitoring.

As an Aircraft Modification Cabin Safety Certification Senior Engineer, you will be in charge of the elaboration of the certification package (Minor Modifications or Supplemental Type Certificates under DOA) related mostly to ATA11, 25, 26, 33, 35, 38). You will collect and review the justification documents (stress analysis, qualification document) and perform the issuance of Means of Compliance (LOPA analysis, Weight & Balance Analysis...). You will be also involved in testing activities at aircraft level (Functional tests, Ground Tests, Cabin inspections...)

In the frame of a modification certification process, the Aircraft Modification Cabin Safety Certification Senior Engineer will be the focal point of the Aviation Authorities (EASA, FAA and other NAA) for any technical topic, and will present and defend the certification strategy agreed with DOA technical experts.

The Aircraft Modification Certification Senior Engineer position could lead to CVE role for individuals presenting the right skills, in a timeframe dependant on the individual background and if the individual has already held a CVE position in another DOA.
