Mechanical / Fuel Systems Installation Design Engineer
Filton - 100% on‑site – 35 hours per week, 4.5‑day working pattern, IR35: Inside.
Role
As a Mechanical / Fuel Systems Installation Design Engineer, you will play a key role in delivering safe, efficient and manufacturable system designs from concept through to in‑service support. Working within a supportive and diverse engineering team, you'll have exposure to a wide range of aircraft programmes, including Single Aisle, A330, A350, A380 and A400M, as well as future‑facing R & T projects.
This role offers genuine scope to broaden your technical capability, influence design decisions, and work closely with stakeholders across engineering, manufacturing and suppliers.
What you'll be doing
* Contributing to the end‑to‑end design lifecycle, from early concept through to detailed design, modification and maturity gates.
* Designing and validating mechanical and fuel system installation components and assemblies, optimised for safety, weight, cost and manufacturability.
* Producing and delivering Definition Dossiers to support manufacturing and final assembly lines.
* Leading and supporting technical studies, trade‑offs and investigations, ensuring solutions meet Airbus design methods and procedures.
* Supporting product improvement, in‑service activities and wing build, including the introduction of new modifications.
* Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders across multiple sites and disciplines.
What we're looking for
We welcome applications from engineers with transferable system installation experience. A fuel systems background is beneficial but not essential.
Essential experience and skills
* Strong experience using CATIA V5.
* Proven capability in 3D CAD mechanical design.
* Experience with configuration and design toolsets such as PASS, DPDS, VPM, ICC/ACP (or similar).
* A proactive, delivery‑focused mindset with strong communication skills.
* Ability to work effectively within a collaborative, inclusive engineering team.
* Experience in hydraulic systems or landing gear installation is considered highly transferable.
