- Lead the technical integration of electric propulsors and powertrain systems into advanced aircraft platforms.
- Define system-level requirements, interfaces and integration strategies for electric propulsion architectures.
- Oversee the integration of electric motors, inverters, power electronics, propulsors and associated control systems.
- Work closely with aerodynamics, electrical, battery, thermal management and flight control engineering teams.
- Conduct propulsion system performance assessments, including power demand, efficiency, thermal behaviour and operational limitations.
- Support mechanical, electrical, thermal and control-system interface development.
- Lead propulsion system integration testing, verification and validation activities.
- Support aircraft-level safety assessments, failure analysis and system reliability evaluations.
- Contribute to propulsion qualification and certification activities in accordance with applicable aerospace standards.
- Resolve complex technical integration challenges throughout the aircraft development lifecycle.
- Provide technical leadership, engineering guidance and support to multidisciplinary teams and external suppliers.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Propulsion Engineering or a related discipline.
- Significant experience in propulsion systems engineering, powertrain integration or aircraft systems development.
- Strong understanding of electric propulsion architectures, electric motors, inverters, power electronics and propulsor technologies.
- Proven experience integrating complex propulsion or powertrain systems within aerospace or other highly regulated engineering environments.
- Knowledge of propulsion performance, power distribution, thermal management and system-level integration.
- Experience with requirements management, interface control, verification and validation.
- Familiarity with engineering analysis, system modelling and simulation tools.
- Experience working within multidisciplinary engineering teams on complex development programmes.
- Strong technical leadership, problem-solving and stakeholder management capabilities.
- Direct experience with eVTOL, electric aircraft, hybrid-electric propulsion or distributed electric propulsion systems.
- Experience integrating propellers, ducted fans, rotors or other advanced propulsor configurations.
- Knowledge of high-voltage electrical architectures and battery-powered propulsion systems.
- Experience with propulsion control systems, motor control and powertrain optimisation.
- Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) or similar modelling environments.
- Understanding of aerospace certification frameworks, including EASA CS-23, SC-VTOL or relevant FAA requirements.
- Experience with system safety assessments, including FHA, FMEA and fault-tree analysis.
- Previous involvement in aircraft prototype development, ground testing, flight testing or propulsion qualification programmes.
This opportunity offers the chance to join a pioneering aerospace development programme in the UAE, contributing to the design and integration of next-generation electric aircraft technologies.
