Job Description:A vacancy for a Head of Static Loads and Powerplant Interface has arisen within Airbus Defence & Space in Getafe.The successful applicant will join Engineering Department. The Flight Physics Centre of Competence (CoC) is a German-Spanish engineering organisation in Airbus Defence and Space - Aircraft and Systems. The organisation is responsible for the flight physics deliverables for all Airbus Military Aircraft programmes. The competence management within the CoC is dealt with by 5 domains: 1) Aerodynamics, 2) A/C Performance & Mass Properties, 3) Structural Dynamics & Acoustics, 4) Static Loads & Power Plant Interface, and 5) Flight Dynamics & Flight Control Laws. The deliveries to programmes are planned and driven by the Integration Managers of the CoC, who are also the Flight Physics interfaces to the Chief Engineering organisations. The interaction of domain managers and integration managers can be well expressed as a matrix organisation, i.E. domain managers as resource & competence managers versus the integration managers with programme budget and on time, on cost, on quality delivery target. On top, the CoC has strategic targets such as digitalization, standardization, simplification, and operational excellence.For our current and future challenges in Flight Physics Centre of Competence, we are looking for a Head of Static Loads and Powerplant Interface. Shape with us the future of air power solutions and become a member of the Flight Physics team within Aircraft and Systems Engineering organisation.As Head of Static Loads and Powerplant Interface, you will report to the Head of Flight Physics and act as a technical domain manager, being responsible for the competences and deliverables for the teams in Germany and Spain under your responsibility.Tasks & accountabilitiesYour main tasks and responsibilities will include:- Lead the Static Loads and Powerplant Interface teams, being an enabler for the 3 team leaders and ~ 30 team members to ensure timely growth and adaptation of your team to accomplish the strategic and business operation targets.- Display leadership and coaching behaviours; be a team player; able to inspire people with enthusiasm; create trust through proximity and promoting autonomy of team members; influence and motivate others; balance assertiveness with empathy and have willingness to learn.- Be responsible for the deliverables of the domain and the activities compassing the full life cycle, from design towards certification and in-service, of the air vehicles within Airbus Defence and Space (Medium and Light Transport Aircraft, A400M, Fighters, UAVs, MRTT, and Airbus Military Derivatives). Stay close to your customers and anticipate their needs.- Secure and push the evolution of the technical competences in the domain. In the Static Load perimeter: Loads modelling including static aero elasticity, Flight manoeuvre loads, Static gust loads, Ground handling and landing bookcases, quasi-static local acceleration loads, component & store loads, fatigue and failure loads. In Powerplant interface perimeter: powerplant aero & thermal analyses, powerplant loads, powerplant vibration & dynamic effect analyses and tests. Steer tools, ways of working, and method & process improvements, simplification and harmonization, in order to ensure state-of-the-art and implementation of digitalization and capability & technology roadmaps.- Manage simultaneously several project / programme structures (national and trans-national) to achieve the planned targets and define prioritization scenarios together with Integration Managers, Team Leaders and specialists.- Manage operational tasks: Coordinate operational planning and offer preparations, integrated workload/workforce plan, monitor actuals, dashboards, etc.- Establish adequate link with transversal areas such as procurement, finance, HR, IM, data management.- Build an inclusive environment strengthened by trust, empathy and respect. Build up strengths in the team by identifying the full potential of people and matching them with business and customer needs. Create a secure place to empower people while managing performance by objectives, reviewing progress and providing regular formal and informal feedback.- Manage high-pressure situations and provide quick balanced decision-making, providing adequate support to keep performance and team engagement.- Have a strategic vision of Airbus business and how Static Loads and Powerplant Interface can contribute. Give meaning to business objectives translating into practical guidance to the team.- Contribute to Flight Physics Steering Committee strategy, decision-making, implementing actions and communication plan.Required skills- Minimum Master's degree in aeronautical engineering- 10+ years of experience in Airbus or equivalent- International and multi-divisional experience- Leading and transformation experience- Team management experience preferred- Experienc #J-18808-Ljbffr
