As a Technical Expert within the Product Integration (Research & Technology Aircraft System Architecture) team, you will lead the definition and optimization of aircraft-level architecture for autonomy and advanced flight management systems. Your role will focus on enabling next-generation operational capabilities through innovative system design and integration. You will drive the development of advanced architectures that incorporate emerging technologies to support future Bombardier products, including more autonomous manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). 

You will spearhead Research & Technology initiatives to evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, enhance architecture exploration capabilities, and pilot advanced solutions that shape the future of Bombardier products. Your leadership will directly influence how future aircraft architectures are conceived, analyzed, and matured from early trade studies through program launch. 

What are your contributions to the team?

• Define and optimize aircraft-level architecture for autonomy and advanced flight management systems.  
• Lead the integration of emerging technologies to enable next-generation operational capabilities.  
• Influence the design and development of future Bombardier products, including:  
  • Manned aircraft with increased autonomy 
  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)

   

• Drive research and technology initiatives to evaluate and incorporate cutting-edge solutions into aircraft architecture.  
• Provide technical leadership and guidance on system-level design decisions impacting safety, performance, and innovation.  
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure architecture solutions align with overall product strategy and regulatory requirements.  
• Monitor industry trends and advancements in autonomy, avionics, and flight management to inform technology roadmaps.  
• Represent Bombardier in technical forums, partnerships, and collaborations related to autonomy and advanced flight systems.

How to thrive in this role?

• You hold Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Avionics, Computer Science, Computer/Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. Formal training in Systems Engineering is an asset. 
• Be eligible for Canadian Controlled Goods security clearance. 
• You have 10+ years of experience in aircraft or complex-system development and certification, including systems engineering, conceptual design, architecture definition, and requirements-based verification. Strong knowledge of ARP4754 and ARP4761 is essential. 
• Demonstrate expertise in software development and certification processes (e.g., DO-178) and verification practices. 
• Have experience developing simulation solutions for Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithms. 
• Possess in-depth knowledge of requirements management tools and processes. 
• Show curiosity and openness to exploring new technologies and architectures for autonomy and UAV systems. 
• Apply strong analytical and systems-thinking skills to structure complex problems and maintain clarity across disciplines.  
• Be passionate about innovating aerospace technology and motivated by long-term goals that shape future platforms. 
• Communicate effectively, tailoring technical concepts and project updates to diverse audiences, and clearly articulate status and risks to stakeholders at all levels.
