The group is responsible for the certification activities of the Auto-Flight System (ATA22) and Flight Control System (ATA27). It is also responsible of organizing and coordinating the verification and validation activities of the domain through V&V coordinators. You will join the 4 coordinators.

With a central position during a development, you will exchange with many different groups within the domain (from system designers to modelling team,) and beyond (Programs, Certification Authorities).

You will be responsible to define and coordinate the V&V activities of Aircraft control systems (Auto-flight ATA22, Flight Control ATA27) on one or several programs (depending on profile and experience the main targets are A320 and A380 programs).

As Verification and Validation Coordinator (V&V Coordinator), your main missions are the following :

• From the Airbus directives, define the V&V strategy with the designers, the DCS (Designated Certification Specialist), the laboratory, and the flight tests teams at the beginning of the project (which should lead to the delivery of a V&V Plan)
