Job Description:

Shape the Future of Flight: Project Management – Cabin & Cargo Innovation

Are you ready to pioneer the next generation of aircraft passenger experiences? As a Project Management for Cabin Innovation & Integration, you’ll bridge the gap between breakthrough concepts and real-world aviation. Operating at the cutting edge of aerospace technology, you will transform Proof-of-Concept prototypes into fully industrialized cabin systems, integrating your solutions into state-of-the-art platforms like Cabin Mock ups or Test Aircrafts. From hands-on rapid prototyping to conducting technical assessments against rigorous airworthiness standards (ABD-100, DO-160), you will play a hands-on role in defining how millions of passengers experience air travel.

This role offers a unique mix of high-impact technical ownership and project management. Working closely with world-class project teams, certification specialists, and international engineering networks, you will serve as the technical engine driving cabin capability forward. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where fast learning, rapid prototyping, and end-to-end project ownership are celebrated, this is your opportunity to build local engineering capabilities while leaving a lasting mark on global commercial aviation.

Role Overview

The role  will analyze, develop, and integrate cutting-edge cabin technologies into aircraft environments. Bridging the gap between Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and full industrialization, the candidate will lead innovation projects, manage rapid prototyping, and work closely with global engineering communities, flight test teams, and certification experts.
