As an Electrical CATIA Aircraft Integrator, you will play a key role in leading the design and development of aircraft‑level geometry and electrical system integration activities. This position requires deep expertise in CATIA V5+ and 3
DEXPERIENCE environments, ensuring the seamless integration of electrical and mechanical subsystems into a cohesive, manufacturable aircraft configuration.
You will serve as a technical leader, guiding design teams, maintaining master geometry, defining interface control, and enforcing best practices in relational and model‑based design (MBD). With a focus on CATIA Electrical and the logical and physical product structure.
Core Responsibilities- Develop and manage the electrical logical product structure, ensuring alignment between functional intent and physical architecture within CATIA/3DX.
- Translate logical system designs into physical 3D representations, maintaining traceability between electrical schematics, functional definitions, and routed geometry.
- Collaborate with systems engineering teams to ensure CAMEO‑based model data (ie: SysML or MBSE architectures) is accurately mapped into the electrical logical domain.
- Serve as a bridge between CAMEO models, logical schematics, and CATIA physical installations, ensuring all design data remains synchronized through design changes and revisions.
- Identify and resolve logical‑to‑physical (L2P) mismatches, including wire routing conflicts, connector allocation, harness flattening issues, and interface discrepancies.
- Define and maintain logical‑to‑physical (L2P) linkage strategies to ensure digital continuity across the MBE ecosystem.
- Lead integration reviews focused on electrical‑specific challenges, such as grounding, EMI/EMC considerations, and harness segregation between systems.
- Contribute to the development of process standards and data governance for electrical logical and physical model integration.
- Lead aircraft‑level 3D design and integration using CATIA V5+, with focus on Electrical Physical Harness Routing and Harness Manufacturing Assemblies.
- Develop and maintain 3D master geometry, datums, interfaces, and product structures.
- Drive consistency in model trees, configurations, and relational design workflows.
- Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, and systems teams to ensure integration feasibility and compliance.
- Partner closely with the Mechanical CATIA Aircraft Integrator to align system geometry and interface management.
- Provide mentorship and technical direction to design teams and CATIA users.
- Champion Model‑Based Engineering (MBE) and…
