Engineering Openings
NAT - Great Engineers, Dynamic Careers
Project Engineer
The project engineer is the “Chief Engineer” and technical leader of our projects. The Project Engineer leads a multi-disciplinary technical team to design, develop, qualify and substantiate an aircraft modification. Our projects typically involve major cabin modifications, such as a cabin upgrade with new seats/suites, galleys and IFE on a customer’s fleet of Boeing or Airbus aircraft. The Project Engineer is responsible for leading the technical team to deliver appropriate quality engineering on time and within budget.
The Project Engineer is responsible for technical communication and coordination with the airline customer and their suppliers and will lead the technical discussion at ITCM, PDR, CDR etc. The Project Engineer will often develop the Statement of Work, create, review and approve Drawings, Engineering Orders, Substantiation Documents and Aircraft Manuals, assign and monitor engineering work packages and coordinate technical issues with the customer, Program Manager and executive staff. This is an engineering and engineering leadership role. It is not a program management or administration role.
Successful Project Engineers are broadly knowledgeable engineers and are typically well organized and skilled at creating, delegating, monitoring and managing technical work packages, and leading a team to identify and overcome technical roadblocks. They communicate clearly and effectively with multiple levels at multiple companies and can operate effectively in a leadership role in a dynamic, high-pressure environment.
This role requires travel of up to 20% to support customer meetings and aircraft installations at both domestic and international locations.
The Project Engineer role is demanding, deeply satisfying and rewarding.
Qualifications:
At least eight (8) years of aerospace experience working as an engineer in the electrical, interior or mechanical fields including three (3) years in an engineering leadership role. A related engineering degree is preferred although exceptional candidates with additional industry experience may also be considered.

Electrical Engineer
NAT is known throughout the industry as the premier integrator of electrical and IFE modifications for commercial aircraft.
We are seeking experienced electrical engineers with broad knowledge of Boeing and Airbus aircraft electrical systems.
The successful candidate will likely have worked in the aerospace retrofit industry in the past and will have a detailed understanding of the Boeing and/or Airbus electrical systems, drawings, PI’s, wire kits, electrical loads analysis and manuals.
The NAT electrical engineer develops and maintains cable/wire harness detail and assembly designs. Supports analysis and design reviews. Develops and maintains electrical product detail, assembly and installation designs (e.g., equipment racks, power panels, cable routing and geometry, antennas). Provides engineering design disposition on discrepancies (e.g., rejection tags, production action requests, and shop revision requests). Follows documented processes, specifications and procedures that support the design and manufacture of electrical commodities. Supports the development of statements of work. Assists in the technical review of supplier capabilities to facilitate source selection. Analyzes functional and physical input used in the development of integrated design and system architecture. Author and check aircraft manuals such as WDM.
This role requires a willingness to travel (in blocks of up to 4 – 6 weeks) up to 20% of the time to support installations at both domestic and international locations.
Qualifications:
At least five (5) years of aerospace experience in the electrical design and analysis.
