Job description
In flight deck you will perform a wide variety of dynamic and challenging work on existing and new flight decks, including:
- Designing, modeling, testing, and certifying the look, feel, and operational behavior of the flight deck, from the early conceptual phase to supporting airplanes through their service life.
- Establishing design requirements for changes and improvements to the flight crew interface on existing or new commercial airplane models, and testing and implementing those improvements.
- Supporting cross-functional reviews to understand airplane-level impacts of system failures and the associated flight deck effects and pilot actions.
- Supporting product development efforts to identify new and emerging technologies to increase aviation safety and add value to our products or services.
- Prototyping cockpit layouts using commercial and company-unique computing tools, and validating design requirements and flight deck design philosophies during test programs using analysis, flight deck simulators, and flight test airplanes.
- Collaborating with pilots, designers, and systems engineers to ensure flight deck interfaces and flight management automation complements the cognitive, physical, sensory and ergonomic capabilities of our pilots.
- Ensuring practical application of Boeing Flight Deck and human factors design principles, commonality and integration with other mission objectives.
A flight deck engineer can have a focus area which may include: airplane system functions (hydraulics, electrical, flight controls, etc.), display formats, menus and control interfaces, display hardware, flight management system, instrument panel layouts, crew alerting, electronic flight bag, crew personal electronic devices, failure effects and analysis, navigation, communication equipment, crew procedures, and crew training.
