MAP Engineering Aircraft Coordinator-A320

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for an Engineering Aircraft Coordinator to join our Engineering department in Mobile, AL. In this role, you will support the aircraft design, build, test, and operations processes, working closely with the physical aircraft.

About the role

As a member of the A320 MAP Engineering Team, you will support the collection and reporting of performance metrics to help ensure service level agreement (SLA) requirements are met. You'll also participate in final assembly line (FAL) routines as a representative of the MAP Engineering team.

Our Engineers at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing facility take our aircraft from concept to customer delivery—working with production teams on every aspect of assembly, including managing technical information, quality control, maintenance tasks, and health & safety—along flowlines and flightlines.

Working environment

The Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility for commercial aircraft is located at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley. Opened in 2015, the facility produces A320 Family aircraft and added a second product line for the A220 in 2019. This facility strengthens the U.S. aerospace industry and supports Airbus’ strategy to enhance global competitiveness by meeting customer needs in the United States and beyond.
