As the leader of the Architecture for Equipment Model Management (EMM), you will play an essential role in defining and delivering the next generation of our Product Data Management (PDM) solutions.

• Define and drive the future end-to-end strategy and roadmap for Equipment Model Management (EMM), ensuring alignment with the overall Open PLM platform and Airbus&39; digital landscape.

• Validate the design of the new EMM product, ensuring it meets all technical requirements and business needs, and prepares the organisation for future aircraft programs.

• Collaborate with other Architects, system analysts, and developers to deliver high-quality solutions based on innovative technologies.

• Drive the unification of fragmented processes and tools across all programs (A320, A350, A400M, etc.) towards a single, Open PLM-based solution.

• Provide expertise on business processes, function improvement, and technology enablement for aligning with the architecture strategy.

ABOUT YOU:

We are looking for a pragmatic leader with a proven track record in architecting complex data systems who would like to be part of the definition of the future PDM solution based on Open Technology standards.

• Proven Impact: Extensive experience in Business Analysis, Functional Architecture, or Product Leadership within a complex industrial PDM/PLM ecosystem (Aerospace, Automotive, or heavy engineering preferred).

  Domain Mastery: Deep, unshakeable knowledge of Equipment Model Management, alongside a strong track record handling BOM, Configuration Management, and 3D data integration.

  Pragmatic Leadership: A leadership style that values execution over perfection, able to navigate smoothly between long-term vision and daily implementation realities.

  Exceptional Communication: Fluent in English, with the unique ability to make highly complex technical concepts simple, engaging, and actionable for diverse stakeholders.
