Job Description

A B747-8 Hydraulic Systems Subject Matter Expert opportunity is currently available at Belcan. This job is a REMOTE work opportunity, with travel requirements or ONSITE in Dayton, Ohio. It is available as a full time direct with full benefits OR part time employment with agreed upon hours/travel commitment. Great matching candidates will be a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the Boeing 747-8 Hydraulics System and play a critical role in ensuring the system's optimal performance, reliability, and safety, especially when tasked with generating a baseline definition of the system's performance without access to existing documentation from the OEM. Leveraging deep technical expertise, the SME will conduct a thorough assessment of the hydraulic systems, including all independent systems interfaces like flight controls, landing gear, brakes, and other essential functions. This involves detailed inspections, functional testing, and data collection on pressure levels, flow rates, response times, and system redundancies. By analyzing system behavior under various operational conditions and collaborating with maintenance teams, flight crews, and other SMEs, the SME will document key performance metrics. Drawing on experience with similar aircraft systems, the SME infers expected performance parameters, ensuring that the 747-8's hydraulics systems operate within specified parameters. The resulting baseline provides a comprehensive understanding of the system's current state, serving as a foundation for future modifications, maintenance strategies, and performance optimizations, ultimately contributing to the aircraft's overall reliability and operational readiness. Job Duties:

• Provide B747 expertise and consulting.
• Generate a comprehensive plan for determining all system characteristics without the use of any data from the OEM.
• Define on-aircraft instrumentation requirements for gathering lab, ground and/or flight-testing data.
• Instrument, or instruct supporting on-site engineers, for on-aircraft data collection.
• Identify and define inputs, outputs, and subsystem interconnects for physical and electrical characteristics.
• Identify communication busses and define standards / protocol interface requirements.
• Work with modeling team to complete an accurate digital twin model for the B747-8 Hydraulics System.

Required Qualifications:

• Experienced with B747-8 or variant (B747-200/300, -400, VC-25, E4) aircraft system.
• Must be willing to travel to customer facility (Dayton and/or Wichita), during initial development phase up to 2 weeks per month, then as necessary.
• Ability to evaluate existing subsystem and provide input related to new or modified requirements.
• Must possess excellent communication skills with ability to produce analytical studies or test data supporting existing subsystem and provide modification impact assessment rationale when applicable.
• Ability to work both independently and effectively within a team and participate in a dynamic, rapid paced environment to meet aggressive program goals.
• Bachelor degree in STEM programs
• U.S. Citizen or U.S. Person (Perm Resident/Green Card holder) is required.

Preferred Qualifications & Skills:

• Direct experience architecting, ground testing, and/or flight testing 747-8 subsystem(s) or components.
• Knowledgeable in analytical and testing techniques to characterize subsystem requirements, I/O, and System characteristics.
• Prior experience with ground, flight testing and/or STC certification experience.
• Hands on maintenance, debug, or instrumentation experience at the aircraft level.
• Experience with requirements management, and MBSE system modelling tools
