multiple openings at the mid-career level. These are high
visibility, high performance roles with the opportunity for rapid
technical advancement and leadership development.The Flight
Management System (FMS) is a fundamental component of a modern
transport airplanes. An FMS is a specialized computer system that
automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, reducing the workload
on the flight crew to the point that modern transport aircraft no
longer need to carry flight engineers or navigators. The FMS
provides and/or automates Flight Planning, Datalink, Guidance,
Navigation, Performance and Thrust Management functions.As an FMS
specialist, you will work under the guidance of experienced
engineers to understand and operate the FMS, review and develop FMS
functional and performance requirements, test, verify & validate
the FMS, document, review and resolve system issues/bugs, conduct
re-tests, understand and identify potential safety issues,
non-conformances, and directly support and participate in
development, test and certification activities.You can expect to

airplane systems such as airplane displays, flight control
computers, auto throttle, communications management

may be required to support activities such as airplane customer
visits, airshows and flight tests. You may even be asked to support
exotic activities such as flight tests to the Polar Regions and to
remote locations anywhere in the world.On the FMS team, we believe
the best way to learn about the FMS is to interact with and operate
it. The Flight Management System is the primary interface of the
crew with cockpit systems in order to perform its mission.
Therefore, to develop and test the system means to perform pilot
operations, think like a pilot, test in our virtual simulators, on
our system test benches, airplane simulators and participate in
flight tests where you can see and "feel" the FMS fly the airplane.
To that effect, we strongly emphasize that persons starting on our
team begin their journey in this area. We are confident in our
ability to provide career experiences that will keep you excited
and make you want to be an FMS specialist!--Position
