Job Title

Engineering Manager, Flight Management Maintenance Team

There are very strict physical conditions to make an airplane fly. When airlines buy an airplane, the manufacturer provides a set of reference documents that explains how the plane can be loaded, how each plane elements - cargo, fuel, baggage, seats - affects the position of the plane's centre of gravity and the envelope in which the centre of gravity should stay into to ensure the plane can fly safely. If the centre of gravity gets out of this envelope, the plane is at risk of becoming uncontrollable and thus cannot fly.

Load Controllers are responsible for the weight and balance of planes, along with the aircraft performance at take-off, descent and landing and the compability of hazardous or special material on-board.

Altea Flight Management allows load controllers to quickly and efficiently collect data needed to build the plane Load Instructions for the ramp agent, get the actual loading figures from the ramp agent and correlate with manufacturer's aircraft data and information from other systems (check-in system, fuel) to ensure plane can fly safely and generate the loadsheet to the pilot so he can validate these and input the right information onto the plane onboard computer.

It also implements a very high level of automation, along with advanced forecasting and optimizations capabilities which allows to reduce the fuel consumed by the plane, ultimately reducing CO2 emissions for each flight.

Altea Flight Management is the worldwide leader for weight and balance application, used by more than 120 airlines and 60 ground handlers in more than a thousand airports every day and is critical for the safety of each and every flight.


The team is composed of a mix of business analysts, software engineers and quality analysts that have end-to-end responsibility for the production support activities of Flight Management applications and tools.

As manager of that team your main responsibility will be to build a strong, self-organized and customer-focused team that is empowered to assess business impact, plan, deliver, take initiatives, and solve problems autonomously. You will have a key role to inspire, develop and motivate your team while fostering a culture of feedback and continuous improvement.

The team is responsible for:

  • timely management of production and test issues (functional, stability & performance issues…),

  • production incident and problems backlog: root causes investigations and fixes

  • quality and shift left initiatives: provide recommendations on code refactoring, produce high quality documentation, improve team members' onboarding, reduce incoming by empowering second and third level support teams

A good knowledge of airport and / or airline industry is a plus.
Good technical knowledge of C++, Java & python is a plus.
