Technical Publications Lead
AALTO
AALTO, a global leader in Stratospace. Based in Farnborough, AALTO is an Airbus subsidiary that manufactures, operates, and delivers services with its solar-powered, stratospheric platform: Zephyr.
Zephyr's persistence enables continuous flight for months at a time. Its current flight-time record of over 67 days in the stratosphere. From above 60,000+ft, or 20km above ground, AALTO can deliver several applications including direct-to-device connectivity and high-resolution Earth observation.
AALTO operates in a new operational layer between most of air traffic and low-Earth orbit, Stratospace. This is where high-altitude platforms led by Zephyr deliver services to commercial and government partners. We can help monitor environments, observe borders, track natural disasters and connect unconnected communities.
Join us as we create a new domain of aerospace: Stratospace. You'll be part of a highly-skilled, innovative and passionate group of people – Team AALTO. Together, we can Unlock Stratospace. Lead programme delivery: own the integrated plan, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues and decisions, while providing clear progress and recovery reporting. Connect suppliers and stakeholders: coordinate internal teams and external providers, resolve queries, secure timely inputs and manage deliverable acceptance and rework. Establish S1000D and CSDB governance: define Business Rules, DMRL controls, coding, applicability, workflow, permissions, data ownership, status and release controls. Assure technical quality: assess engineering source-data readiness and challenge Data Modules for technical accuracy, compliance, clarity, usability and configuration integrity. Create a robust approval and release route: take content from approved engineering sources through verification, CAMO engagement, operational validation, baselining and controlled release. Control in-service change: implement processes for publication queries, defects, urgent interim instructions and permanent corrections, including effectivity, distribution and retirement. Build lasting capability: introduce practical measures, develop users and reviewers, embed effective ways of working, and lead the long-term growth of the technical publications capability.
Substantial experience in aerospace technical publications, aircraft maintenance, support engineering or continuing airworthiness. Hands-on delivery experience with ASD S1000D and a CSDB, including modular Data Modules and DMRL governance. A strong record of leading complex programmes involving suppliers, schedules, risks, issues and dependencies. The judgement to assess maintenance instructions for technical accuracy, applicability, usability and safe execution.
