Working as a Design Engineer at Fokker Elmo is different every day. The daily work is mostly done on-site at an aircraft manufacturer outside of the Netherlands. As an electrical harness integrator you’re connecting all aircraft systems, so you’re dealing with all kinds of other suppliers as well. You’re working in an international community, so you’re among different cultures, which is also interesting on a social aspect.

Every day you have to puzzle, fight for your design and compromise; Think outside of the box to solve complex installations, but respect the requirements from authorities and manufacturing.

But you’re not alone, there’s a very good team spirit. At the customer you’re part of a (mostly Dutch) team that helps each other out, and stands for Fokker Elmo’s reputation.

You’re working with the latest technologies, so you cannot sit back and relax, relying on your work experience; you have to keep up with new developments. You’re working on an aircraft that only exist in the digital world; the best part is being witness of your aircraft’s First Flight!

I like my job because it’s international, with interesting challenges every day. Do I need to say more?
