Senior avionics engineer and leader delivering avionics, IFE, and retrofit solutions for airlines.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior avionics engineer with decades of hands-on and managerial experience in airline engineering and technical services. I have led avionics teams, driven retrofit and evaluation projects, and supported line maintenance to maintain high dispatch reliability.
My career spans major carriers where I managed avionics programs, evaluated BFE and IFE systems, and delivered retrofit installations including live TV, full-browsing internet, and EFB implementations. I combine deep technical training from Airbus, Boeing, Panasonic and others with practical workshop and test-bench development experience.
I have led cross-functional projects for cabin reconfiguration, ATSU/FANS upgrades, and networked IFE/communications systems, and participated in aircraft type evaluations such as B787 and A350. I have also instructed avionics programs and managed technical projects in the region.
I bring leadership, problem-solving, and project management skills, fluency in Arabic, English and French, and a commitment to improving safety, reliability and passenger experience through thoughtful technical solutions.
