Overview
If this intrigues you, come and join us at the forefront of Airbus's sustainability vision, where you will contribute to where Airbus goes next. We value collaboration, trust, and open-mindedness and are looking for engineers who share these values to help us lead the way into the future.
As a dynamic team, we are recognised worldwide as a technical leader in commercial fuel systems, responsible for the end-to-end development of the fuel system for all our aircraft, including architecture, design, aircraft integration, certification and in-service support. The Fuel & Inerting System presents many technical and business challenges and operates in a hostile environment at extremes of temperature and humidity. Safety is our number one priority due to the volatile nature of jet and hydrogen-based fuels. As an engineer in our team, understanding these topics and issues will be the focus of your time here.
What you will be doing
From the moment you join, you will be an integral part of the Fluid Mechanical department within the Fuel & Inerting Domain. Our teams are responsible for the end-to-end design of the complete fuel system across every commercial Airbus aircraft, at all stages of the development lifecycle. You will contribute to meaningful work across our entire fleet, from R&T projects to supporting flight test campaigns of the AULR. The work will involve not only traditional kerosene-based fuel systems but also new and novel technologies and the impact that fuels such as Hydrogen and Sustainable Aviation Fuel will have on these systems.
You will operate in a challenging environment and have a real and valued role within the Fluid Mechanical team. Our areas of expertise include:
* Computer-based engineering (software, modelling)
* Fluid-mechanical and Inerting System Design
* Hydrogen Fuel System Development
* Fuel Chemistry
The typical tasks of the Fluid Mechanical team include making architecture trade-offs for the fuel system, weighing options for the best overall aircraft compromise. You will also participate in ongoing airworthiness activities for system equipment. Developing and running simulations of fuel systems and fluid flows is a core activity, requiring an understanding of fundamental physics and the implementation of equations to model system behaviour. In the Fuel Sciences team, activities focus on fuel properties to ensure a consistent fuel is available at airports and that our aircraft can receive new or changing fuels.
Qualifications & Requirements
We are looking for Interns who are studying (but not limited to) one of the following areas:
* Aerospace and/or Aeronautical Engineering
* Chemistry and/or Chemical Engineering
* Computer Modelling
* Systems Engineering
* Mechanical and/or Mechatronic Engineering
* Software Engineering
Successful candidates will also be:
* Naturally excited to work in the aviation industry, to explore engineering principles and create solutions based on technical intuition and evidence
* Curious to learn new skills and view things in different ways
* Able to act with integrity and to speak up when necessary
* A team player who can work with others in an open, collaborative style
* Proficient in oral and written communication
* Able to understand and appreciate the future of aviation, specifically the impact of new fuels and technologies on Fuel & Inerting System design
SECURITY CLEARANCE: You will be subject to a Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) check. You may also need UK SC-level Security Clearance or Export Control, depending on the role. This job requires awareness of potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.
