Overview
Join the Airbus Systems Engineering team, which handles the complex area of maintenance and retrofit engineering in aerospace. Our responsibility is to create the technical information for the production of instruction dossiers, known as "Service Bulletins," to implement improvements and upgrade modifications. In the UK, our primary focus is on Landing Gear Systems and Wing Structure for the A320 family, A330 family, and A350XWB.
You will also have the opportunity to experience other areas, such as the fuselage and wet/dry systems, giving you visibility of the full aircraft and the challenges it faces. As product cycles are very long, the tools and ways of working are constantly evolving. Continuous improvement is at the heart of what we do.
Systems Engineering is an exciting domain within Customer Services for a number of reasons: we are a key interface and the closest area to the Design Office within Customer Services, while always keeping airline customers as our main focus; we are a small, agile team that can rely on a large, extended network. Our Retrofit Solutions Engineering teams are distributed across sites in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, India, and the USA, making transnational collaboration a part of our daily work. Our work is varied and highly interactive. Our Service Bulletins cover both standard applications (for all aircraft in a family) and upgrade scenarios (dedicated to specific customer requests). The UK's areas of responsibility include most of the Landing Gear, Wing, and Fuel topics for all Airbus Commercial aircraft.
What you will be doing
You will be given the opportunity to work in a small, experienced and collaborative team, for the in-service aircraft, as well working alongside colleagues from all over the wider business. You are expected to contribute to the creation of optimum solutions, to own smaller projects, and to support on-going activities. You will also have the opportunity to be part of an early careers community to support your professional development.
As an Airbus in this team, you may find yourself working on:
* The identification of installation drawings design solutions
* Feasibility analysis
* Configuration management
* Continuous improvement initiatives like processes
* Knowledge capture
* Compliance with Airworthiness requirements
* Ground Support Equipment
* Future ways of working (like new integrated tools)
The team will provide you with a challenging, exciting, and rewarding working experience with learning opportunities that will bring both aircraft and non-aircraft (like methods and processes) knowledge. You will gain experience and relative training on a variety of different toolsets, from bespoke tools developed for Airbus to engineering and management tools used by the whole industry.
