You will work closely with the department's experienced engineers, as well as with other key areas of the business including:
* Chief Engineers teams
* Wing design teams
* Materials and Processes teams
* Customer Services
* Electromagnetic Hazards specialists
* Aerodynamics specialists
Qualifications
* Studying towards a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent
