Description

Who YOU are

Are YOU interested in Electro-Magnetic Hazards (EMH) and how we protect aircrafts against these threats?
Are YOU excited when you think about the next generation of electrified and green aircrafts and their system designs?
Do YOU want to be part of the Airbus design teams creating such systems to develop your technical expertise?
Are YOU keen to work in a multicultural, dynamic, continuous learning environment and is your style of working autonomous, proactive and solution-oriented?

If your answers are YES to all of the above, WE are definitely looking for YOU.

About us:

The EMH Lightning Direct Effects (LDE) group is a highly specialised and transnational team of engineers working within the Airbus Systems Engineering Design Office.

WE are responsible for providing all aspects of aircraft protection against the direct effects of lightning strike and Electrostatic discharge (ESD) .

WE contribute to all phases of development, from R&T and concept, through development and certification, to inservice support of the growing fleet, and are also involved in preparing technology for the array of Zero Emission aircraft to be introduced in the near future

WE operate across all Airbus sites, all Airbus aircraft programmes and all aircraft components (wing, fuselage, empennage) and new interns will be fully integrated into a transnational way of working, encouraged to work with colleagues on all Airbus sites and functions, on a daily basis.

About the Internship Placement

We are passionate about developing placement students to prepare our future, and so whilst you will be given challenging objectives, you will also be fully supported in your mission to fully exploit the state of the art knowledge and techniques in aircraft lightning protection and in doing so develop your technical and behavioural competencies

Our Interns operate in a very challenging environment, where they will be given a real and valued role within the LDE team. During the Internship, you will get the opportunity to have multiple placements working with experienced teams across the Airbus Aircraft Family, from new developments through to in-service Aircraft, as well as working alongside customers, suppliers and manufacturing assembly where necessary..
