• Individual Development: Evolution opportunities and numerous training possibilities (a catalog of over 10,000 e-learning courses available in open access to develop your employability, certifications, accelerated development programs, national and international mobility).

At Airbus, we help you work, connect, and collaborate more easily and flexibly. Wherever possible, we promote flexibility in our working methods to stimulate the spirit of innovation.

Your Challenges:

• In the context of future programs, support the deployment and integration of new test benches, both on the hardware and software side.
• Act as a point of contact for the maintenance and upkeep of test facilities.
• Support AOG (Aircraft on Ground) efforts during issues on test benches.
• Responsible for supporting the investigation and resolution of problems related to test benches.
• Excellent knowledge of airborne systems and their communication protocols (A429, A664, etc)
• Participate in technological modernization decisions by providing technical recommendations.
• Ensure constant technological monitoring to propose technical improvements (automation, diagnostic tools) aimed at increasing simulator performance.
• Define and maintain technical standards and procedures to ensure rigorous long- and medium-term management of test facilities.
• Follow processes related to test bench compliance and conformity.

Your Profile:

• Experienced, autonomous, and rigorous specialist in complex and unique high-tech simulation means.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in an aerospace engineering or high-tech environment, primarily related to aeronautical simulation.
• Ability to solve hardware and software problems.
• Proven ability to foster team spirit and collaboration, as well as lead and train technical teams to achieve project objectives.
• Solid experience in integration tests, including configuration and connectivity of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) environments.
• Excellent communication skills, both in French and English (oral and written).
