Job description

Job Description: In order to support E-Aircraft Systems, part of Airbus X-Labs, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a Master Thesis Student on Cloud Data Analytics & Pipelines (d/f/m).

Location: Taufkirchen / Ottobrunn. Start: January 2027 (adjustment possible). Duration: 5-6 Months.

Hybrid and Electric Propulsion systems represent some of the biggest industrial challenges of our time. With the X-Labs organization, we are targeting advanced technological breakthroughs that could be key enablers of our long-term goal to ‘electrify the skies’. Through electrification and hybridization, we are driving a step change in aviation performance. Enabled by the high efficiency of electric propulsion chains and by allowing us to significantly rethink air vehicle design. These advances are opening up the design space and enabling us to look at new concepts and new markets previously impossible to envisage. 1XAD is contributing to several Airbus initiatives, for example the team is developing and testing electrical and hybrid propulsion systems in the frame of the Airbus ZEROe project, “next generation single aisle”, UAM, PioneerLab of AH and CryoProp Demonstrator.

Your location

Our site is just a stone’s throw away from Munich, the beautiful capital of Bavaria. Are you into sports and other outdoor activities? The Alps and Lake Starnberg are within an hour’s reach, offering a multitude of recreational options.

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and work-life balance with a 35-hour week (flexitime).
• Traveling overseas or within Germany (team events) is possible after consultation and agreement from the department.
• International environment with the opportunity to network globally.

• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

As a thesis student you will learn how to unify and transform fragmented E-Aircraft test data into actionable engineering knowledge. You will gain experience in designing and implementing a digital thread, moving high-volume test yields from on-premise storage to a scalable cloud data lake (Skywise Cloud). You will learn the entire analytics lifecycle.

Your tasks depending on your profile

• Program data post-processing routines using cloud-native tools to harmonize raw test data.
• Design and create automated data analytics pipelines within the cloud solution, managing flow from ingestion to prepared datasets.
• Execute advanced data analysis and exploration (interactive or code-based).
• Create final visualizations and dashboards to share key metrics.

Requirements

• Education: Enrolled student (d/f/m), computer science, data science, IT, engineering or similar field of study.
• Software skills (programming languages) and technical skills: Python, Pandas/Polars (Programming in general), Microsoft Office or Google Suite.
