Job description

In order to support the Test Means Component GR Team, Airbus is looking for a Software Developer for Lab Test Means (d/f/m)

Within the Test Means & Digital platform domain, the 'Test Means Components' sub-department verifies and supports all instrumentation and test environments for laboratory, respectively ground test installations across all aircraft programs.

You will integrate into the new and motivated Test Means Components team (across the Hamburg and Bremen sites) and serve as the Software Developer for Lab Test Means (d/f/m), taking full responsibility for ground test means components. In this role, you will be in charge of ensuring operational availability, driving new developments, and executing lifecycle governance of test means components while strictly complying with relevant quality standards and development processes. The main focus will be on Software Development according to German needs, e.g. test bricks for Ground Test Automation (GTA), Test Management System (TMS) and the Data Access Management System (DAMS):

GTA: This software enables automated and remote testing. As Software Developer (d/f/m), you are responsible for developing and adapting local GTA bridges according to different test requirements based on the core GTA brick.

TMS: The software drives the instrumentation, distributes parameters around between all necessary computers, executes simulation models, transmitting information between each.

DAMS: This software tool records all test data from a test bench and uploads it to an archive.

You will work closely with your transnational peers to foster best practices and lessons learned for a harmonized global approach. With a focus on software, you will take over responsibility for existing applications, including their registration and maintenance in ATOM (database).

If you have strong experience in test instrumentation and software development, a passion for product ownership, and the motivation to manage end-to-end testing solutions in an operational aerospace environment, this job is for you!

Your location

You will be working across the Hamburg and Bremen sites.

You will be working at the largest production site for civil aircraft situated in Hamburg. Its location on the southern banks of the river Elbe includes the option to commute by ferry. Experience the special flair of Hamburg in your spare time where vibrant cosmopolitan culture meets nautic legacy.

Bremen is a charming city full of history in the northwest of Germany. In addition to being one of the country’s greenest cities, it offers wonderful sights, a rich culture, urban flair and culinary delights. It’s also a great place for seaside lovers, being located just an hour’s drive from the North Sea coast.

Our Benefits for You

• Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
• Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
• Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
• Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
• Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Product Ownership & Strategy: Act as the Product Responsible and End-to-End (E2E) referent for catalogue solutions, managing technical relationships and performance with internal and external suppliers.
• Test Means Components Development: Propose and/or develop innovative test means components tailored to the specific requirements of Architects and Specialists, serving as the core Product Technical Referent for the architecture team.
• Software Development: Based on GTA, develop and adapt software bricks according to specific needs. Functional testing and cybersecurity compliance are mandatory.
• Operational Accountability: Ensure maximum availability and optimal utilization of all test means components. This includes executing hardware (H/W) and software (S/W) qualification tests, creating and updating Technical Sheets, and overseeing infrastructure reporting and documentation. The objective is to provide a fully validated solution for test benches.
• Lifecycle & Maintenance: Lead H/W maintenance of test means, manage S/W maintenance & evolutions, and proactively perform obsolescence monitoring and mitigation.
• Verification & Support: Responsible for the validation and verification of performance tests. Provide comprehensive technical support for all core and add-on functions, including hands-on integration support.
• Supply Chain & Logistics: Manage the specific supply of critical components not covered under standard logistic mini-stocks (e.g., specialized test units).
• Process Compliance: Ensure all new component developments fully comply with relevant processes and quality metrics defined for test means.

Desired skills and qualifications
