Description du poste

AI & Software Engineer – Aviation Aftermarket (6-Month Internship)

August 10, 2026

Six month internship building AI that reconstructs an aircraft's maintenance history from tens of thousands of scanned records. Teardown, pre-purchase inspection, lease return.

We're teaching AI to read the paper life of aircraft.

Every aircraft drags a paper trail behind it.

Form 1s. 8130-3s. Work packs. AD and SB status. LLP back-to-birth traces.

Tens of thousands of scanned pages. Zero structure.

The entire aviation aftermarket runs on that paper. Sell a jet, lease it, return it, tear it down: someone still reads every page by hand. It takes weeks.

An engine with a clean back-to-birth trace is worth millions.The same engine without one is worth scrap.

We automate the difference.

The scale of the problem

Tens of thousands

of pages in a single aircraft dossier

Thousands

of components to trace, one by one

Weeks

of manual review, on every transaction

And the findings that get missed are the ones that cost the most.

Where it ships

• Teardown & part-out. Trace every rotable and LLP, or it doesn't sell.
• Pre-purchase inspection. Find the discrepancies before the buyer's engineer does.
• Lease return. Prove the aircraft actually meets its return conditions.
• CAMO & MRO. Records versus reality.Business aviation is the beachhead. Commercial, regional and rotary are next.

The hard parts

Not document search. These are the actual problems.

Read the unreadable

Build the graph

Derive the truth

Stack

You

• You like hard problems more than clean tickets
• You build from zero and ship
• You write code other people can read
• You learn fast and ask better questions than you're askedYou don't need an aviation background. You do need to want one.The hard part of this work is the domain, not the model. The engineers who move fastest here are the ones who already find aircraft interesting, and who read a maintenance manual the way they'd read an unfamiliar codebase. An engineering school background is the natural fit. The rest you learn on real dossiers, next to real engineers.

What you get

Production in week one. Not a sandbox, not a demo.

Toulouse, France.
