About us:

You will join the Laboratory Test Means development team. We are responsible for the development, modification and maintenance of test rigs for Fuel and Landing Gear Systems. Our skill sets include electrical design, fluid mechanical and mechanical design and test facility operations. We are not your typical office based environment as we work directly with equipment often in hazardous environments involving Jet Fuel, Hydraulic Fluid, Hot and Cold surfaces, Noise and High voltages.

Our role is to develop the means for Airbus to test new technologies and system evolutions for the Landing Gear and Fuel systems of todays aircraft and tomorrows. Life in the test centre is dynamic and day to day you can find yourself working on different topics; from supporting setting up a test for an in-service aircraft issue to understanding how to integrate a new technology into a test rig.

What you will be doing:

• End to end development of new test rigs; from requirements capture to detailed design to manufacturing/integration and commissioning of the test rig;
• Supporting the modification of existing test rigs to support a new test request;
• Troubleshooting test rig issues;
• Utilising AutoCAD and other tooling to produce electrical schematics and PCB layouts;
• Working within a non-office based environment with access to prototing areas, avionic and fluid mechanical test rigs.

Requirements:

Our placements are open to Undergraduates only. Therefore it is mandatory for candidates to be an undergraduate for the whole duration of the placement. Please inform your graduation date on your application.

Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate the following:

• Undergrad student working towards a degree in electrical/electronics/mechatronics;
• Experience with 3D drawing tools, modules in fluid mechanics, mathematics, physics;
• Committed to safety protocols, a collaborative mindset, and an enthusiastic approach to hands-on engineering environments;
• Good communication skills.

SECURITY CLEARANCE: You will be subject to a BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) check. You may also need to gain UK SC-level Security Clearance or Export Control, depending on the role.
