There has never been a more exciting time to join the Fuel & Inerting Systems team in Airbus. Along with our commitment to continually improve and support our current aircraft and to make game-changing headway with our new fleet - such as the recent first flight of our new revolutionary A321XLR - we are also breaking boundaries with our new exciting ZeroE Hydrogen-fueled aircraft plans, whilst also paving the way to certify 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel use and reduce the environmental footprint of our aircraft. As part of our close-knit team, you will be at the forefront of these developments.
About us
Do you want to join a dynamic, people-centric and continually growing purpose driven group? Are you curious and a great team player? Come and join us at the heart of Airbus’ sustainability vision and you will have the opportunity to contribute to where Airbus goes next. We value collaboration, trust and open technical sharing and would welcome similar like-minded engineers to join us and help lead the way! Personal well-being is one of the highest priorities for us, as is the way we act as engineers!
We are situated in the UK and are responsible for the architecture, design, aircraft integration, certification and in-service support for all our aircraft. Given that fuel for our aircraft is contained mostly in the wings we make here in the UK, it is not surprising that Fuel and Inerting Systems are a significant factor in aircraft weight, cost and reliability.
Fuel and Inerting Systems present many technical and business challenges that need to be understood and managed. They operate in a very hostile environment at extremes of temperature and humidity, with the added challenge of intrinsic safety due to the volatile nature of jet and hydrogen-based fuels.
What will you be doing?
The philosophy of the Fuel and Inerting Systems Domain is to have the best systems, people and partnerships. Over time, our Interns will have the opportunity to develop their skills and grow both as Engineers and Leaders, ultimately helping you to realise your potential.
We are entering an exciting time in our industry, with the focus very much on environmentally sustainable aviation. Therefore the work you complete with us is not just limited to traditional kerosene-based fuel systems, but also to new and novel technologies - the design of current and future fuel systems, and the impact that novel fuels such as Hydrogen and Sustainable Aviation Fuel will have on these systems is of high importance and interest to enable Airbus to lead aviation into the future.
Our Interns operate in a very challenging environment, where they will be given a real and valued role within the Fuel and Inerting Systems Team. Our team operates in the following areas of expertise:
- Computer based engineering (software, modeling)
- Fluid-Mechanical and Inerting System Design
- Control System Design and Interfaces
- Hydrogen Fuel System Development
- Mechatronics and Electronics
- Fuel Chemistry
Our Interns will get the opportunity to have varied placements working with experienced teams in the above areas, but it would be appreciated if applicants could propose their area of interest when applying via their cover letter.
About you
Please note, we love your interest in working for Airbus but we do ask that you make only one application. We encourage you to take time to decide which of our exciting opportunities is right for you and then submit an application that best represents you, your skills and experience in connection with the role you have selected.
Our placements are open to Undergraduates only. Therefore it is mandatory for candidates to be an undergraduate for the whole duration of the placement.
We are looking for Interns who have a relevant technical degree. This can include (but is not limited to) the following areas of expertise:-
- Aerospace and/or Aeronautical Engineering;
- Chemistry and/or Chemical Engineering;
- Computer Engineering and/or Science;
- Computer Modelling;
- Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering;
- Mechanical Engineering;
- Mechatronic Engineering:
- Software Engineering
Successful candidates will also be:
- Naturally excited to work in the aviation industry and to explore engineering principles and create solutions
- Curious to the nth degree
- A team-player with the ability to work with others in an open, collaborative style
- Proficient in oral and written communication skills
- Understanding and appreciative of the future of aviation - specifically the impact that new fuels and technologies can have on Fuel and Inerting System design
Please let us know if you need us to make any adjustments. Examples of this may include (but is not exclusive to) accessible facilities; additional time for written exercises; auxiliary aids; room layout; dietary requirements etc. Any information disclosed will be treated in the strictest confidence.
This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
