Are you proactive, eager to learn from top-class aerospace engineers and excited to work on best-selling aircraft and/or future aircraft wing developments? Are you passionate about structural analysis and wing design? Do you like connecting with people from different backgrounds and nationalities?
We have some exciting internship opportunities within the AIRBUS Wing Structural Analysis team to work on Static Stress, Fatigue and Damage Tolerance (F&DT) and Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis in Filton.
We are a team of Structural Engineers who are all passionate about finding technical solutions to support AIRBUS product’s wings. We have a vast wealth of knowledge and experience within our engineers who can help you grow technically and personally during your year-long internship.
This internship gives you the opportunity to work on most of the AIRBUS’s wings from major developments on well-established aircraft such as the A320 and A350, to new product developments on the wing of the future.
In line with the AIRBUS’ digitalisation targets there are also various opportunities to apply and further develop your programming and optimisation skills.
What you will be doing
You will interact with different teams and be mentored by a wide range of engineers with various backgrounds while working on meaningful projects. The main tasks and responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Solving structural analysis problems within Static Stress, F&DT and FEM, through the use of appropriate AIRBUS methods, processes and tools. This will include extracting information from previous analysis and/or carrying out FEM analysis and performing calculations to justify structural performance.
- Creating appropriate documentation.
- Communicating your analysis to mentors and/or more senior engineers.
- Contributing to structural sizing and trade studies to support the wing design.
- You will be involved in the dynamic process of aircraft wing modifications, which will require alignment and integration between different teams.
- Next to your everyday work, you will also be asked to outline a set of personal development goals, which can include anything from learning Java or Python to networking and discovering how the business works.
