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 revolutionary new fleet - such as the A350ULR - we are breaking boundaries and paving the way for 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel use on our aircraft to reduce our environmental footprint. As part of our close-knit team, you will be at the forefront of these developments.
If this intrigues you, then come and join us at the forefront of Airbus’ sustainability vision and you will have the chance to contribute to where Airbus goes next. We value collaboration, trust and open-mindedness and are looking for similar like-minded engineers to join us and help us lead the way into the future.
We are a dynamic team recognised worldwide as a technical leader in commercial fuel systems, responsible for the end-to-end development of the fuel system of all our aircraft, including:
The Fuel & Inerting System presents many technical and business challenges that need to be understood and managed. It operates in a very hostile environment at extremes of both temperature and humidity, with the added challenge of safety being our number one priority due to the volatile nature of jet fuels. As an engineer within the team, understanding these topics and issues will be the focus of your time here.
From the moment you join, you will be an integral part of the Control & Indication department, within the Fuel & Inerting Domain.
The Fuel Control & Indication teams are responsible for the design of the complete fuel gauging and control system across every commercial Airbus aircraft, at all stages of the development lifecycle. From R&T projects, to supporting the Flight Test campaigns, you can expect to be contributing to meaningful work across our entire fleet.
The philosophy of the Fuel & Inerting Systems Domain is to have the best systems, people and partnerships. Over time as an Intern, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills as an Engineer, ultimately helping you to realise your potential.
We are in the middle of an exciting time in our industry, with a focus very much on environmentally sustainable aviation. The work you will complete with us will not be limited to traditional kerosene-based fuel systems, but also to new and novel technologies; the design of current and future Airbus fuel control systems for our next generation of aircraft and the impact that novel fuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel will have on these systems is of high importance and interest to enable Airbus to lead aviation into the future.
As one of our interns, you will operate in a challenging environment, where you will be given a real and valued role in the Control & Indication team within Fuel & Inerting Systems. Our team operates in the following areas of expertise:
