Project Industrial Management Placement (12 months)

Join the OneSat programme, one of the major programmes within our Telecommunications and Navigation product lines. This programme delivers high-quality, software-defined satellites, combining industrial series production for Airbus with a highly customised product for the customer.

The programme is organised into Major Modules (PMMs), each focusing on the end-to-end lifecycle of a part of the satellite, such as the payload, mechanical platform, avionics, final assembly line, and ground systems. Each PMM has full multi-project responsibility to develop, qualify, produce, validate, and deliver its part of the programme.

Working in close contact with the spacecraft's production activities (Assembly, Integration, and Test), our team coordinates the various contributors to the project, including supply chain and engineering support.
