Provide evidence of compliance demonstration and support the systems certification process. Define and execute tests on helicopters or within the electrical systems laboratory. Design electrical test benches in the laboratory (measurement and control systems) and write the associated test reports. Provide technical support to assembly lines and customers (troubleshooting, definition of maintenance and inspection operations).

Your profile: Technical expertise: Strong skills in electricity, electronics, power conversion, electrical networks, and electrical testing activities. Language: Fluent / professional English (daily work within a transnational team). Soft skills: Autonomy, team spirit, technical rigor, analytical capacity, and problem-solving skills.

3 Reasons to join us:

A complete and empowering role: "End-to-end" project management, from initial specification to final integration on the aircraft.

Aeronautical innovation every day: Participate directly in the development of cutting-edge technologies for the current fleet and future vertical take-off vehicles (VTOL).

An international dimension: Grow within a transnational team of passionate experts between France and Germany.

Our Values: Six essential values constitute the core of our company. Defined for employees by employees, our Airbus values shape the DNA of our business, reflecting the unique blend of qualities found in each member of our global family.

At Airbus, we build the future together and your success is our priority. Expect a global, competitive, and transparent remuneration package (including salaries, bonuses, profit sharing, participation, and preferential shareholding plans), designed to reward the impact and performance you bring, both individually and collectively. We invest in your full development: professional development (training, mentoring, international mobility), health coverage, retirement, and a commitment to supported work/life balance (parental support, flexibility).
