Description of the job

Start date: July 2018

Location: Corsham

Application closing date: 4th November 2018

To stay on top, Airbus recognises the importance of supporting high-achieving and talented undergraduates. We do this through offering challenging internship opportunities during which your skills and potential are fully maximised.

Our internships give a unique insight into potential career paths within Airbus. They are designed so that you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice and gain crucial industry experience. The skills and knowledge you gain will improve your chances of a future role within the Airbus and should benefit your future studies.

This is an opportunity for an intern placement in the Secure Comms organisation within the Airbus Defence & Space Communications, Intelligence & Security (CIS) business line.

The Space Directorate are involved in a wide range of activities offering opportunities for an intern to gain experience within engineering based departments. In particular:

  • Space Engineering
  • Payload Engineering
  • Ground Engineering
  • Spacecraft Operations
  • Flight Dynamics

Tasks & accountabilities

Based at the Hawthorn site (Corsham), the Space Directorate intern will have the opportunity to rotate through up to 5 assignments over a period one year. From the perspective of the individual, the anticipated benefits of this approach are that they will:

  • Gain experience in a variety of technical areas in the Space Directorate
  • Be exposed to different types of task in a given area (e.g., analysis of spacecraft/ground sub-systems, report writing, anomaly investigation);
  • Gain an appreciation of the range of technical activities conducted in the company;
  • Develop insight into where their future interests lie;
  • Work in a quality company that promotes best practice and supports their professional development.

The assignments that will actually be offered will depend on the projects that are in progress at the time (and potentially the specific qualifications of the individual). The following are representative examples:

  • UHF sub-system analysis and future operation
  • Telemetry analysis and software development
  • Routine operations assessment and improvement
  • Recovery procedure writing and validation

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.
