Job Description:

Airbus Aerostructures ist Pionier für eine hocheffiziente und nachhaltige Flugzeugproduktion im Herzen von Airbus. Mit unserer Belegschaft von rund 16.000 Mitarbeitenden verbinden wir Technologieführerschaft und Innovationskraft mit modernster und effizienter Flugzeugfertigung. Airbus Aerostructures verfügt über fünf Produktionsstandorte in Deutschland: Am Hauptsitz in Hamburg sowie in den vier weiteren Werken in Nordenham, Bremen, Augsburg und Stade arbeiten wir heute an der Entwicklung der Flugzeugstrukturen von morgen. Gemeinsam handeln wir und entwickeln Lösungen, die unseren hohen Qualitätsstandards entsprechen. Wir fördern individuelle Karrierewege und stehen für Offenheit und Respekt. Das ist es, was unser Aerostructures-Team ausmacht.

Kommen Sie in unser Team als: Airframe / Vehicle Systems Integrator (m/w/d)


Ihre Aufgaben:

  • Architektur & Konzeptdefinition: Sie wirken bei der Erstellung von Flugwerk-/Fahrzeugarchitekturen mit und unterstützen bei Trade-off-Studien zur Findung optimaler Lösungen hinsichtlich Leistung, Fertigung, Kosten und Operabilität.
  • Integrations & Interface Management: Sie begleiten die physische und funktionale Integration von Komponenten. Dazu gehört die Mitarbeit beim Schnittstellenmanagement, der Abstimmung zwischen Fachbereichen (z. B. Engineering und Fertigung) sowie bei der Pflege des Digital Mock-Up (DMU).
  • Anforderungen & V&V: Sie wirken bei der Definition und Kaskadierung technischer Anforderungen mit. Sie unterstützen bei Verifikations- und Validierungsaktivitäten (V&V) zur Nachweisführung von Sicherheits- und Lufttüchtigkeits-Vorschriften (z. B. CS25)
  • Funktionsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit: Sie arbeiten eng mit angrenzenden Engineering-Disziplinen zusammen und tragen zur fristgerechten Umsetzung von Arbeitspaketen im Engineering-Plan bei.
  • Lebenszyklus-Support: Sie unterstützen im gesamten Produktlebenszyklus – von der ersten Konzeptphase über die Serienbetreuung bis hin zu Produktverbesserungen
  • Konzeptionierung & Toleranzen: Sie analysieren Toleranzketten im Zusammenhang mit Fertigungsschritten und bringen diese Erkenntnisse in die Entwicklung ein

Das bringen Sie mit:

  • Qualifikation: Abgeschlossenes Studium (Bachelor/Master/Diplom) im Bereich Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik, Maschinenbau, Systems Engineering oder einer vergleichbaren Fachrichtung
  • Fachkenntnisse: Sie bringen mehrjährige Erfahrung im Bereich Systemarchitektur oder Systems Engineering mit
  • Sie haben ein gutes Verständnis für Schnittstellenmanagement, physische Integration und Design-to-Requirements
  • Basiswissen in Mechanik, Strukturen und Materialien sowie Erstkontakt mit Lufttüchtigkeits- und Zertifizierungsthemen sind von Vorteil
  • Ein grundlegendes Verständnis von Manufacturing Engineering und Projektmanagement rundet Ihr Profil ab
  • Tools: Anwenderkenntnisse in gängigen Engineering-Tools (z. B. CATIA V5 oder 3DEXPERIENCE) sowie erste Erfahrung mit Anforderungsmanagement-Software (z. B. DOORS) sind wünschenswert
  • Sprachkenntnisse: verhandlungssichere Englischkenntnisse; Deutschkenntnisse sind von Vorteil, um die Kommunikation an den deutschen Standorten zu erleichtern
  • Persönlichkeit: Sie sind teamfähig, kommunikativ und zeichnen sich durch eine selbstständige sowie strukturierte Arbeitsweise aus

Das klingt spannend für Sie? Dann sollten wir uns unterhalten. Kein 100%iges Match? Kein Grund zur Sorge! Airbus unterstützt Ihre persönliche Entwicklung mit maßgeschneiderten Entwicklungslösungen. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie kennenzulernen!

Join our team as: Airframe / Vehicle Systems Integrator (m/f/d)

Your Tasks:

  • Architecture & Concept Definition: Contribute to the creation of airframe and vehicle architectures and support trade-off studies to identify optimal solutions regarding performance, manufacturing, cost, and operability
  • Integration & Interface Management: Assist in the physical and functional integration of main components. This includes participating in interface management, cross-functional coordination (e.g., between engineering and manufacturing), and maintaining the maturity of the Digital Mock-Up (DMU)
  • Requirements & V&V: Participate in defining and cascading technical requirements across levels. Support verification and validation (V&V) activities to demonstrate compliance with safety and airworthiness regulations (e.g., CS25)
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with adjacent engineering disciplines across interfaces and contribute to the timely execution of work packages within the engineering plan
  • Lifecycle Support: Provide support across the entire product lifecycle – from early concept studies to series support and continuous product improvements
  • Conceptualization & Tolerances: Analyze tolerance chains in connection with assembly steps and integrate these insights into trade-off studies and design decisions

Your Profile:

  • Qualifications: Completed degree (Bachelor's / Master's / Diploma) in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a comparable field of study.
  • Professional Experience & Knowledge: Initial or multi-year experience in system architecture or systems engineering. Good understanding of interface management, physical integration, and design-to-requirements. Basic technical knowledge in general mechanics, structures, and materials, as well as initial exposure to airworthiness and certification topics. Foundational knowledge in manufacturing engineering and project management is a plus.
  • Tools: Practical experience with standard engineering tools (e.g., CATIA V5 or 3DEXPERIENCE) and initial experience with requirements management software (e.g., DOORS) is desirable.
  • Language Skills: Proficient to business-fluent English skills; German language skills are welcome to facilitate communication within our German production sites.
  • Personality: Strong team player with good communication skills, high motivation, and a structured, independent way of working.

Does this sound exciting to you? Then let's talk! Not a 100% match? No need to worry! Airbus supports your personal development with tailored growth solutions. We look forward to getting to know you!

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.
