Definition working student

Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and work-life balance with a 19-hour week (flexitime).

• A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.

• International environment with the opportunity to network globally.

• Work with modern/diversified technologies.

• At Airbus, we see you as a valuable team member and you are not hired to brew coffee, instead you are in close contact with the interfaces and are part of our weekly team meetings.

• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Collaborate with team members to design and develop test equipment using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems

• Manufacturing and assembly of test benches or test equipment

• Assist with lab experiments related to advanced space technologies

• Ensure the laboratory is organized and well-maintained, including inventory management and equipment calibration

• Support project development and related engineering documentation for various topics including but not limited to:

  • Demisable joints for satellite structures

  • Coating technologies for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)

  • Laser treatment of parts for spacecrafts

  • Soldering technologies for manufacturing of structural space hardware

Desired skills and qualifications

• Currently enrolled as a full-time student (d/f/m) in a relevant field such as Mechanical Engineering, Material Sciences, or a related discipline

• Strong interest in space technologies

• Practical experience as a mechanic, CAD technician or laboratory technician is an advantage

• Professional training (apprenticeship) as mechanic or laboratory technician is an advantage

• Basic knowledge of CAD software for design purposes

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail

• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively

• Willingness to work 100% onsite

• Willingness to learn and adapt in a dynamic research environment

Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, enrolment certificate.
