Benefits: Salary: £23,850 37 hours per week // Flexible working hours // Half day Fridays! // 25 days holiday plus bank holidays *subject to completing full hours prior to this About us: Join the Satellite Assembly Integration &amp; Test (AIT) and National Programmes department, where we are responsible for the build of projects led from the UK. These projects typically come from the European Space Agency (ESA), such as Biomass or a Mars rover, and also include national programmes. A typical project involves taking delivery of a spacecraft structure and carrying out the entire build process. We mechanically and electrically integrate all hardware, functionally test the system, and then take the spacecraft to an environmental test facility to qualify the design for the launch and operational environments. We are involved from the very beginning, working with the design team to ensure the concept is realistic for AIT and completing all necessary planning and procedure writing. The final stage is, of course, launch-where we prepare the spacecraft for fuelling, conduct final tests, mount it on the rocket, and see it on its way. Our work is highly project-based, with our teams often working together for long periods. With five spacecraft and one rover currently in progress and four more at the bid stage, no two days are the same. This is a unique and rewarding role where you can expect an abundance of new challenges as we work towards each launch. What you will be doing: Due to our high workload you will be expected to be self-motivating and capable of acting on your own initiative. You will be involved across all our projects helping to promote best practice and lead improvements. This is an ideal opportunity for someone to get a real appreciation of what it takes to build spacecraft, you will regularly be visiting our cleanrooms and interacting with engineers and technicians. By the end of the internship you will know the details of how we build spacecraft; the planning routines, quality processes and execution systems we use. With a range of disciplines within Satellite AIT the role will be tailored to your strengths, be that planning mechanical activities, debugging electrical procedures, forecasting workload and capacity or developing new tools. Our placements 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. Guidance and supervision will always be available, but you will be given a large degree of freedom and responsibility to develop each project in your own way!
