In order to support the Flight Dynamics department, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a

Working student (d/f/m) in the area of Flight Dynamics

You are a full time student (d/f/m), looking for a working student position and want to get to know the work of a Flight Dynamics Engineer (d/f/m)?  Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in the Flight Dynamics department as a working student (d/f/m) with approx. 18 hours a week! 

• Location: Manching

• Start: Dezember 2026

• Duration: 12 months

The Flight Dynamics team in Manching develops in-house advanced software tools aimed at large data analysis and post processing. In this context, verification and validation of these tools is required to ensure compliance to the specific tools process.

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 location

Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 18-hour week (flexitime).

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

• Mobile working after agreement 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

• Checking the scope and code of the tool and the already existing tests as a baseline for discussion and required depth of test coverage.

• Checking the requirements defined as Jira tickets of the tool and discuss potential unclear formulations as well as the scope of testing.

• Choosing requirements to test within a one-week time horizon.

• Implementing test cases within the defined scope (i.e., automatized, repeated, checking edge conditions, checking correct and incorrect user handling,...).

• Incorporating the test cases in the continuous integration pipeline, executing it, and checking the results.

• Documenting the outcome of the tests (i.e., results, limitation, bugs, potential improvements) within the tool’s documentation and reviewing the implemented test cases, discussion of improvements, and providing deliverables on a weekly basis.

 

 Desired skills and qualifications

• Enrolled full time student (d/f/m) within computer science, data science, informatics or related disciplines.

• Extensive experience in at least one of the following programming languages:

  • Java 1.8 and JUnit4 or JUnit5

  • Matlab R2024b and testsuite

  • Python 3.12 and pytest

• Extensive experience in continuous integration pipeline setup in Jenkins.

• Extensive experience in working with git, specifically Bitbucket as well as knowledge in working with Atlassian toolset, like Confluence and Jira.

• Understanding of database structures (e.g., sqlite) and large data storages (e.g., HDF5 or parquet) is a plus.

• Self-organized, team-oriented way of working.

• Advanced English, German is a plus.

 

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