Airbus UpNext - Cryogenic power electronic engineer (m/f/d)

at  Airbus UpNext GmbH

JOB DESCRIPTION:

As Cryogenic power electric engineers, you will be part of a multinational team in charge of developing an advanced superconducting and cryogenic powetrain to enable high power electric propulsion systems for aircraft application.
It will be composed of a cryogenic DC/DC converter, a superconducting DC network with protections, a cryogenic motor drive, a superconducting electric motor and a cryogenic cooling system developed with partners from worldwide industry and academia, start-ups in a dynamic and emulating environment.

ABOUT US:

Founded in 2017, Airbus UpNext is actively shaping the future of aerospace by using demonstrators to evaluate, mature and validate new products and services.
Designed as a talent incubator, Airbus UpNext is a place where you can act and think like a startup while building on the strong expertise of Airbus, a place where you are empowered to challenge and test new processes and ways of working.

Our purpose is:

• To identify the trends that could disrupt the future of the aerospace industry and evaluate them to demonstrate their potential as a viable product.
• To accelerate traditional research cycles and prototype development to achieve proof of concept in a real environment and at a convincing scale and speed.
• To develop real-world applications for emerging aerospace technologies, thereby driving their maturity and increasing their value.
• To be THE reference for Technology Value Assessment

Our Values: #Keep it Simple #Be Audacious #Exploring Together
Our DNA: #Speed of Execution, #Caring for Each Other, #Open to the World
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.
