Internship + Thesis (m/f/d) in High Temperature Materials & Technologies

at  Ariane Group

ArianeGroup is lead contractor for civil and defense space launcher systems, responsible for the design and the entire production process of Europe’s Ariane 5 and Ariane 6, including marketing and operation by its Arianespace subsidiary, as well as for the design, manufacture, and operational condition maintenance of the missiles of the French oceanic deterrent force.
Internationally recognized for its innovative, competitive solutions, ArianeGroup has expertise in all aspects of state-of-the-art space propulsion technologies. ArianeGroup and its subsidiaries also offer their specialist skills in space equipment, services, space surveillance, and critical infrastructure to benefit other industrial sectors. Equally owned by Airbus and Safran, the group employs more than 8,000 highly qualified staff in France and Germany.
The ArianeGroup Technical Center Ceramic Composites specializes in the development of fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). The laboratory features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, such as textile manufacturing machines and high-temperature furnaces. The equipment is used in advanced manufacturing processes to develop high quality, customized CMCs for propulsion applications. A vital step in the manufacturing of CMC materials is protecting the fibers from degradation. One approach to achieving this is by applying a protective coating to the fiber. The scope of this thesis is putting an existing chemical vapor deposition reactor designed for coating carbon fibers in pyrolytic carbon into service.
For the department “High Temperature Materials & Technologies” in Taufkirchen (Munich) we are looking for a student (m/f/d) who would like to support us in the scope of an internship and final year thesis (internship + bachelor or master thesis) starting September/October 2024.
