Working Pattern: Standard 35 hours across 4.5 days (working between 7-7 at business discretion)

We have an incredible opportunity for you to be part of Airbus’ Zero Emissions Development Centre based in Filton, UK.

We are growing our team to face new programmes and new architectures deriving from new propulsion systems and Fuels. This is an exciting time for us and we are looking for team members for whom this is exciting too.

We are looking for someone who is motivated to be part of developing the testing capability to support the development of a hydrogen aircraft fuel system, who can work as an individual and within a collaborative team.

You will report to the Head of Fuel Test Capability Development and you will prepare, conduct and analyse tests involving integrated Aircraft systems.

The team forms part of the transnational 'Propulsion, Hydrogen and Hydromechanical Systems' SubDomain in the Flight and Integration Test Centre. It is responsible for preparing, conducting, analyzing and reporting at ground test level, and specifically employing data analytics skills at flight test level. We are a product safety focused organisation with a history of delivering innovation to our company.

We test the integration of fuel systems within our aircraft, so we need to interact and build relationships with colleagues across the world and across the aircraft Systems. As a team, we conduct development testing of new aircraft systems through agile test methods as well as supporting a vast fleet in the resolution of in-service issues.

Aligning on planning of Test Activity and co-ordinating activity with Test Engineers, conducting tests and producing Test Reports. Our main aims are to

• Collaborate with Design Office, Flight Test & Programme to determine and capture Test campaign requirements. This will involve understanding the System elements that respond to the requirements to be tested, helping design test steps to both confirm conformance to requirements and discover misbehaviours

• Collaborate with other areas of the test organisation to prepare Instrumentation, acquire results and write Test Results Analyses in response to Test Requests. This will involve agreeing measurement chains (Instrument type, installation and acquisition parameters), conducting tests, analysing system performance including interactions with other systems/physical events and presenting findings in a clear, concise manner backed up with demonstrations in plotted data

• Hydraulics Systems Testing and/or Mechanical Systems Testing or knowledge of Hydrogen Operations/fuel systems

• Analysis of System performance, test reporting and investigations

• Experience of definition of Instrumentation systems

• Familiarity with Logical Systems (AND, NAND, OR, NOR etc, SCADE (Safety Critical Application Development Environment))

• Experience of System Integrity (Robustness to failure, Reconfiguration, FMEA, Monitors, Alerts)

• An appetite for developing relationships to collaborate.

• Experience of systems testing techniques

• Awareness of safe ways of working in a Test Environment
