Job Description: Join us to lead Airbus UpNext SparkHaven , a strategic demonstrator critical to Airbus decarbonization roadmap. This project will conceptualize, design, build, commission and operate a new, state-of-the-art ground test facility to test novel technologies on the Airbus campus in Getafe, Spain. The mission is to accelerate the development and maturation of disruptive High Voltage Technologies for future aircraft. We will deepen Airbus' understanding of complex HV phenomena by focusing on key technical objectives, including: Validating HV Non-Propagation Strategies assessing the effectiveness of isolation barriers in nominal HV Architectures composed of HV Batteries, Power Converters and Electrical Power Distribution Systems. Safely generating and analyzing the effects of critical Failure Modes like short circuits and arc-flash events in order to assess the performance and selectivity of various detection and protection mechanisms. Characterizing Power Quality Deviations to establish future hardware specifications, assessing early prototypes performance against voltage and current transients, ripple and other relevant electric threads. Demonstrating the effects of High-Altitude Environmental Conditions - up to a minimum target of 41,000 feet - on HV systems in order to better assess the potential benefits of equipment installation in non-pressurized compartments. Airbus UpNext SparkHaven is not just a one-shot demonstrator; it's about investigating cutting edge HV technologies for commercial applications while creating a permanent, high-value testing asset for Airbus that will safely test the unsafe and serve as a foundational step for maturing new electrification technologies for the years to come. The Test Support & Control Engineer (M/F) position is within Airbus UpNext and it consists of a mission linked to the deliverable of the demonstrator (estimated completion date April , starting ASAP. Mission: As the Test Support & Control Engineer, you are responsible for the "nervous system" of the facility, enabling high-speed data capture and real-time control to validate future aircraft architectures.
