Job Description

Job Description:

In order to support our Engineering department, Airbus Helicopters is looking for a

System Engineer (d/f/m) in Self Protection System

This role is also available with reduced weekly hours (30) and an adapted scope of tasks.

The need for military helicopters is increasing in the current geopolitical context. Military customers are demanding more and more performance from the active self-protection system. On the other hand, technologies are evolving fast with the introduction of the artificial intelligence. Mastering the Electronic Warfare System is key for the military business.
In this context, your mission will be to manage the development and the integration of new and complex Electronic Warfare Systems (EWS) into militarized helicopters to ensure the protection of the aircraft and the crew.

Your location

At our Donauwörth site, located on the banks of the river Danube, we develop helicopters from the initial idea to the airworthy product. Watch them take off and touch down on our own on-site test airfield.

  • Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
