Job Description

Job Description:

Airbus pioneers sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world. The company is constantly innovating to provide efficient and technologically advanced solutions in aerospace, defense, and connected services. In the commercial aircraft sector, Airbus offers the most modern and fuel-efficient aircraft families. Airbus is also a European leader in defense and security and one of the world’s largest space companies. As such, we are actively shaping the technological future to strengthen the security and sovereignty of Europe.

Your New Environment:

To shape the future of autonomous systems, Airbus is pooling its strengths in artificial intelligence and autonomy. For this purpose, we are establishing a new, agile Competence and Development Center at the traditional technology site of Tesat in Backnang. In this environment, which combines decades of expertise in space technology with the dynamism of a startup, we are developing the next generation of AI-powered defense and dual-use applications.

Your Role: You lead the discipline that supplies our models with data.

As Team Lead Data & Simulation, you lead one of the four engineering units of our center and own both sources of the data our AI learns from and is validated against: the data we generate ourselves - flight dynamics, sensor and environment models, synthetic scenes - and the data we acquire from real flight campaigns, from fleets and from partners. Everything data-related in our center is brought together in your unit: simulation and synthetic data on the one side, data products on the other. Machine Learning and Full Stack are your internal customers, and your team is measured by the value its data create for them. You report to the Head of Engineering, lead your team with full personnel responsibility and, as is the rule in our center, you continue to work technically alongside it.

Your Tasks:

Data Acquisition: Open up new data sources inside and outside of Airbus - identify the owners, negotiate access, and see it through until the data actually arrive and can be used.
