Airbus UpNext Cryogenic technology R&T engineer for electrical systems (m/f)

Job Description: The “Advanced Superconducting and Cryogenic Experimental powertraiN Demonstrator” ( ASCEND) is a 3-year project to develop and test a 500 kW superconducting and cryogenic powertrain to demonstrate the feasibility and the potential of superconducting and cryogenic technologies for hybrid/full electric propulsion system for aircraft. ASCEND consists of a transnational team in charge of developing this ambitious, futuristic and disruptive project composed of a superconducting AC/DC network with protections, a cryogenic motor drive, a superconducting electric motor and of a cryogenic system. The technologies will be developed and tested in collaboration with the best research institutes and companies in the world and integrated in the X-lab’s test benches in Ottobrunn The opportunity of a Cryogenic technology R&T engineer for electrical systems position has risen within the team. The position, based in Toulouse, is within the Airbus UpNext subsidiary in France. It consists of a fixed-term contract (CDI-C) on an estimated two-year long project. As a Cryogenic technology R&T engineer for electrical systems, you will be part of the team in charge of developing an ambitious, futuristic and disruptive project on an advanced superconducting and cryogenic experimental powertrain for hybrid/full electric propulsion system. It will be composed of a superconducting DC network with protections, a cryogenic motor drive, and a superconducting electric motor and of a cryogenic system. You are passionate about aeronautic, sciences and technologies, have a strong technical background and like to make and test yourself breakthrough technologies on concrete demonstrations. You like difficult challenges and are the type of person who thinks about “how things can be done” rather than “if they can be done”. You will be part of an ambitious but flexible project execution with a diverse technical team, with partners from worldwide industry and academia, start-ups in a dynamic and emulating environment. You work collaboratively, with humility and are a constant learner about how to improve your knowledge and the performance of yourself. Responsibilities: As a Cryogenic technology R&T engineer for electrical systems (m/f), you will be part of the team in charge of designing, prototyping and testing all the components of the system: * Support all the team to develop electrical technologies taking into account the cryogenic cooling needs * Develop cryogenic technologies, exchangers and circuits for all electrical bricks to ensure cryogenic or superconductivity state (distribution components, cables, motor drive and electric motor) * Design the cryogenic system and the control/command for the demonstrator * Perform tests and validate cryogenic technologies * Support electrical team to integrate and test all technological bricks * Participate to the test of the cryogenic, superconducting powertrain * Evaluate the performances and the potential for propulsive application * Drive industrial and academic partners Your boarding pass As the successful candidate you will be able to demonstrate some or all of the following skills and competencies: * Background in cryogenic system and have a relevant degree * Experience in complex cryogenic systems from technology, design through prototyping and laboratory testing * Experience in electrical engineering * Demonstrated track record of end-to-end project execution * Well-built professional network within their domain of expertise, including academics, industrial players, consultants, entrepreneurs * Demonstrated ability to reason rigorously about technology or business models at varying levels of abstraction. Especially: * Autonomy, Adaptability, Availability, Accountability * Team-Player * Hands-on and solution oriented attitude * Passionate about technology, science * Sharing the values of transparency, courage, humility, empathy * Willing to have fun. The successful candidate will be required to work very closely with All the ASCEND Team as well as the Airbus teams. Finally, it is paramount to be curious, open minded, creative, challenging, because in UpNext, we try new ways of working. Founded in 2017, Airbus UpNext is actively shaping the future of aerospace by using flying demonstrators to evaluate, mature and validate new products and services. Designed as a talent incubator, Airbus UpNext is a place where you can act and think like a startup while building on the strong expertise of Airbus, a place where you are empowered to challenge and test new processes and ways of working. Our mission is: * To identify the trends that could disrupt the future of the aerospace industry and evaluate them to demonstrate their potential as a viable product. * To accelerate traditional research cycles and prototype development to achieve proof of concept in a real environment and at a convincing scale and speed. * To develop real-world applications for emerging aerospace technologies, there by driving their maturity and increasing their value. * To be THE reference for Technology Value Assessment Our Values: #Keep it Simple #Act as one Team #Be Audacious Our DNA: #Speed of Execution, #Bold Experimentation, #Outward Looking This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
