At Airbus UpNext, we fly future technologies at speeds well beyond what seems feasible today. We're looking for passionate individuals to join a new demonstrator project that is shaping the future of sustainable aviation by advancing the aircraft electrification roadmap.

This project will focus on the challenges and opportunities of High Voltage Electrical Systems , which are essential for next-generation, low-emission aircraft part of Airbus ambition to electrify the skies.

As part of a fast-paced, agile team, you will help create a unique, state-of-the-art test facility from the ground up. Your mission will be to explore novel HV technologies at their limits and beyond, generating invaluable data and learnings needed to build the robust and reliable aircraft of tomorrow by safely testing the unsafe.

If you have a burning desire to make an impact and want to work in a startup-like environment backed by the strength of Airbus, this is your opportunity to help us decarbonize the aerospace industry .

• This position is based in Getafe ( Spain), and it comes with a limited contract linked to the deliverable of the demonstrator (estimated date end of April 2028)*
• Mission : *

As the E2E Test Manager, you are the conductor of the orchestra. Your mission is to plan and execute the campaigns that will “safely explore the unsafe”, validating non-propagation strategies and characterizing failure modes. You will define WHAT we test and HOW we test it. You hold the pen for the High Level Verification and Validation Objectives and steer the daily test operations during the demonstration phase.

Your Main Responsibilities :

• Test Strategy & Planning : Define the Verification & Validation strategy. Translate Top Project Objectives into concrete Test Needs, Test Plans and Test Procedures. Cascade and clarify accepted test needs to the E2E Bench Manager ensuring the solution proposed fulfills required functionalities.
• Test Campaign Execution : Lead and steer the demonstration phase managing the execution of complex tests including HV non-propagation, electrical failure modes and altitude emulation, ensuring on time full coverage for the time slot given.
• Test bench configuration control : Assure and track an agile test bench configuration in order to support test campaigns and data analysis.
• Test bench issues : Manage and clear potential test bench issues to support full availability of test bench and non-stop activities during the demonstration phase.
• Operational Leadership : Steer daily test operations, acting as the Test Director during potentially destructive and hazardous tests. You will coordinate the test team, ensure safety protocols are followed and make real-time GO / NOGO decisions.
• Analysis & Handover : Manage the analysis of test data to extract key learnings (e.g : barrier effectiveness, protection selectivity) and prepare the data packages and test reports for the final project conclusions.
• Risks & Opportunities : Identify and analyze risks & opportunities affecting E2E demonstration phase, implementing corrective and preventive actions agreed within stop / go reviews.

The responsibilities and the technical scope of the job might evolve according to the agile working environment of the project, so being flexible is important.

• Your boarding pass *

What you bring :

• Master Degree in Aeronautics, Electrical Engineering or related field. 10+ years of experience in Lab / Flight / Ground Test Operations. System Verification & Validation for Electrical Systems within the Aerospace or Automotive Industry.
• Methodology : Strong knowledge of Systems Engineering (V-cycle), Test Plan definition, execution and steering. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and synthesis capability.
• Domain Knowledge : Good understanding of electrical phenomena (arc flash, power quality, etc...) and experience testing under failure conditions.
• Leadership : Experience leading test teams in high-paced, high-pressure environments where the wrong decision in real time can lead to the end of the test campaign.
• Language : English at negotiation level. Spanish would be an advantage since it is valued for managing local interfaces and regulations.
• Eagerness to take initiatives to propose simpler and efficient ways of working. Impatience and burning desire to attain rapidly, along with a healthy skepticism for progress. Ability to cope with short deadlines.
• Values of transparency, humility & empathy. Autonomy, adaptability, availability & accountability. Readiness to step out of your comfort zone. Willingness to have fun.

What you get :

• Pivotal Role in a Strategic Mission : play a key part in a project at the forefront of aircraft electrification contributing to Airbus’s decarbonization roadmap.
• Build Something that last : Your work will create a high-value asset and learning contribution for Airbus’s future.
• Develop Critical Competences : Acquire and develop a sound background in High Voltage systems and technologies, a field essential for the future of aerospace. This experience can provide a unique career development opportunity within Airbus.
• Work on the Edge of Technology : Explore disruptive technologies at their limits, deepening your knowledge of complex phenomena like arc-flash events and the effects of high-altitude conditions on electrical systems.
• Agile and Empowering Environment : Thrive in a work culture that empowers you to act and think like a start-up while being supported by the strong expertise of Airbus. We value an eagerness to take initiative and propose efficient ways of working.
• A Great Team and Culture : Be part of a high-achieving, experienced and fun team in a shared open-space office with highly skilled colleagues. We are guided by the “Care for Each Other” value.
