Job Description:

In order to support the department Optical Instruments - Future Programs, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a

Working student (d/f/m) on Testing modules and key components of Quantum Technologies for Space Applications

You are a full time student, looking for a working student position? Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in the department Optical Instruments - Future Programs as a working student (d/f/m) with approx. 18 hours a week!

Location: Taufkirchen/Ottobrunn
Start: 01.04.2024
Duration: 12 months

Work context

Quantum technologies are very promising for several applications ranging from precision sensing to secure communication. In this quickly advancing field on the border of physics and engineering the principles of quantum mechanics are utilized to allow for innovative applications.

For an experiment in this field, we are looking for a motivated master student to support the tests of a laboratory test setup.

You will be working in the business division “Airbus Defence and Space”, Europe's largest manufacturer of Optical Instruments for space applications, on the site of Ottobrunn close to Munich, Germany.

Definition working student

Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

Your location

Our site is just a stone's throw away from Munich, the beautiful capital of Bavaria. Are you into sports and other outdoor activities? The Alps and Lake Starnberg are within an hour’s reach, offering a multitude of recreational options.

Your benefits

Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 18-hour week (flexitime).
A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.
International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
Work with modern/diversified technologies.
At Airbus, we see you as a valuable team member and you are not hired to brew coffee, instead you are in close contact with the interfaces and are part of our weekly team meetings.
Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

Your tasks and responsibilities

The scope of this work is the partial assembly and test of a prototype quantum sensor head that is paving the way for experiments in the field of ultra-cold atom physics on satellites. You will support our team with respect to the following tasks:

Prepare of the required equipment
Assemble key components for a sensor head including ultra-high vacuum technology and electro-mechanical as well as opto-mechanical components
Prepare and execute mechanical tests of components and sub-modules
Prepare and execute thermal-vacuum tests of the sensor head
Set up the EGSE (electrical ground support equipment) and OGSE (optical ground support equipment) for operation of the sensor
