Electrical Engineering and Test Intern

Job Description:

In order to support the Electrical Systems department, Airbus Defence and Space is offering an 

Internship (d/f/m) - Electrical Engineering and Test

Are you looking for an internship and want to get to know the work of a Space Electrical Engineer (d/f/m)? Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in the Electrical Systems department as an intern (d/f/m)! 

• Location: Immenstaad / Friedrichshafen
• Start: 01.03.2027
• Duration: 3-6 months

Satellites are composed of highly sophisticated subsystems, equipment and payloads. There units communicated with each other and towards other satellites and ground stations by high frequency electrical or optical signals. Electromagnetic compatibility and immunity (EMC) of all these subsystems, equipment and payloads are essential for reliable satellite operations and final mission success. EMC is subsequently taken into account early on in the project and up to final acceptance by design rules, analysis, inspections and tests.

In the frame of an internship of 3-6 months within an EMC laboratory, existing and partially automated test setups shall be upgraded and extended. Correct function and performance shall be verified by reference tests. Test equipment, computer and software shall be functionally integrated. This includes adaptation of existing test scripts. Tasks will be performed in close collaboration with experienced engineers and will partially be utilized in running projects. The implementation shall be done in LabView, Visual Basic and MatLab.

The department in which this internship will be allocated is responsible for the engineering and the verification of electrical systems of satellites for earth observation, navigation and science. The department supports all satellite projects in Friedrichshafen. This support includes the fields of RF communications, electromagnetic cleanliness, electrical power supply, harness design and data processing. It includes a broad band of services in the field of analysis and test.
