Airbus UpNext - Superconducting motor engineer (m/f) (H/F)

Description de l'emploi :

As Superconducting electric motor engineer, you will be part of a multinational team in charge of developing an advanced superconducting and cryogenic powertrain to enable high power electric propulsion systems for aircraft application.

It will be composed of a cryogenic DC/DC converter, a superconducting DC network with protections, a cryogenic motor drive, a superconducting electric motor and a cryogenic cooling system developed with partners from worldwide industry and academia, start-ups in a dynamic and emulating environment.

You will be in charge with the Superconducting electric motor team:

developing, manufacture and test a superconducting electrical motor for electric aircraft propulsion 

to developing design and characterization tools for superconductive electric motors and manufacturing process

building a strong ecosystem and supply chain for electric motor production

providing and validate the main project milestones: specification, PDR, CDR, TRL assessment and justification

creating a detailed roadmap aiming to increase the technology readiness level (TRL) of such technology to ensure reliability and efficiency for future product

participating in the definition, assessment and maturation of the overall architecture of the propulsion systems for future electric propulsion aircraft using superconductivity

You are passionate about aeronautics, 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?.

This position is based in Toulouse and it comes with a limited contract for 3 years, the timeline of the demonstrator.

Responsibilities:

As a Superconducting electric motor engineer (m/f), you will be part of the team in charge of designing, prototyping and testing a superconducting electric motor. Your main tasks and responsibilities will include:

Participating in the complete design of the superconducting motor (from pre-design to the detailed drawings)

Leading the manufacturing process and industrial roadmap

Selecting and managing the industrial partners and suppliers

Managing the delivery of demonstrator and sub-demonstrators with respect to project goals and timeline

Ability to collaborate with internal transverse teams (mechanical, thermal, ?) to make sure of the good integrability of the motor to overall powertrain.
