Together with Camilo José Cela University, Airbus has developed an exclusive program(Discover) designed for those interested in the best training in new areas of knowledge essential to be able to develop as professionals of the future.

You will have the opportunity to study a Master, organized in three training blocks, that will allow you to Discover the skills most in demand today. It will be combined with an11 month internship at Airbus in an area related to your degree, where you can learn and complete your academic background.
The start of the internship will be in early October 2026 and will last 11 months (August disabled for all purposes) It is a full time experience 40 h/week), in which you will receive an attractive study grant.

Internship Job Description:

This internship will bring the applicant a view of A400M and LTA FAL, DC and FTC, having a unique opportunity to be as close as possible to the physical Aircraft and involved trough the complete Aircraft´s design, build, test process, Aircraft operations and Delivery to the Customers.

You will join MAP Systems team. We belong to the Design Office and we cover all A/C systems except Cargo Hold, and military systems. The applicant will join one of the three teams of MAP SYS:

• Hydromechanical team

• Avionic, Electric, Comms Cockpit team

• PWP, APU, Utilities team.

Summary ofmain challenges

Modern aircraft generate vast maintenance, flight, and technical data. This internship focuses on predictive AI/ML for failure detection and agent-based knowledge mining to provide real-time, context-aware guidance to engineers by integrating flight data and aircraft documentation.

Objectives:

Data Collection & Processing:

• Build a pipeline to ingest maintenance logs, flight data (ACARS/FMS), and technical documentation (AMM/SDM).

• Clean and validate data for AI training.

AI/ML for Predictive Maintenance

• Develop models (supervised/unsupervised/time-series) to predict failures using historical and real-time aircraft data.

• Expand models to correlate maintenance events with flight conditions.

Agent-Based Knowledge Mining (RAG Framework)

• Design a RAG system to retrieve and generate context-aware technical responses by linking AI models with:

• Flight data (e.g., sensor anomalies).

• Aircraft documentation (e.g., AMM/SDM procedures).

• Ensure seamless integration with Airbus data ecosystems (e.g., SAP, A320/A350 tools).

System Validation

• Implement a pilot case study (e.g., APU or landing gear failures) to demonstrate AI + RAG capabilities.

• Validate accuracy and usability with Airbus engineers.

This role requires the ability to adapt to MAP environment and to develop strong links with all Engineering, DTO, FAL, Flight Tests, Flight Line, Flight Crews, Quality, Delivery and Production teams.

Required skills #Airbus Diversity

As a successful candidate, you will be able to demonstrate the following skills and experience:

Technical Skills

• Python (advanced), ML/NLP libraries (Scikit-learn, Tensor Flow, Lang Chain).

• Data tools: SQL, vector databases (Weaviate/Pinecone), Airbus-specific systems.

• Aerospace knowledge: Familiarity with aircraft systems (APU, hydraulics, avionics) is a plus.

Soft Skills
