About us:

Do you like connecting with people in different organisations?

Are you interested in developing solutions for the future environmentally sustainable aircraft?

Are you enthusiastic about learning to create software solutions that have a direct impact on the Aircraft?

As an apprentice in the Capabilities team in Flight Physics you will be working on real engineering projects that impact the design of the aircraft, supporting the three other UK departments (Aerodynamics, Loads & Aeroelastics and Mass Properties) as well as working with colleagues throughout Europe, India, and Canada. This results in a high variety of work and day to day challenges.

Within our team some of the topics we’re working on include:

• Machine Learning, AI and data analytics

• Cloud

• Software support across a wide range of language

• Support of systems ranging from 30+ years old to brand new

Through our Digital and Technology Solutions Degree you will have a unique opportunity to develop applications directly applicable to engineering solutions within Flight Physics. We are responsible for overall aircraft design activities that are used for the detailed design across all the stages of aircraft development, from pre-design work to in-service support. Our activities are focused on supporting existing and future aircraft programmes, new research and technology as well as capability/tool development; as a result, the work is varied and interesting.

You are given real freedom in your placements. Often apprentices do placements with different teams in their target department but also in a variety of other engineering departments, allowing you to develop your technical knowledge and soft skills so that you have a broad basis for your future career. During these placements, you will continue to develop your skills and technical knowledge through a combination of academic study, on the job experience and training.
