Description of the job

Airbus Toulouse is looking for an intern for a 6-month internship.

The extensive use of composite parts in the design of new generation of aircraft (especially for the A350 program) has required studies on the influence of manufacturing defects on CFRP structures.
These studies have two main objectives:

·  Ensuring that the mechanical performance of the parts complies with acceptance criteria definition,
·  Defining directives for processing concessions in order to support ramp-up for A350XWB manufacturing.

The aim of the proposed work is to characterize the mechanical influence of one manufacturing defect.
In this role, you will have a good overview of the entire manufacturing process for composite parts and enable you to gain experience in composite structure sizing methods.

This internship will start on 6th March 2017 (subject to some flexibility).
