This role will be within the Modem Centre of Excellence. This group is known throughout the world for its pioneering work that has resulted in many state-of-the-products, technologies and multiple patents. The group undertakes fundamental research into communications technologies and then incorporates this technology and other technologies into the design, development and support of state-of-the-art communications products incorporating the realisation of Software, Firmware and Hardware. The group’s remit also extends to ‘adjacent’ areas such as network security, baseband telecommunication and network management technologies. This wide-ranging remit allows you to find where you best fit within the group and also challenge yourself to conquer new subject areas.

The role will involve working with a number of communities, the technical team itself, where appropriate other Airbus groups who use our products (e.g. Airbus Aircraft groups), and external customers.
