Job Summary

Job Description:

Airbushas always been aworldwide leader for spacecraft design and manufacturingbut developing satellites for large constellations demands revolutionary approaches.

Airbus Constellations Satellites project innovates across design production and assemblyto dramatically optimise costs for high-performance space applications.
