#Xplorer 2026 Protospace Test Bench

Job Description:

Ready to join one of our Airbus Programs in Spain
AIRBUS offers an internship program aimed at students who are in the last year of their degree with the main objective of acquiring professional skills through the development of a project in the company.

What do we offer: Internship (curricular practicum) program Bachelors Degree Final Project (TFG).

Mission: You will prepare a final year training project that will allow you to complete your official studies.

About practical training:

• 6 months of curricular practicum internships at AIRBUS from February to July 2026

• Part time: 5h / day - 25 hours per week (8h-13h)

• Tutor assignment for continuous monitoring

Final project (TFG) to be carried out by the student:

The objective of this Final Project will be to design simulate manufacture and validate a test bench for a drones fuel system according to the provided requirements. During the project the assembly design will be carried out using CAD tools (CATIA Rhino etc.) as well as FEM simulations for elements identified as critical. Materials will also be selected based on the requirements (e.g. fuel corrosion resistance humidity thermal resistance etc.). The first step will be the evaluation of the requirements as well as the analysis of the projects risks and opportunities. The diverse nature of the requirements (structural fatigue tightness etc.) must be taken into account as well as the selection of the different verification methods that will need to be the second stage preliminary design studies will be conducted using CAD tools and analytical strength calculation methods. Subsequently the detailed design will be carried out along with FEM simulations to validate the design and verify compliance with structural integrity requirements. During this stage prototypes will be manufactured to validate different design and assembly concepts whenever necessary. Finally the components will be manufactured and the different parts assembled verifying the requirements throughout the process.

In addition to create these prototypes and manufacture the components students will be introduced to the various manufacturing techniques available in protospace such as machining laser cutting turning hot-wire cutting additive manufacturing and composite manufacturing among others. Students will also be asked to analyze alternative manufacturing methods not currently available in the department in order to expand the portfolio of rapid manufacturing resources available. This will require knowledge not only of the different methods and machinery used but also of the availability of materials and the specific characteristics of each technology in order to create appropriate designs (Design for Manufacturing). The final project will combine both theory and practice requiring a very active commitment to rapid prototyping and alternative manufacturing methods. The main deliverables will be: - CAD design of the different stages of the project. - Analysis of the different manufacturing techniques and justification of the selection of the techniques to be used along with any trade-offs. - FEM analysis with corresponding justification of the different models joints or components. - Descriptive study (economic and technical) of the decisions made in the selection of materials as well as the methods and problems encountered during the course of the project.
