Airbus Global Graduate Programme 2027: Graduate Satellite AIT Electrical Engineer Opportunity in the UK
Overview
The Airbus Global Graduate Programme 2027 has an opening for a recent graduate to become a Satellite Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) Electrical Engineer at Airbus Defence and Space in Stevenage, United Kingdom. The programme is a structured two-year development journey beginning in September 2027, aimed at building technical expertise, business understanding, communication skills and leadership capability.
What you get
Graduates join a global graduate community and attend an annual in-person development week where they meet other graduates and Airbus leaders. The two-year plan covers inclusive leadership, Airbus values, resilience, communication, emotional intelligence, business understanding and technical development. The programme includes at least one rotational placement to broaden experience.
What the role involves
Satellite AIT covers assembling, integrating, testing and verifying spacecraft systems before launch. The graduate gains exposure to a range of spacecraft subsystems. Airbus mentions experience with Solar Orbiter, BIOMASS and the ExoMars Rover, along with secure space communications projects for the UK Government. Activities may include subsystem integration, functional and system-level testing, electrical measurements, anomaly investigation, and writing test documentation and reports. The role also uses programming and scripting, including C-based languages, Java and Bash, and may involve environmental test campaigns and interface checks at launch sites, which can mean overseas travel.
Requirements
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline such as electronics, electrical systems, avionics or space engineering, and should be recent graduates or have first professional engineering experience. Airbus looks for strong communication, teamwork and personal development, and an interest in or experience with practical engineering applications.
