FCAS2024 Propulsion System Development Engineer (d/m/w)

Job Description:

FCAS – Shaping the future European Air Power

FCAS has the potential to become a future key pillar to secure the sovereignty of Europe, strategically, technologically, and industrially! With Spain joining the Franco-German cooperation, the programme took an important step towards its Europeanization. As FCAS is much more than “just” a new Fighter, but an integrated & combined system-of-system including existing and future platforms and tools, the programme will integrate a wide range of the Airbus DS portfolio and competencies.

Become part of the presumably most important defence programme of the next decades.
