At Safran Electrical & Power, we recognise that aviation needs to innovate and change in order to protect our environment. We believe that future aircraft power systems will be hybrid-electric or full-electric, which is why we are working to develop and deliver advanced electrical solutions to help decarbonise flight.
The UK Safran Electrical & Power team has expertise in designing and developing electrical systems comprising generators, power conversion, distribution and control, with developing expertise in electric motors for aircraft propulsion.
If you want to help deliver this future, we are looking for enthusiastic and creative people to join our team.
The Role
As a Senior Materials Engineer at Safran Electrical & Power you will provide guidance on materials and process matters, ensuring production line continuity, as well as providing support for R&D and R&T projects. You will improve reliability and cost effectiveness in future motor and generator designs. You will work closely with suppliers and customers to ensure optimal solutions are provided to ensure our products are safe to fly. You will carry out in-depth material investigations and analysis, defining root cause analysis particularly when related to metallic material issues, joining technologies and NDT.
