with great talent who are passionate and knowledgeable about power electronics.                                      

And no, you don’t need to come from aerospace to work in our Electrical Systems team. We can work with your power electronics skills and give you an applied background in aerospace systems and propulsion architectures. 

Green, more sustainable aviation starts right here.  You will join a worldwide community of researchers influencing and developing industry-changing technology. And you will do that through a mixture of theoretical analysis, simulations and proof-of-concept demonstrations in our lab facilities.
