## Airbus UpNext Internship 2026 - Study of superconducting AC coils (m/f)Applylocations: Toulouse Areatime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Todayjob requisition id: JR ****Job Description:****CRYOPROP is a 3-year effort to explore the potential of superconducting materials and cryogenic temperatures on the performance of an aircraft’s electrical propulsion system.As a ground-test demonstrator, CRYOPROP is an ambitious, futuristic and disruptive superconducting and cryogenic experimental powertrain for hybrid/full electric propulsion system. CRYOPROP will be composed of an ground-test electric demonstrator including a superconducting DC/AC network, a cryogenic motor control unit, a superconducting electric motor and of a cryogenic system. It also includes a ground-test cryogenic demonstrator, to analyse the behaviour of cryogenic components (heat-exchanger, valves, cryofan) for the cryogenic cooling system.The opportunity of an internship on superconducting AC coils has risen within the team, based in Toulouse.**This internship will ideally begin September 2026 and will last for a period of 4 months.****Main Missions**This internship investigates the electromagnetic interactions between AC-operated superconducting coils and surrounding metallic structures, such as vacuum chambers and piping. Your principal missions will be:* Simulation and calculation of the losses in a superconducting coil in different electric conditions and environment.* Perform electrical measurement on a superconducting coil at cryogenic temperature in liquid nitrogen or cooled by cryogenic helium. This includes instrumenting the coils to perform the different relevant measurements.* Conceptualize a small test bench to validate the theoretical results.* Compile and analyze the experimental results to compare them to theoretical calculations.* Derive some design rules for upgrading the existing test bench.You will need to collaborate with a diverse technical team in order to understand the multi-disciplinary constraints around the superconducting coil. An open personality and the ability to work with a good autonomy level in a multi-cultural business environment will be necessary.**Your boarding pass**As the successful candidate you will be able to demonstrate some or all of the following skills and competencies:* Master degree in electrical engineering or equivalent* Strong knowledge of electromagnetics* Previous knowledge in finite element modeling* Familiarity with superconductivity and cryogenics will be appreciated* Autonomy, Adaptability, Availability, Accountability* Team-Player* Hands-on and solution oriented attitude* Passionate about technology, science* Sharing the values of transparency, courage, humility, empathy* Willing to have fun.About usFounded in 2017, Airbus UpNext is actively shaping the future of aerospace by using demonstrators to evaluate, mature and validate new products and services.Designed as a talent incubator, Airbus UpNext is a place where you can act and think like a startup while building on the strong expertise of Airbus, a place where you are empowered to challenge and test new processes and ways of working.Our purpose is:* To identify the trends that could disrupt the future of the aerospace industry and evaluate them to demonstrate their potential as a viable product.* To accelerate traditional research cycles and prototype development to achieve proof of concept in a real environment and at a convincing scale and speed.* To develop real-world applications for emerging aerospace technologies, thereby driving their maturity and increasing their value.* To be THE reference for Technology Value Assessment Our Values: #BeSimple #BeAudacious #BeOpen #Caring for Each Other #Speed of ExecutionThis job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.********Company:********Airbus ExO Zero Emissions SAS**Employment Type:**Internship-------**Experience Level:**Student**Job Family:**Elec.Electron.&Electromag,Optics&Optron.
