Industrial System Engineer - Manufacturing Engineering

About the role

Aerospaces Airbus Operations is hiring an Industrial System Engineer in Getafe (Madrid) to join the ME - Transversal Team of the Manufacturing Engineering organization at the Getafe Plant. The plant specializes in the structural assembly and equipping of horizontal tail planes for the A320, A330 and A350 families, using automated and robotic methods and dry carbon fibre manufacturing. The engineer's core mission is to predict and improve industrial performance by developing Lean Industrial System Designs, optimizing flows and building advanced simulation models.

Key responsibilities

• Lead Industrial System Design and Modelling projects from concept to deployment, optimizing flows and minimizing the industrial footprint of plant activities.
• Develop and manage Industrial Line Flow Simulations and Digital Twins using advanced 3D software (e.g. 3DExperience) to anticipate and optimize assembly line behaviour.
• Analyze and optimize current and future manufacturing lines through time-value calculations, standard line balancing and Value Stream Analysis.
• Drive the Machine Connectivity strategy at plant level, working with Maintenance, Operations and central teams to define strategies, secure budgets and improve machine availability.
• Support and deploy Data Analytics projects and innovation technologies, managing data for predictive decisions, pattern detection and early breakdown warnings.
• Collaborate with Industrial Architects and multidisciplinary teams to turn conceptual workflows into shopfloor reality, taking account of surfaces, logistics, lead times and station ergonomics.

Required profile

• University degree in Engineering (Industrial, Aeronautical or a related discipline).
• Proven experience in Manufacturing Engineering, preferably in complex industrial, automated or aerospace environments.
• Negotiation-level English is a must; another European language is valuable.
• Strong teamwork, creativity, integrity and reliability, with the ability to lead transversal projects.

Required skills

• Strong proficiency in 3D environments (e.g. 3DExperience) for layouts, line simulation and logistics analysis.
• Knowledge of flow simulation methodologies and data management.
• Nice to have: AnyLogic, digital twin deployment, machine connectivity (IoT) and advanced data analytics.

What we offer

• Permanent position with an attractive salary and comprehensive compensation package, including employee stock options.
• Health insurance, life insurance, retirement plan and study grants.
• Flexible hybrid working where possible, plus collective transport service depending on location.
• Free canteen, kindergarten and medical office at the Getafe plant.
• Upskilling opportunities and corporate perks.
