Airbus Hiring Industrial Design & Architecture Engineer | Bangalore

Job Description

As an Industrial Design & Architecture Engineer, you will contribute to improving the design of plants and stations that support the industrial system. The role focuses on supporting production ramp-up for current programs while building a robust and resilient manufacturing system for future aircraft generations.

You will work with Industrial Digital Mock-Up (DMU) environments and prepare related methodologies. The position involves defining, developing, and deploying industrial systems and digital twin capabilities within digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0 initiatives. The role also includes establishing best practices that support industrial teams from early conceptual design through the implementation of complete industrial systems.

This role offers exposure across multiple Airbus aircraft programs, including the existing fleet such as A320, A330, and A350, along with future Zero‑E programs.

Digital Manufacturing & Industry 4.0

• Design plant layouts for varying production rates, including 3D simulations for logistics and human path validation.
• Evaluate alternate solutions and perform trade‑off analysis using simulation‑based industrial KPIs.
• Define forward and inverse kinematics to conceptualize new jig designs and conduct 3D flow simulations.
• Automate industrial system design through robotic simulations including material handling, spot welding, and arc welding.
• Conduct ergonomic analysis to support worker health and safety.
• Manage design changes, release processes, and configuration management within the industrial environment.
• Use augmented and virtual reality technologies to validate station and jig designs.

Manufacturing Engineering

• Apply shopfloor manufacturing knowledge to implement lean manufacturing while designing or improving industrial systems.
• Use industrial engineering principles to determine optimal layouts and processes aligned with target takt times.
• Create and validate build sequences.
• Apply GD&T knowledge to understand and implement industrial tolerancing.
• Interpret design and manufacturing drawings to develop 2D and 3D layouts, jigs, and tools.
• Develop NC programming and simulation solutions for shopfloor deployment.

Industrial Architecture

• Lead development initiatives from the conceptual R&T phase through implementation using a co‑design approach.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to deliver architecture solutions that meet performance and functional requirements.
• Gather and analyze stakeholder needs and translate them into effective architectural solutions.
• Ensure architecture strategies align with business goals and long‑term planning.
• Knowledge of Airbus aircraft programs and basic understanding of structural assembly and systems integration (electrical or mechanical) is beneficial.

The role does not require expertise in all listed areas, but a foundational understanding across these domains is expected. Engineers will gain exposure to multiple industrial disciplines including Industrial DMU, ergonomics and health & safety, robotic simulation, and jig and tooling design with tolerancing.

Tools

• 3DEXPERIENCE DELMIA or comparable tools
• CATIA
• Google Workspace
• Vericut

This position also requires awareness of compliance risks and a commitment to acting with integrity, supporting the company's reputation and sustainable growth.
