The UAS (Uncrewed Aerial Systems) Flight Autonomy System Engineer (M/F) position is within Airbus UpNext Spain, based in Getafe, starting ASAP. It consists of a limited contract linked to the delivery of the flight autonomy demonstrator, with an estimated completion date at the end of December 2028.*
Airbus UpNext is seeking a Flight Autonomy System Engineer to architect and uphold the systems engineering and verification framework for our flight autonomy demonstrator.
You will also be responsible for shaping and synchronizing the system-level Verification and Validation strategy, spanning across simulation, laboratory benches, ground campaigns, and flight-test operations.
If you enjoy weaving the digital thread of complex autonomy, obsessing over the traceability of every system requirement, and proving that your models don't just work on screen but thrive in the chaos of flight-test, this may be your boarding gate.
You'll establish the end-to-end "digital thread" linking operational concepts, requirements, architecture, code, and flight-test evidence.




Maintain rigorous end-to-end traceability from concept to flight-test evidence.
