“Without automating airspace control, we cannot realise the future we imagine. We are currently in the process of setting up projects in several countries to better understand how we can integrate drones into our airspace in a safe, reliable manner.” 

Recruited more than a year ago as an intern, Marie is now in charge of setting up infrastructures, defining strategies of supervision and implementing them into different security products like SIEM, IDS or Hypervisor.

“I was given the opportunity to work in many different contexts and with a range of clients. We see a lot of things, share all sorts of ideas but we’re not stuck in the same routine. This is what I think makes you stay.”

It’s in July 2017 that Airbus China Innovation Centre (ACIC) was established in Shenzhen. The objective now is to grow the team. The ACIC's goals are to develop a hardware lab that uses the unique eco-system in Shenzhen to design parts quickly and at low cost, they also aim to improve the passenger experience through new business models and new hardware including consumer electronics, virtual reality and augmented reality. To achieve these goals, people are needed to deliver the first wave of projects. Candidates’ profiles need to be tech savvy, but they also have to work fast and be very commercially minded.

“When you are involved in such strategic, pioneering projects, it’s nothing short of inspiring; this is what drives me day in, day out. I want to contribute in the enhancement of our product portfolio, and be the best…” Our main mission is to speed up the projects that we host in the incubator by providing services and building the right connections with potential customers in order to get their operational feedback to drive the project towards their needs, and aligned with our strategy.

"At Airbus you can experience everything without having to change companies."
