Are you looking for a working student position and want to get to know the work of a Paint Specialist? Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in Surface Technology and Fire Safety Department as a working student (d/f/m) with approx. 18 hours a week!

• Location: Bremen, Germany
• Start: 01.11 .2026
• Duration: 12 months

You will receive a collectively agreed salary of at least €19.10 per hour, depending on the job. There are also special payments such as vacation pay.

At Airbus, our purpose is to “pioneer sustainable aviation for a safe & united world.” To achieve this, we have the ambition to develop sustainable and reliable paint schemes for our aircraft.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within Airbus Engineering for a student to join the Surface Technology team in the Materials, Processes, and Test Department as a working student.

Definition working student

Working students (d/f/m) are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

The role

We are looking for a talented candidate (d/f/m) who can reinforce our project team by bringing their academic expertise and making a difference through proven interpersonal and collaboration skills. For a self-motivated team player with initiative and a flexible approach, we offer ongoing opportunities for career development.

This position is based in Bremen. The successful candidate will report directly to the local supervisor.

Your location

Bremen is a charming city full of history in the northwest of Germany. In addition to being one of the country’s greenest cities, it offers wonderful sights, a rich culture, urban flair and culinary delights. It’s also a great place for seaside lovers, being located just an hour’s drive from the North Sea coast.

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 18-hour week (flexitime).
• A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.
• Mobile working after agreement with the department.
• International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
• Work with modern/diversified technologies.
• At Airbus, we see you as a valuable team member and you are not hired to brew coffee, instead you are in close contact with the interfaces and are part of our weekly team meetings.
• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Support the overall research and development of a sustainable, next-generation paint system.
• Research and development of EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety) compliant primer and paint systems.
• Formulate, apply and analyze model coatings for different application cases
• Evaluate the technical performance of product proposals by defining test programs, executing testing, and preparing technical reports.
• Conduct analytical investigations regarding the physical and chemical properties of various coatings.

Desired skills and qualifications

• Enrolled full-time student (d/f/m) in the area of Paint Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, or a related discipline.
• Interests: A strong passion for surface technology, paints and coatings formulation, and corrosion prevention
• Experience: Prior experience in the general analytical evaluation and corrosion assessment of organic coatings is a strong plus.
• Skills: Exceptional communication and analytical skills are mandatory.
