Designer UX/UI

Founded in 2017, Airbus UpNext is actively shaping the future of aerospace by using demonstrators to evaluate, mature and validate new products and services.

Designed as a talent incubator, Airbus UpNext is a place where you can act and think like a startup while building on the strong expertise of Airbus, a place where you are empowered to challenge and test new processes and ways of working.

Our purpose is:

• To identify the trends that could disrupt the future of the aerospace industry and evaluate them to demonstrate their potential as a viable product.
• To accelerate traditional research cycles and prototype development to achieve proof of concept in a real environment and at a convincing scale and speed.
• To develop real-world applications for emerging aerospace technologies, thereby driving their maturity and increasing their value.
• To be THE reference for Technology Value Assessment

Our Values: #Keep it Simple #Be Audacious #Exploring Together
Our DNA: #Speed of Execution, #Caring for Each Other, #Open to the World

The new Airbus UpNext demonstrator will pave the way to more autonomous flight capacity by integration of new innovative bricks including computer vision.

This position comes with a CDI-C contract for 3 years, the timeline of the demonstrator.

Missions

Passionate and impatient about testing hypotheses and bringing learning into the business based on concrete demonstrations, you must have an artistic spirit into a coder body! Able to create the bridge between conceptual interface with hardware/software reality, you have the ability to step back to have a global vision but also to deep code to concretise these concepts.

As a UI/UX designer for the AirbusUpNext autonomy demonstrator, your primary responsibility will be to design and to follow the development of cockpit user interfaces that enable pilots and other operators to interact with the autonomous system. 

You will work closely with a multi disciplinary team of engineers,  flight test engineer,  pilots and other designers to create intuitive and user-friendly interfaces that enhance the safety and efficiency of the autonomous system by:

• Participating in the definition of a study scope and a schedule 

• Defining the main concepts of interfaces and interactions for an optimization of the Human-Machine teaming 

• Designing the user interfaces and interactions 

• Testing prototypes with users and iterating designs 

• Specifying interfaces and interactions for a hand over developer

• Following the implementation of specifications for the conduct of evaluations

• Capitalizing via documentation the concepts, and all the design material
