For the department “High Temperature Materials & Technologies” in Taufkirchen (Munich) we are looking for a student (d/f/m) who would like to support us in the scope of an internship and final year thesis (internship + bachelor or master thesis) starting as soon as possible.

Your employer:

ArianeGroup is an industrial group that carries out sovereignty missions in the fields of space and defence. With more than 8,300 highly qualified employees in France and Germany, ArianeGroup has unique expertise in access to space. The company’s expertise covers the entire spectrum of civil and military launch vehicle systems, from design to development, manufacturing, integration, flight preparation, maintenance and dismantling.

The ArianeGroup Technical Center Ceramic Composites specializes in the development of fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). The laboratory features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, such as textile manufacturing machines and high-temperature furnaces. The equipment is used in advanced manufacturing processes to develop high quality, customized CMCs for propulsion applications. A vital step in the manufacturing of CMC materials is protecting the fibers from degradation. One approach to achieving this is by applying a protective coating to the fiber. The scope of this thesis is putting an existing chemical vapor deposition reactor designed for coating carbon fibers in pyrolytic carbon into service.

Your location:

In Bavaria, near Munich, the Ottobrunn site is ArianeGroup’s European centre of excellence for the development and production of space engine combustion chambers for launchers or satellites. The combustion chambers for Ariane 6’s liquid propulsion engines - Vulcain 2.1 and Vinci - are built here, along with that of the Prometheus® reusable engine. The site is also a centre of excellence for 3D printing and the production of cryogenic valves.
