**Job Description:**

Airbus Helicopters is looking for a Materials & processes engineer (M/F) - Specialist of metallization technologies (f/m) to join our Design Office based in Marignane, France.

The helicopters's airframes are using more and more composite materials to decrease weight and to improve performance. The extensive use of composite materials leads to the need to ensure electrical continuity at airframe level, which is essential for lightning strike protection and other electrical functions on the aircraft. Metallization technologies are used to implement this electrical continuity.
