Job Description:

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for a Solution Innovator to join our Digital Innovation department based in the United States.

You will be part of a team developing AI capabilities from simple Gemini Gems up to Agentic AI solutions. As part of the Digital Innovation Squad, you will be involved in disruptive technology scouting and bridging global AI strategies with regional U.S. customer services aiming at enhancing aircraft reliability and safety while establishing an AI-Native Operating Model.

Meet the Team

You will be part of a multicultural and multidisciplinary team composed of 35 people who leverage value-based design-thinking to explore emerging technologies and deliver market-validated innovations. Organized into agile Innovation Squads, you will collaborate closely with a Value Architect and a Strategic Designer to turn internal concepts into technical realities by validating technical, operational, economic, and legal feasibility.

Your Working Environment

Operating within the United States—the global epicenter for AI and Digital Aerospace startups—this role offers a high-impact environment bridging global Airbus architectures with unique, regional customer service business lines such as Satair, Unical, and Skywise. You will drive an "Outside-In" innovation pulse, maintaining regional tech agility while safeguarding structural compliance.

The Washington, D.C. metro area is home to multiple Airbus offices: In our nation’s capital you will find the Airbus Experience Center, a collection of interactive, multimedia exhibitions highlighting the extensive role the company plays in the aviation, aerospace and defense industries in the U.S. and around the world. The D.C. area is also home to our regional corporate headquarters – located adjacent to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) - it makes flying in a breeze!
