Your location

Buxtehude - a picturesque town in direct proximity to Hamburg with direct public transport connection - accommodates Airbus Cabin Electronics. We are responsible for the end-to-end value chain of the cabin management and connectivity solutions for all Airbus aircraft: In every Airbus cabin beats a heart from Buxtehude. We offer a unique opportunity for direct collaboration across all disciplines in order to deliver an innovative high-tech portfolio for passenger comfort, aircraft safety and connectivity. Imagine the possibilities!

What's the Mission?

We're not just upgrading a system; we're building the future of our operations! Our SAP S/4HANA Lighthouse Project is a critical initiative to transition from our current SAP R3 system to the next-generation S/4HANA. This is a newly created position where you'll be a key player in ensuring a smooth and successful transition for our production and after-sales business in Buxtehude.

You'll be at the forefront of:

  • Automating data migration and testing: Say goodbye to manual grunt work and hello to efficient, innovative solutions.

  • Ensuring system integrity: Through intense tool and system testing, you'll work directly with SAP key users across all business areas.

  • Agile project management: You'll help coordinate and support user acceptance tests, prioritize issues, and contribute to backlog grooming in a dynamic, agile environment.

This isn't just about IT; it's about optimizing how we build and deliver our products, and your work will directly contribute to our success!

Your benefits
  • Work-life balance with a 35-hour week (flexitime).

  • Mobile working after agreement with the department.

  • Traveling overseas or within Germany (team events) is possible after consultation and agreement from 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

As part of the SAP S/4HANA project team, you'll be deeply involved in all relevant workshops and regular project meetings. Your concrete tasks will evolve as the project progresses, but they'll include:

  • Defining and executing test cases: Collaborate with SAP key users to define, plan, and perform testing activities across various lines of business including Finance, Procurement, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Asset Management, and Sales & Services.

  • Tracking progress and results: Record test results, track progress, and communicate findings to the project team.

  • International collaboration: Work closely with our colleagues in Toulouse, France, to avoid duplication and leverage synergies, ensuring a unified and efficient implementation.

  • Driving corrective actions: Engage in regular exchanges within the project team on test results and help drive corrective actions.

You'll have interfaces within the project team and with various hierarchy levels across all involved functions, giving you a broad understanding of our operations.

Desired skills and qualifications
  • A degree or comparable qualification in Computer Science, Data Analysis, Engineering, or a related field.

  • Programming skills and a basic understanding of SAP systems.

  • Experience in process analysis, data modeling, and the implementation of digital solutions would be a plus

  • Fluency in both German and English (verbal and written) is essential. French would be a plus.

  • Strong abstraction and structuring skills – you're a natural problem-solver!

Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, letters of reference.
