At the Airbus site in Friedrichshafen you will be working on innovation where others spend their holidays. Enjoy panoramic views of Lake Constance while having lunch in our canteen. And after work, join one of our many corporate sports groups to go running, sailing or skiing.

• We are developing a smart assistant that reads complex regulations (like the EU AI Act, aviation safety rules, or cybersecurity standards), understands your product, and automatically generates a Compliance Management Plan, with full traceability and citations.
• We’re looking for a Master’s student (6-month thesis) to help us build and test this RAG-based system. You’ll work hands-on with modern AI tools, cloud platforms, and real compliance data, and turn your thesis into a working prototype that could shape the future of safe, certified technology.
