An opportunity for a MRTT Production Quality Flight line and Delivery Center Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space, Getafe (Madrid).

The selected candidate will join the MRTT Quality Operations Team, supporting manufacturing, maintenance, and flight line/delivery activities. The team is dynamic, highly collaborative, and multidisciplinary, working closely with production to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety, and operational excellence.

The jobholder will play an active role both on the shopfloor and as a direct interface with national/international customers and aviation authorities during official audits and aircraft handovers. Additionally, this role involves periodic international travel to support facilities and operations across the globe.

The main tasks of the jobholder will be:

• Manage and attest production quality: Perform shop-floor inspections, non-conformity management, and official attestation of work orders close to manufacturing/maintenance operations, preventing Foreign Object Damage (FOD).
• Lead customer and regulatory interfaces: Act as the primary Quality focal point during inspections and aircraft deliveries, directly interfacing with international customers and aviation authorities during audits.
• Conduct root cause analysis: Lead Practical Problem Solving (PPS) investigations for technical and quality issues, ensuring containment, corrective, and curative actions across multifunctional teams.
• Drive continuous improvement: Capitalize on project phases and operational valleys to propose, implement, and foster proactive quality improvement and predictive quality projects.
• Support shift and shop-floor operations: Guarantee quality coverage close to production on regular day shifts, rotating to afternoon shifts as needed (approximately 5 weeks per year).
• Provide international support: Travel to international and partner facilities (such as France, Switzerland, Canada, among others; at least 6 weeks per year) to support MRTT industrial operations.

• Workplace (100% On-site): This is an on-site, shop-floor position requiring daily direct interaction with production, hangars, and flight line operations. As such, this role does not have a structured teleworking scheme, though scheduling flexibility is provided to support personal circumstances and work-life balance.
• Work schedule & shift pattern: Regular working hours are primarily morning shifts (7:00 to 15:00), working in close proximity to production. The position requires rotating to an afternoon shift (15:00 to 23:00) on a scheduled basis (approximately 1 week every 8 weeks, totaling around 5 weeks per year), which includes a specific shift allowance (plus de doble turno) and additional personal leave days.
• Travel readiness: Willingness to travel nationally and internationally for a minimum of 6 weeks per year (typically clustered into defined blocks) across global sites and customer locations supporting the MRTT program worldwide.
