Profile

Candidate CV questions (extra)

• Education:

  I was born in Spain where I went to public school until 6 yo.

  I then went to school from 6yo to 18yo in the public school in France, in a rural area.

  I then studied hard for 2 years to compete in the very selective french engineering schools entrance exams. I succeeded very well as I got into the 2nd best in the country.

  I took a gap year before my last year of studying to do internships and travel (I lived in Cambodia for 6 months!)

  I went to Cranfield University to do a Master of Science in aerospace for my last year.

  In total, I studied for 5 years to become an engineer after high-school.

• Qualifications:

  Studied in France but I did the equivalent of A-levels in maths and physics.

  I’ve had 1st class honours every year after high-school.

• Work History:

  I did two 6-months internships:

  • Aircraft design for cryogenic aircraft in Safran, Paris
  • Engineer for a small solar panels company in Cambodia

  After finishing my Master, I was hired by Airbus in Bristol to be part of a 2-years graduate programme where I get a very good opportunity to get new skills and understand how such a big organisation works.

• Current Job:

  I’m doing the Airbus Graduate Programme in Bristol. I work in the fuel systems department where we design the system that carries fuel from the tanks to the engine. I work on future aircraft like hydrogen aircraft which are very complex as the fuel is different and operates at extremely low temperatures (-253°C).

• Employer:

  Airbus is the biggest aircraft manufacturer in the world. It’s owned by France, Germany, UK, Spain. I work with people from these different countries. We are more than 1000 engineers in Bristol only, and around 70000 in the world.
