Manufacturing Engineer

Are you one of those people who look up to the sky every time a plane passes by?

Space holds no more secrets for you than it does for science?

Environmental and technological challenges are among those you wish to tackle?

Come join SABCA and play your own role in the fast-moving world of aerospace inside a company with more than 100 years of existence. We are experts in designing, manufacturing, maintaining, and upgrading large and complex elements for aircraft and space launchers.

In Brussels, we have our Structural and Mechatronics Engineering offices, where all our new programs begin and our workshops are equipped with modern machines that produce complex metallic assemblies for aircraft and space launchers as well as advanced Thrust Vectoring Systems for space launchers.
