Meet Muhammed

What is your current role and where are you based?

Airbus Faces

I am a Quality Assurance representative with Airbus Helicopters Indonesia, specialised in the H225 helicopter aerostructure project, focusing on the Fuselage and Tail Boom. My key responsibilities include inspecting various components and overseeing the assembly process to ensure the highest standards of quality. I maintain a surveillance schedule, monitoring each step of the manufacturing process, from raw material intake to the final delivery of Fuselage and Tail Boom components. I collaborate closely with the Airbus Helicopters team in Marignane, France and report directly to the Supplier Development Manager for the Airbus Helicopters APAC region.

What inspired you to be part of the aerospace sector?

My love for aviation started with my first aircraft flight at the age of 5, an experience that sparked my dream of becoming a pilot. Although becoming a pilot became impractical due to various challenges, I redirected my ambition towards aircraft engineering and pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In 2023, I finally realised my dream of becoming an Aircraft Quality Specialist.

What was the main drive that led you to apply and be part of Airbus?

Innovation. Airbus' commitment to continuous improvement and pushing beyond boundaries inspired me to join the company. My role involves leveraging data virtualisation and developing data dashboards to monitor the supplier conditions in real-time, significantly enhancing our ability to uphold high quality standards.

What do you enjoy the most about your job?

I take pride in being part of the Airbus Quality team, dedicated to ensuring the high quality and safety of Airbus products. I am passionate about driving improvements that enhance business performance, particularly through data visualisation to monitor quality levels on the shop floor. Additionally, I value connecting with colleagues worldwide, especially those involved in the H225 Aerostructure Project.

Tell us about one of the most memorable experiences from your career at Airbus. What made it so special and unforgettable?

One of my most memorable experiences was attending an Internal Auditor training session in Marignane, France. It  was special because I met colleagues from various Airbus factories, including Airbus Atlantic, Airbus Helicopters Paris Le Bourget, and Airbus Helicopters Marignane. The mutual respect, open discussions, and shared learning made this experience truly unforgettable.

The most impactful advice I received was to "always embrace challenges as opportunities for growth". My advice to others is to "believe in your potential and never stop learning".

What has been one of the most empowering moments at Airbus?

One of my most significant achievements was creating a Quality Dashboard for our project. This innovative tool enabled real-time monitoring of supplier activities and received high praise from my manager and team members.

What are the benefits of working at Airbus?

Working at Airbus provides the opportunity to collaborate with a team of experts from different fields and backgrounds, from the organisation and from external suppliers and customers. And there are numerous opportunities to work abroad.

In what way do the values of Airbus relate to your own?

Customer Focus and Integrity are core values at Airbus that strongly resonate with me. I consistently prioritise understanding the needs of my customers and upholding integrity to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality in my work.

Do you have any hobbies? How do you enjoy spending your free time?

Yes, I enjoy traveling to new places and immersing myself in different cultures. When I’m not exploring, I enjoy diving into computer games to unwind and challenge myself.
