Definition working student
Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.
This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.
Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.
Your location
Our site is just a stone's throw away from Munich, the beautiful capital of Bavaria. Are you into sports and other outdoor activities? The Alps and Lake Starnberg are within an hour’s reach, offering a multitude of recreational options.
Your benefits
- Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 18-hour week (flexitime).
- A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.
- Mobile working after agreement with the department.
- International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
- Work with modern/diversified technologies.
- At Airbus, we see you as a valuable team member and you are not hired to brew coffee, instead you are in close contact with the interfaces and are part of our weekly team meetings.
- Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.
Your tasks and responsibilities
You will support the Digital Payload Processors Team to develop new, enhanced AI models for autonomous Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery (FDIR) tasks.
- Exploration of AI architectures for best results in accordance with the input data.
- Performing trade off analysis of AI models based on key performance indices.
- Developing strategies to integrate AI models with other spacecraft subsystems.
- Exploration of methodologies and techniques on the path of efficient AI implementation chain.
- Implementation of tests to validate the AI models to ensure reliability and performance.
- Documentation of processes and results.
- Assist in troubleshooting and resolving technical issues related to development.
Desired skills and qualifications
- Enrolled full-time student (d/f/m), in a relevant degree program (e.g., Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Communications Engineering, Aerospace Engineering).
- Strong knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks modeling frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), preferably with experience in data engineering.
- Good signal processing background.
- Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++).
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
- Fluent English is mandatory (written and spoken); German would be an asset.
