Intern within Simulation and Modeling (d/f/m)

Airbus SE; München; On-site; EUR 10,000 - 17,000; Part time

Job summary

Airbus Defence and Space GmbH is offering an internship in Simulation and Modeling to support DeckFinder simulations. You will enhance MATLAB/Simulink models, generate flight trajectories, and simulate radio and inertial measurements for the DeckFinder system. The role calls for strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to learning.

The position is based near Munich (Taufkirchen) with a 6-month duration starting February 2027. English fluency is required; German skills are beneficial.

Qualifications

• Enrolled full-time student in Aerospace, Communications, CS or Physics or an equivalent field.
• First practical experience with Matlab and Simulink is desirable.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work accurately and efficiently.
• Fluent in English; German skills are beneficial.
• Knowledge of Python or C++ is a plus.
• Familiarity with Git and version control is a plus.
• Familiarity with aerospace and communications industry standards and best practices is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Improve the simulation environment in Simulink to generate flight trajectories and simulated radio and inertial measurements of the aircraft and DeckFinder system.
• Introduce the effect of physical obstacles and the aircraft body on radio measurements into the simulation environment.
• Integrate improvements into the existing test environment to use the simulation for performance and stability testing of DeckFinder software.
• Conduct a simulation study to determine the best ground segment unit (GSU) placement and optimal trajectory planning.
• Conduct a feasibility study on how to integrate radio frequency effects of radio airborne and ground pair into the simulation environment.

Job description

Job Description

In order to support simulation and modeling capabilities around the innovative DeckFinder product, the global standard for Automatic Take-off and Landing (ATOL) solutions, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for an

Intern within Simulation and Modeling (d/f/m)

Are you looking for an internship and want to get to know the work of a Simulation Engineer (d/f/m)? We look forward to you supporting us in optimizing our simulation environment as an intern (d/f/m)!

• Location: Taufkirchen
• Start: February 2027
• Duration: 6 months

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 a 35-hour week (flexitime).
• International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
• Work with modern/diversified technologies.
• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

Your Tasks And Responsibilities

• Improve the simulation environment in Simulink to generate flight trajectories and simulated radio and inertial measurements of the aircraft and DeckFinder system. This involves optimising existing models, creating new models and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the simulated data.
• Introduce the effect of physical obstacles and the aircraft body on radio measurements into the simulation environment. This requires an understanding of radio propagation and the ability to accurately model these effects.
• Integrate improvements into the existing test environment to use the simulation for performance and stability testing of DeckFinder software. This requires an understanding of software integration and testing methodologies.
• Conduct a simulation study to determine the best ground segment unit (GSU) placement and optimal trajectory planning, taking into account factors such as served volume, antenna radiation pattern and geometric dilution of precision (GDOP).
• Conduct a feasibility study on how to integrate radio frequency effects of radio airborne and ground pair into the simulation environment. This will involve modeling the effects of antenna radiation pattern, their position and attitude, and integrating these models into the existing simulation environment.

Desired Skills And Qualifications

• Enrolled full-time student (d/f/m) in the area of Aerospace, Communications, Computer Science, Physics or an equivalent field of study.
• First practical experience in the field of Matlab and Simulink is desirable.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work accurately and efficiently
• Fluent in English, good German skills are beneficial.
• Knowledge of additional programming languages (e.g. Python or C++) is a plus.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g. Git) is a plus.
• Familiarity with aerospace and communications industry standards and best practices is a plus.
