922E Airbus Defence and Space GmbH; Taufkirchen, Ottobrunn; On-site; EUR 12,000 - 19,000; Part time

Job summary

Airbus Defence and Space GmbH seeks an enthusiastic intern in Simulation and Modeling to join the Airbus DeckFinder project. You will optimise the simulation environment in Matlab/Simulink and contribute to realistic flight trajectory generation with RF and inertial data models.

The role targets a full-time student in aerospace/CS/physics with a strong eye for detail, proficiency in English, and familiarity with Python/C++ and Git.

Qualifications

• Enrolled full-time student in Aerospace, Communications, Computer Science, Physics or equivalent.
• First practical experience in Matlab and Simulink desirable.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work accurately and efficiently.
• Fluent in English, good German skills are beneficial.
• Knowledge of Python or C++ is a plus.
• Familiarity with Git is a plus.
• Familiarity with aerospace and communications industry standards 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; optimise models and ensure data accuracy.
• Introduce the effect of physical obstacles and the aircraft body on radio measurements into the simulation environment.
• Integrate improvements into the test environment to enable performance and stability testing of DeckFinder software.
• Conduct a simulation study to determine the best ground segment unit placement and optimal trajectory planning considering GDOP and antenna patterns.
• Feasibility study on integrating RF effects into the simulation environment including antenna radiation patterns and placements.

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

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
