In order to support the advancement in the field of conjunction analysis and collision avoidance of space assets, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a ~ PhD student in the field of On-Board Collision Avoidance (d/f/m)** You are looking for a PhD and want to get to know the work of a job title? We look forward to you supporting us in the TSEAF1 department as a Doctorand (d/f/m)! At the Airbus site in Friedrichshafen you will be working on innovation where others spend their holidays. And after work, join one of our many corporate sports groups to go running, sailing or skiing. Your benefits* Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 35-hour week (flexitime) International environment with the opportunity to network globally 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 The collision avoidance mission segment (infrastructure and tools) is considered mission critical, as close encounters with either space debris or actively controlled satellites are common for every mission. The research objective of the proposed PhD is to research on the existing challenges and to propose and deploy an embedded on-board end to end application for autonomous collision avoidance on a flight representative processor in the loop (PiL) bench. Ability to identify close approaches* ~ Data input definition (e.g. orbital catalogs) such that the amount of data to be uploaded is compatible with traditional S-Band uplink rates and volumes without compromising safety ~ start screening”, “stop screening”, “report results”, etc.) ~ Maneuverability detection using autonomous adavanced algorithms (for example, machine learning, deep learning etc..)* ~ It is important to identify such objects such that the owners/operators can coordinate encounters of actively controlled objects. As part of the proposed PhD studies, Artificial Intelligence shall be investigated as technology to achieving robust maneuverability estimations. Traditionally, collision risk assessment is based on the computation of various kinds of collision probabilities (“Pc”, “PcMax”, etc.). Oftentimes, the data available to specialized ground personnel is not conclusive or of bad quality, which impacts the decision-making process. As part of the proposed PhD studies, it shall be investigated, to which extent novel solutions (for example AI) can be u Not following the traditional path - e.g. instead of computing collision probabilities, etc. Masters’ Degree in the area of Space Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or an equivalent field of study. ~* Experience with embedded programming, ideally VHDL know-how. ~* Experience with programming languages like Python, C++ or C ~* Advanced understanding of orbital guidance, navigation, control and related processes (orbit propagation, orbit determination, etc.) Experience with software Tools like Matlab would be a plus. ~* Experience with data exchange protocols (e.g. Fluent in English, fluency in German would be a plus. ~* Airbus supports your personal growth. ~ Take your career to a new level and apply online now! ~ 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. ~ PHD, Research ~ Student ~ Airbus is committed to achieving workforce diversity and creating an inclusive working environment. At Airbus, we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and flexibly.
