Thesis: Development and Performance Analysis of Tracking-Filter Algorithms (m/f), Friedrichshafen

Airbus is a leading aircraft manufacturer with the most modern and comprehensive family of airliners on the market, ranging in capacity from 100 to more than 500 seats. Airbus champions innovative technologies and offers some of the world’s most fuel efficient and quiet aircraft. Airbus has sold over 13.800 aircraft to more than 360 customers worldwide. Airbus has achieved more than 8,000 deliveries since the first Airbus aircraft entered into service. Headquartered in Toulouse, France.

Tasks & accountabilities

• Development of tracking algorithms for a space-based object tracking system
• Analysis of tracking filters for performance comparisons to select the optimal algorithm
• Implementation of the selected algorithm into a code framework (preferred programming language: Fortran)
• Modularisation of the code implementation with object oriented programming techniques to facilitate integration into the space-based tracking System
• A code framework in Fortran 2003 is available and can be used as a starting point.
• 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.

Profile

• Enrolled student within Space Engineering or similar field of study
• Prior knowledge in data filtering algorithms (e.g. Kalman Filtering) and numerical methods
• Coding-experiences in Fortran, C/C+
• English: fluent
• German: would be a plus
• You are a good team player, have excellent communication skills, and are able to work independently.
