About the Role
As Master thesis student, you will be a key part of our Navigation Team, exploring advanced data-driven approaches to enhance the robustness and reliability of autonomous aircrafts. Together with our world-class team, you will take an empowering role: pushing the boundaries of drone technologies.
You will be working closely with stakeholders from the Navigation, Software and Flight-Test departments to develop and evaluate innovative methods using real-world flight data. By enhancing the robustness of our navigation system in challenging environments, your master's thesis will make a direct contribution to the autonomous capabilities of Quantum Systems' aircraft.
What is your Day to Day Mission
•Research and evaluate state-of-the-art data-driven methods for safety-critical navigation applications
•Analyse real-world sensor and flight-test data to identify patterns, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement
•Develop, train, and validate promising approaches in a simulation and prototyping environment
•Compare your solutions with established model-based methods using representative scenarios and meaningful performance metrics
•Collaborate closely with our Navigation, Software, and Flight-Test teams
•Integrate selected concepts into our existing navigation framework and evaluate them using flight-test data
•Document your findings and communicate results through technical discussions, presentations, and your Master thesis
What you bring to the team
•You are currently studying robotics, aerospace engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a comparable technical discipline
•You already have practical experience in machine learning, data analysis, signal processing, state estimation, or autonomous systems
•You are personally interested in autonomous systems, aviation, robotics, and emerging technologies
•Due to your open, communicative, friendly and competent attitude, it is easy for you to be considered as an internal expert
•You are highly self-motivated and drive your area of responsibility independently
