Airbus pioneers sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world. The Company constantly innovates to provide efficient and technologically-advanced solutions in aerospace, defence, and connected services. In commercial aircraft, Airbus offers modern and fuel-efficient airliners and associated services. Airbus is also a European leader in defence and security and one of the world's leading space businesses. In helicopters, Airbus provides the most efficient civil and military rotorcraft solutions and services worldwide.

To stay on top, Airbus recognises the importance of supporting high-achieving and talented undergraduates. We do this through offering challenging placement opportunities during which your skills and potential are fully maximised.

Our placements  give a unique insight into potential career paths within Airbus. They are designed so that you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice and gain crucial industry experience. The skills and knowledge you gain will improve your chances of a future role within the Airbus and should benefit your future studies.

About us

Are you looking for a placement in Artificial Intelligence Placement  research? Would you like to discover the work of an artificial intelligence researcher/data scientist? Then apply now! We look forward to you joining us as a student at Airbus Central Research and Technology.

During your placement you will gain an insight into our research on next-after-next generation artificial intelligence (and data science) algorithms and solutions for challenges across all Airbus divisions within an international and multidisciplinary team, working together across multiple countries.

What will you be doing?

Being able to explain the outcome of an AI model is key to improve the acceptance of such algorithms in operations or to certification authorities. For instance, when a task is automatically assigned to a worker, the manager might need to understand the reasons why this worker and this task were chosen. Also, when a schedule is impossible to get given the constraints, it is crucial to understand how to relax these constraints to get a schedule that is acceptable.

As part of your internship, you will therefore look into the latest concepts and algorithms that tackle the explainability of decision making algorithms.

We offer you some exciting tasks

  • Understand the basic concepts of decision making algorithms and customer use-cases.
  • Carry on a comprehensive literature review and survey on recent explainability methods for decision making algorithms.
  • Develop demonstrators in line with customer expectations integrating latest work developed on explainability of decision making for concept(s) and algorithm(s) for evaluation.
  • Assess the performance of the achieved concept and algorithm on use-case data.

Skills required

Please note, we love your interest in working for Airbus but we do ask that you make only one application. We encourage you to take time to decide which of our exciting opportunities is right for you and then submit an application that best represents you, your skills and experience in connection with the role you have selected.
