AI generated summary

  • You must be an undergraduate in Engineering, Computer Science, or Mathematics, have programming experience, and be passionate about Aerospace. Good communication skills are essential.
  • You will explore aircraft design options using simulations, integrate data for optimization, and apply AI, human behavior modeling, and advanced techniques to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Requirements

  • Our placements are open to Undergraduates only. Therefore it is mandatory for candidates to be an undergraduate for the whole duration of the placement. Please inform your graduation date on your application.
  • Please ensure you include your CV and a cover letter for your application to be considered.
  • The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate the following:
  • Studying towards a degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or equivalent;
  • A passion for Aerospace and one or more of its related engineering disciplines;
  • Experience in computer programming and a willingness to learn and apply the Python programming language and its common packages to problems in Engineering Modelling and Simulation, Optimisation and Machine Learning;
  • An ability to summarize findings in technical reports;
  • A good team player with excellent communication skills, and able to work independently.
  • SECURITY CLEARANCE: Eligibility to gain UK SC Security Clearance OR You will be subject to a BPSS check (including a criminal record check).

Responsibilities

  • During the placement you will be supporting the development of new approaches to enable the rapid exploration of design options for future aircraft products.
  • Utilising aerodynamics, structures and systems simulation methods the key disciplinary characteristics of an engineering problem can be described.
  • Fusing this data together enables Multi Disciplinary Analysis and Optimisation to be realised that can identify the best engineering solution for a given objective.
  • The placement will investigate how techniques such as AI / Machine Learning, Agent Based Modelling and, potentially, Quantum Computing can enable a rapid understanding and exploration of the aircraft design space.
  • Understanding how human behaviour can be modelled to improve the efficiency of engineering processes or inform future product policy.
  • Such techniques offer opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of air transport.
  • At the end of the placement you will support the demonstration of such approaches on an aircraft and air transport system related engineering problem.
