Description provided by Quantum Systems GmbH
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 out 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
