Research Associate (Ph.D. Candidate) (m/f/d): Automation of Future Aerial Vehicle Operations

01.02.2023, Wissenschaftliches Personal

With the Institute of Flight System Dynamics delivering innovative flight control solutions for manned and unmanned real world aircraft and eVTOL configurations, we realize novel mission scenarios for tomorrow’s applications. Leveraging the automation of flight and mission execution to exploit the unique flight mechanics of these novel aircraft configurations plays a key role towards their future take off.

The functional development pursued at our institute includes the automation of procedures with the objective of merging the human operator and the system for efficient and safe mission success. Understanding and explicitly considering the human operator’s needs, capabilities and restrictions is thereby an essential task.
Apart from the functions themselves, the system’s operational environment requires specific care in the design. Aspects like system timing properties need to be considered, representing an area of research on its own. By using model-based design techniques and tool-chains for efficient reduction of manual design tasks like validation and testing, we aim at a lean development life cycle of tomorrow’s flight control systems.

Your responsibilities
We are looking for a PhD candidate for the development of novel automation functions. The design, implementation and verification of innovative functional approaches and algorithms will be your responsibility. You will have the opportunity to gather hands-on experience throughout the entire development lifecycle. In close cooperation with our industrial and academic partners, you will start with the derivation of procedures that capture all aspects of the aircrafts mission. You will design and implement software and proceed with integration and testing in Model-in-the-loop Simulations and our experimental Flight Simulators. Finally, you will have the possibility to participate in flight test campaigns and see the results of your work take off.
