Internship Job Description: 

Pursuing Airbus DS continuous improvement policy of the A330 MRTT BOOM automatic control capabilities, the candidate will join a project team in charge of the design and operational evaluation in simulated environment of new automatic boom control capabilities, as well as continuous improvement of existing / certified capabilities, based on in service experience and data. Additionally, operational in service data will be converted through automatic analysis into actionable operational insights, as an input to design improvement and also customer operational support.

- Tasks to be carried out by the student:

1. In service data operational analytics and automation for generation of relevant dashboards.

2. Concept, preliminary design, from high level specification to functional / performance simulation and operational evaluation in Simulated environment, of new boom control automatic capabilities and continuous improvement and optimization of existing capabilities.

3. Architectural analysis, especially regarding SW architecture and functional allocation to Air Refueling Boom System subsystems / equipment.

4. Simulation test requirements, coordination of operational evaluation of modifications with Boom Operators to iterate over the initial design.

5. Improvement of Simulation automatic scenarios for representative operational evaluation.

- Knowledge to be acquired by the student:

1. System concept design, architecture / functional specification process, validation in simulation environment.

2. Incremental boom control automation process.

3. Air to Air Refueling techniques, standards, BOOM system.

4. Advanced data analytics / automation as a key asset in operational support and system / training means continuous improvement.

- Within which projects or areas the internship will be carried out: Air Refueling Boom System automatic control capabilities development, as part of the research and development effort to prepare the next system upgrade enhancing the BOOM A3R, with the goal of reducing human workload while increasing safety and operational efficiency.  

- Specify the tools to be used:

1. Internal data analytics tools, development and automation of analytics scripts in Python, and dashboard/visualization scripts.

2. Matlab, Simulink for systems simulation and analysis.

3. Integration of system simulations into BOOM Simulator environment, aiming at increasing representativity (Simulink, VisualStudio, C++, SEAS).
