About us:
Are you looking to gain hands-on experience in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research Do you want to discover the daily work of an AI researcher and data scientist If so we invite you to apply for a placement with the Airbus Central Research and Technology team.
As a valued member of our team you will gain insight into our research on next-generation AI and data science solutions. You will collaborate on challenges across all Airbus divisions within a dynamic and international team working together across multiple countries. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and develop your skills in a professional environment.
What you will be doing:
During your placement you will gain an insight into our research on 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.
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. The skills you will develop will vary depending on the needs of the business your own interests and the expertise available on the team.
Working in a research team your focus will be on contributing to solving hard problems and creating proofs of concepts rather than implementing or optimizing existing solutions. You will work alongside highly educated scientists (often PhD level) with industrial experience as well as collaborating with other parts of the business and academic and other industry partners.
You will gain experience in working with AI frameworks and workflows as well as cloud computing web services etc. Training and onboarding will be provided but you find it easier joining us if you have some understanding of or experience with: Python; TensorFlow; PyTorch; Keras; and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
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.
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.
*Your application should include a CV along with a Cover Letter outlining your motivation and suitability for the role.*
Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate the following:
- Studying towards a degree in Artificial Intelligence Computer Science Computer Engineering Data Science Mathematics Statistics Physics or equivalent;
- Experience in Python programming and use of common packages like Pandas Matplotlib Plotly Networkx etc...;
- Knowledge of decision making algorithms;
- Ability to summarize findings in technical reports;
- You are a good team player have excellent communication skills and are able to work independently.
SECURITY CLEARANCE: You will be subject to a BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) check. You may also need to gain UK SC-level Security Clearance or Export Control depending on the role.
