Description of the job

Airbus Helicopters (Marignane) is looking for an intern (m/f) for a 6-month internship.

Within the context of the development of installed avionic systems on helicopters, automated test tools have been developed and require changes enabling them to increase their effectiveness.

Your internship will involve studying the possibility of expanding the current method of visual analysis of the information displayed on control screens of modern helicopters.

These visually fluctuating information over time must be detected and analysed. These video recordings can come from various sources, either acquired and recorded during flight, or produced on a system integration bench based on a test procedure.

You will join the methods/process and innovation team and you will work with certain other teams of the ETXSE department.

This internship will start on 31st March 2017 (subject to some flexibility).
