Description of the job

Airbus Safran Launchers (Les Mureaux) is looking for an intern (m/f) for a 6-month internship.

European leader for Defence and Space, Airbus Safran Launchers is responsible for developing space systems (launchers). The smooth running of the mission of these vehicles is based, among other things, on flight control, and more specifically on CNG systems.

Within the Flight Control department, you will join the "Navigation Methods" team which is in charge of the design and justification of navigation algorithms (inertia, radio navigation, optic, etc.), as well as the overall performance assessment of the launcher's precision.

You will more specifically be in charge of the research and development studies on the hybridisation between inertial sensors and radio navigation receivers (GPS), which represent a major challenge for launcher systems.

This internship will start on 1st March 2017 (subject to some flexibility).
