  • Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.
  • Your tasks and responsibilities

    Your core mission is to answer a critical scientific question: How do hybrid CNN/LSTM models perform on space-grade hardware under strict resource constraints of next-generation satellite communications?

    Your tasks will focus on deploying AI models on our next-generation FPGA-based System-on-Chip (SoC) spacecraft processor system. This includes:

    • Analyzing and partitioning the AI model to divide workloads between standard neural processors and custom hardware domains.
    • Exploring the deployment of hybrid CNN/LSTM models on hardware architectures.
    • Optimizing and quantizing the network to drastically reduce memory overhead and power consumption for space deployment.
    • Profiling system performance by measuring real-time execution latency, throughput, and power efficiency under space-grade constraints.
    • Validating model accuracy to ensure the hardware deployment meets strict 5G/6G communication standards.
    • Potential scope includes exploring the development of high-performance C/C++ kernels to accelerate complex, sequential model operations directly on the hardware.

    Desired skills and qualifications

    • Enrolled full-time student (d/f/m), in the area of Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Communications Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or an equivalent field of study.
    • Strong knowledge of deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
    • Proficiency in core programming languages, specifically Python and C/C++.
    • Desire to learn embedded processing platforms and FPGA tools like AMD Xilinx Vitis/Vivado.
    • Excellent written and spoken English for technical documentation and communication; German is a plus.
    • Ability to work independently and cooperate well within a team.
    • Strong problem-solving skills and good attention to detail.
    • Knowledge of satellite communications and/or 5G/6G networks is a plus.

    Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, enrollment certificate.
