Job Description:

‍

In order to support the research on Artificial Intelligence for future applications in the aerospace sector, Airbus Central Research & Technology within Airbus Defence and Space is looking for an

Intern within Quantum-Inspired Methods for AI Model Optimization (d/f/m)

‍

Are you looking for such an internship and want to get to know more about the work of a Quantum Computing and AI research scientist at Airbus?  Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in the group-wide Research team as an intern (d/f/m)!

• Location: Taufkirchen
• Start: March 2026
• Duration: 6 months

‍

Traditional Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, particularly complex deep neural networks, are often resource intensive, demanding significant computational power and memory for both training and inference. This presents a considerable challenge to the deployment of such large models in real time or resource constrained environments which are often the case in aerospace applications.

‍

This internship, within the Central Research and Technology at Airbus in Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen, therefore offers a unique opportunity to support a project focused on the application of Quantum-Inspired Methods for AI model Compression and Optimization. The internship will involve supporting the research team in exploring the theoretical benefits and practical implementation of techniques like Tensor Networks (TNs) for Vision model Optimization.
