Airbus UpNext Internship 2024 - Simulator 3D-visualization development

Job Description:

At Airbus UpNext, we explore technology for sustainable, autonomous and connected applications in flight. By doing so, we are actively shaping the future of the aerospace industry.

We use demonstrators as the principal means of evaluating, maturing and validating new radical technological breakthroughs. We not only integrate and test the technology but help shape the foundations for infrastructure and flight regulations, enabling Airbus in its aim for a better-connected, safer and more prosperous world.

Our eXtra Performance Wing demonstrator using a Cessna Citation VII business jet platform, will test wing aerodynamics and performance to reduce future aircraft CO₂ emissions. Next step? The integration of some very special wings inspired by nature!

This internship will ideally begin in winter/spring 2024 (date subject to flexibility), and will last for a period of 4 to 6 months.

In order to better support this development and training activities, the existing 3D-visualization of the simulator must be improved and customized.

Mission

Being integrated in the development team, you will work closely with the modeling and simulation team and you will develop a realistic environment for the simulator visualization : 

  • Development of a 3-D model of the aircraft, including the UpNext livery, animated movables (flight control surfaces, landing gear, etc…)

  • Update of the HUD plugin to match the HUD baseline design

Your boarding pass

What you bring:

With a bachelor or master’s degree in computer graphics and/or video game development, you will be able to demonstrate the following skills and competencies:

  • Knowledge in 3D models creation & OpenGL, C++

  • Keen on flight simulation & knowledge of X-Plane are a plus

  • Keen to take initiatives to propose simpler and efficient ways of working

  • Autonomy, Adaptability, Availability, Accountability

  • Team-Player mindset

  • Hands-on and solution oriented attitude

  • Passion about technology, science
