• Duration: 6 months

"The team Human Factors and Ergonomics in Cockpit Design is responsible for the development of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for different platforms such as helicopters, UAM or drones. The associated process covers requirements engineering, HMI design, specification, assessments for validation and verification and certification.

The main objective of this internship is to gain detailed information in the field of operating external mission lights in a helicopter and develop an HMI concept for it. In current helicopters various external mission lights are existing and are used by different operators with varying mission profiles. Therefore you will tackle the question of simplification and harmonization of a future interface in the cockpit."

Your location

At our Donauwörth site, located on the banks of the river Danube, we develop helicopters from the initial idea to the airworthy product. Watch them take off and touch down on our own on-site test airfield.
