Research Fellow in AI-Enabled Flight Deck Systems Integration and Validation . Fixed Term Contract for 37 months or until 30 April 2030, whichever is sooner . Full time starting salary is normally in the range of £38,655 to £46,492 per annum, with potential progression up to £53,108 per annum . Location: Cranfield, Bedfordshire . Help us bring four strands of AI research together into one working flight-deck assistant, and test it with airline pilots in our research flight simulator. About the Role . TRUST-IA is a research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme and coordinated by Cranfield, with university partners in Germany and France, and Rolls-Royce. It is developing an intelligent assistant to help airline pilots manage the engines, both in normal flight and when an engine fails. The assistant has four parts, each developed by a different partner: software that decides how the assistant should behave; monitoring of aircraft and engine condition; monitoring of the pilots; workload and trust from physiological and behavioural measures; and interaction through voice, gesture and mixed reality. You will bring these parts together in Cranfield’s Future Systems Simulator. You will build the software platform and automated tests that let them run as one system in real time, set up the fligh
