• Analyse and preprocess diagnostic data from test systems

• Identify characteristic failure patterns and symptom relationships

• Define and compare suitable model architectures for fault detection and isolation (e.g. decision trees, ensemble models, neural networks, clustering approaches, etc.)

• Train and validate models using established ML frameworks (e.g. scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and MATLAB Simulink (e.g. Artificial Intelligence (AI))

• Evaluate model performance using metrics such as detection rate, false alarm rate, and isolation accuracy

• Integrate your approach into an existing analysis pipeline or tool environment

• Document and present your results to stakeholders

• Full time enrolled student (d/f/m) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related field

• Solid understanding of machine learning concepts and data preprocessing

• Practical experience with MATLAB Simulink and ML frameworks (e.g. scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)

• Programming skills (e.g. Python)

• Interest in fault detection, diagnostics, and system testability

• Analytical mindset, structured working style, and ability to work independently

• Basic knowledge of test or diagnostic systems (e.g. FMEA/FMECA) is a plus

• Language skills: English fluent; French basic knowledge
