Company description
AFRY offers services in engineering, design, digitalization and consulting. We are dedicated experts in industry, energy and infrastructure, creating value for future generations. AFRY has a global reach with deep roots in the Nordics. Together, we are accelerating the transition to a more sustainable society.
Job description
Do you want to do your thesis in one of the areas of Aeronautics & Space, Sensor Systems, Robust Communication Systems and AI? Or do you have your own thesis idea that you want to discuss with us?
Here at AFRY, we help our clients develop sustainable and safe systems, products and infrastructures - for societies, governments, organizations and industries.
We are looking for you who plan to complete your thesis in the spring of 2026 and who are studying the Master of Science in Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems in Technology and Society, Industrial Economics, IT or equivalent.
The job is suitable for you with an interest in one or more of the areas below:
- Space Technology
- Sensor systems
- Mobile communication systems
- Radio access networks
- Drone technology
- Geographic Information Systems
- Signal/Image Processing
- AI & Data Engineering
- Systems Development
- Embedded Systems
Examples of thesis projects will be presented at the job fairs we participate in and as additions to our social channels.
Each thesis project will contain a balanced mix of learning, theory, analysis, modeling & simulation and evaluation of methods and in some cases be able to test concepts with real data or implement algorithms in demonstrator hardware.
The idea is that the thesis projects partly take a holistic approach to the current system / development platform and partly focus more deeply in a few selected areas in consultation with the supervisor.
We prefer that each thesis project is carried out by two students, where a suitable division into work areas is determined in consultation based on educational focus and interest. A thesis project carried out by a single student can also be discussed. It is possible to apply for the thesis in pairs, but the choice of student(s) will be on an individual basis.
To support you, there will be a team of different experts, with a designated official supervisor.
If you have your own idea for a thesis, we are happy to discuss it and see if it might be suitable for our business and identified needs going forward.
We plan to select 2-4 students for a couple of thesis projects.
Timeline
Starting at the end of January 2026 and completion during the spring (equivalent to 30 credits). The thesis projects are carried out at our office in Uppsala.
Qualifications
You are in the final stage of your education as a civil engineer and have an interest in some of the above-mentioned areas as well as getting to know a large international engineering and design company.
