Background Isolation Forest and K-means are popular unsupervised machine learning algorithms used for anomaly detection, that can be used for identifying outliers or anomalies in datasets from logging or recording. The threshold levels are critical to determine if the identified anomalies should indicate a problem or not.Description of the ThesisThis MSc thesis project aims at investigating how unsupervised ML algorithms can be used to identify problems in simulators for large-scale and complex systems. The study shall include a study of related previous work, interviews with senior engineers in software development at Saab Aeronautics, and evaluation using one or several ML models relevant for anomaly detection.Your profileThis Master Thesis is suitable for one or two students, with interest in software development and software testing. You are at the end of your Master of Science in e.g. Computer Science and Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management, or Information Technology and about to start your Master Thesis work for 30 HPA suitable start time for the work is in January 2026.This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around/of security protection. For positions requiring security clearance additional obligations on citizenship may apply.What you will be a part ofThe Aircraft Simulation is a part of Development Simulator area and is responsible for developing and supplying a realistic simulation of the JAS 39 Gripen that is used for both development of the aircraft and for pilot training purposes.
