Aerospace - AOCS Ingenieur (m/f/d)

AOCS Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for… You!

You

• want to engage in cutting-edge research?
• want to craft something unprecedented?
• embrace challenges and variety without hesitation?

Join our young and extraordinary team today, and contribute to our upcoming missions!

Your future tasks with us include, for example:

• Development, analysis and tuning of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) and Attitude and Orbit Control (AOCS) algorithms for nano- and small-satellite missions
• Development of orbit and formation control strategies for distributed and networked satellite systems
• Modelling and simulation of spacecraft dynamics, orbital environments, sensors and actuators
• Implementation of control and estimation algorithms on embedded systems using C, as well as development of analysis, simulation and test tools using Python
• Design, setup and operation of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches for closed-loop verification with real sensors and actuators
• Integration and verification of AOCS/GNC software and hardware at unit, subsystem and system level
• Support of spacecraft integration, commissioning and in-orbit operations, including analysis of on-orbit performance and telemetry
• Contribution to the development of innovative concepts for autonomous and distributed satellite systems

Our requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or a comparable field
• Solid knowledge of control engineering, state estimation and related methods, such as Kalman filtering
• Good understanding of orbital mechanics and spacecraft attitude dynamics
• Programming experience in C and/or Python, ideally with an interest in embedded systems and scientific or technical software
• Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools such as MATLAB/Simulink
• Interest in hands-on development and testing of spacecraft hardware, software and laboratory test setups
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop systems, test and measurement equipment or spacecraft projects is an advantage
• Experience in the development, integration, testing or operation of space systems is an advantage
• Very good English skills in writing and speaking; German language skills are advantageous

What we offer:

• A technically challenging position at the intersection of research and real space missions
• The opportunity to work on innovative satellite systems from algorithm development and simulation through implementation, testing and in-orbit operations
• Hands-on experience with real spacecraft, sensors, actuators and hardware-in-the-loop test systems
• The opportunity to contribute to distributed satellite systems, formation flying and autonomous spacecraft technologies
• A high degree of autonomy and responsibility in a relaxed and collaborative working environment
• An appreciative, dedicated and international team
• Good opportunities for professional and personal development
