Engineer Aerospace Technology, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering or similar (f/m/x)
The Institute of Space Systems in Bremen designs and analyzes future spacecraft and space missions (launchers, orbital and exploration systems, and satellites), and assesses them with regard to their technical performance and cost. It applies state-of-the-art methods of multi-disciplinary engineering in system design and analysis – for example, a computerized system for concurrent design. The Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems Department focuses on the capability to analyze, design, develop, implement, simulate, test, and verify attitude and orbit control systems (AOCS) / guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems for space applications and their components. This involves a range of disciplines, including requirements management, systems engineering, algorithm development, software implementation, systems analysis/simulation/verification, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. The GNC Systems Department is also conducting research and development of promising and strategic technologies for AOCS and GNC systems.
The research and development activities of the include conception, development, implementation, simulation, testing, and verification of GNC systems for space applications. This also includes system and simulation technology for the entire development cycle of GNC applications, as well as the aspects of high availability and high reliability of systems. The department also operates laboratories and facilities for testing and verifying GNC systems.
Within this context, we are looking for scientific staff members to conduct the following tasks:
- integration, testing and verification of embedded systems
- specification, selection and procurement of components for GNC systems
- development and implementation of simulation models for real-time simulation systems
- characterization of sensors and actuators
- design, development, setup and operation of test setups for GNC systems
- assembly and integration of components and systems
- management and development of products (components or subsystems)
- documentation, presentation, and publication of results
- commitment to department activities such as maintenance and development of laboratories, development and improvement of procedures, knowledge management, or acquisition of external funding
- successfully completed university degree on master's level or equivalent (according to § 7 II Tarifvertrag über die Entgeltordnung des Bundes – TV EntgO Bund) in the domain of Aerospace Technology, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Electronics or similar
- experience in the execution and implementation of experiments and systems for system identification and verification of flight guidance, navigation and control systems for space applications or comparable systems
- experience or knowledge in product management and product development
- experience or knowledge of laboratory operations, including the preparation of risk assessments and operating instructions for hazardous systems and substances, as appropriate
- good programming skills in MATLAB, Simulink or Python or C, C++
- knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering and the creation of mechanical designs using CAD software (e.g. CATIA V5, Inventor)
- fluent in written and spoken English, ideally with work experience abroad
- conformance with the personal requirements for handling of export-controlled goods and information according to German, European and American export control laws
- willingness to domestic and international travels on official business
- knowledge in the field of electrical engineering/electronics, analogue and digital technology as well as practical experience in the development of electronic assemblies and handling measurement technology is an advantage
- experience with simulation of sensors and actuators as well as the implementation of real-time simulations (e.g. with dSPACE systems)
- working with Linux operating systems (preferably Ubuntu) and Git/Subversion repositories is desired
- practical experience with writing scientific and technical documents with LaTeX
- scientific publications (articles in peer-reviewed journals, conference contributions, etc.)
- supervision of student seminar papers and theses
- mastery of written and spoken German is an advantage
