For our Institute of Space Systems in Bremen we are looking for a
Engineer Aerospace/Space Engineering, Control Engineering, Mathematics or similar (f/m/x)
Development of Technologies for Navigation Systems for Space Applications
What to expect:
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 GNC Systems Department is actively involved in several internal and international projects. This encompasses among others the project ReFEx (Reusability Flight Experiment), the project CALLISTO – an international cooperation between DLR and the space agencies JAXA (Japan) und CNES (France), and the EU H2020 project EURISA with partners in France and Switzerland. The work comprises the development of navigation technologies for different space flight applications.
Within this context, we are looking for scientific staff members to conduct the following tasks within the Navigation Research Group:
What we expect from you:
What we offer:
DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
