GNC Modelling and Simulation Engineer DEIMOS is selecting one engineer to be integrated in the GNC/AOCS Competence Centre of the Flight Systems Business Unit, to develop Modelling and Simulation solutions. These assets will support the growth and maturation of the areas in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), including Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS), and Failure Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR).
The work of the GNC/AOCS Competence Centre is oriented to the design, development, specification, and validation of autonomous systems, including GNC and AOCS systems, for a broad range of aerospace and aeronautical platforms.
Modelling and simulation are key activities for attaining accurate, computationally efficient environments that support the development and validation of GNC/AOCS solutions. The quality of the models and simulation environment ensures the high fidelity of the GNC results, and delivers a validation framework with representativeness close to real flight conditions.
As a matter of reference, DEIMOS' activities cover:
Satellite formation flying, rendezvous, in-orbit servicing (IOS) and active debris removal (ADR) Entry, descent, and landing on planets (Earth, Mars) & natural satellites Launch vehicles Earth observation, up-stream (flight segment) and downstream Interplanetary exploration and navigation Unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs, UGVs) System and mission design Main Duties: The following types of responsibilities are envisioned:
Specification, design, implementation, and validation of environmental, spacecraft, sensor and actuator dynamics, to be applied to Earth-observation, interplanetary, and ADR/IOS satellites, among others, and/or Specification, design, implementation, and validation of environmental, spacecraft, sensor and actuator dynamics, to be applied to satellites, launchers, and re-entry vehicles, among others, and/or Development and maintenance of tools for model validation and versioning; Support to CC wide strategies for code re-usability and scalability; The activities involved may include:
Specification and validation of simulation and modelling solutions, Mathematical modelling and development of dynamic systems of actuator, sensors, and vehicle, launchers and spacecrafts; Extension and adaptation of the simulation models according to manufacturer specifications, Simulation infrastructure scalability, maintenance, and production Analysis and trade-off of hardware solutions Interface with the overall system team Technical management Education: Required: A recognized engineering degree (Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Electronic) or a related degree (e.g., Physics, Maths)
