You will work on a project of one of our clients in the Aerospace sector. You will work on the client location in Noordwijk and  you will support the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. 

 

You will support to the client section for the development of GNC systems for interplanetary and exploration spacecraft as well as GNC for space transportation systems. This comprises GNC for interplanetary cruise, aero assistance, rendezvous and docking, formation flying, or drag-free systems as well as GNC for ascent and re-entry vehicles.

 

 

Your role   

Functional support, which includes:

·  Participation to project reviews (SRR, PDR CDR, …)
·  GNC design, analyses and simulations (control loops design and modelling, FDIR,Independent simulator set-up, functional verification and performance budgets)
·  GNC SW implementation
·  Sensors and actuators selection and procurement support
·  AIV/AIT support (test benches, review of test plans and test results)
·  Operations support (review of Operations Manual, rehearsal and LEOP)
·  Support to in-orbit analysis

 

Other tasks: 

·  Specific tasks address the multi-disciplinary/physics and high-fidelity End to End vehicle dynamics modelling with implementation in 6DoF simulation environments (Matlab, Simulink, DSpace)
·  Mastering of advanced multivariable GNC design and verification approaches for the stability and performance robustness analysis is a prerequisite
·  Daily support and independent expert analyses shall be provided to the development of ongoing and future orbiters and space transportation systems
·  Specific GNC design tasks shall include detailed dynamics, environment, actuator, and sensor system modelling
·  Perform system sizing, requirements capture, architecture conception, advanced GNC design as well as performance and SW validation analyses
·  Support to the conception of new highly auto
