Senior AOCS/GNC Engineer

About the role

You will lead the analysis, design, implementation, optimization, and enhancement of spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. Additionally, you will play a key role in our effort to increase vertical integration by developing critical components in-house.

What you'll do

• Translate mission and system-level requirements into detailed AOCS subsystem specifications.
• Perform trade-off studies for component evaluations (e.g., sensors and actuators).
• Implement GNC algorithms to support various operational scenarios and pointing modes.
• Conduct AOCS system verification throughout the lifecycle, including processor-in-the-loop (PIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), Monte Carlo simulations, and AIT.
• Work closely with the flight software team to deploy AOCS software onto the spacecraft's embedded controller.

What you'll need

• Strong knowledge in state estimation, control law design, and orbital and classical dynamics.
• Proficiency in building complex simulations and dynamic models using MATLAB/Simulink.
• Good understanding of satellite systems, mission analysis, and satellite operations.
• Solid grasp of spacecraft attitude control and determination hardware, including sensors and actuators.
• Experience with model-based design verification: MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL.
• Proven ability to independently solve complex engineering challenges and work effectively in cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of embedded software architecture, focusing on real-time control systems.

What they offer

• Company-sponsored Urban Sports Club membership and public transport discount.
• Annual training budget of 1,500 EUR.
• 20% contribution to private pension plan.
• Hybrid work model with flexible working hours.
• 30 days paid vacation plus company holiday on April 12th.
• Permanent employment contract.
