At Indra Deimos, we're on a mission to revolutionize space technology. With projects for the European Space Agency (ESA) and the commercial market, we develop cutting-edge solutions for space systems. Join a team where innovation meets excellence, and your contributions shape the future of space exploration.
What's the challenge?
As a GNC/AOCS Engineer, you will be integrated into our GNC/AOCS Competence Centre within the Flight Systems Business Unit. You will support new growth areas in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), including Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS), and Failure Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR).
Your contributions will include:
Designing, implementing, and validating AOCS and FDIR algorithms for Earth-observation, interplanetary, and ADR/IOS satellites
Designing, implementing, and validating GNC and FDIR algorithms for satellites, launchers, and re-entry vehicles
Specifying and supporting the procurement of sensors and actuators for GNC and AOCS systems
Model-based design implementation of GNC/AOCS algorithms
Designing, implementing, and testing simulators
Simulating dynamic systems and creating mathematical models
Specifying and validating GNC/AOCS solutions
Analyzing and making trade-offs for hardware solutions
Interfacing with the overall system team
Managing technical tasks and team responsibilities
