Job description:

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 research and development activities of the include conception, development, implementation, simulation, testing, and verification of GNC systems for space applications. This also includes system and simulation technology for the entire development cycle of GNC applications, as well as the aspects of high availability and high reliability of systems. The department also operates laboratories and facilities for testing and verifying GNC systems.

Within this context, we are looking for scientific staff members to conduct the following tasks:

• integration, testing and verification of embedded systems
• specification, selection and procurement of components for GNC systems
• development and implementation of simulation models for real-time simulation systems
• characterization of sensors and actuators
• design, development, setup and operation of test setups for GNC systems
• assembly and integration of components and systems
• management and development of products (components or subsystems)
• documentation, presentation, and publication of results
• commitment to department activities such as maintenance and development of laboratories, development and improvement of procedures, knowledge management, or acquisition of external funding

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
