Start your mission with DLR. The German Aerospace Center DLR has a dual mandate as the national research center for aeronautics and space, and as the space agency of the German federal government. Approximately 8,000 people work for DLR on a uniquely diverse range of topics spanning the fields of aeronautics, space, energy, transportation and security research. They collaborate on projects extending from fundamental research to the development of the innovative applications and products of the future. If the idea of joining a topclass team of researchers working in a supportive, inspirational environment appeals to you, then why not launch your mission with us? For our Department of Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems at the Institute of Space Systems in Bremen we wish to recruit for the Development, Simulation, Test, and Verification of Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems for Space Applications Three Engineers in the Field of Embedded Systems, AerospaceSpace Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Electronics, or similar Your Mission 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 stateoftheart methods of multidisciplinary 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 analysissimulationverification, and hardwareintheloop testing. The GNC Systems Department is also conducting research and development of promising and strategic technologies for AOCS and GNC systems. The GNC Systems Department is involved into the Mission to the Moon of PTScientists, the first European Moon landing mission, as an official partner. The mission objective is to be the first private company to safely land a spacecraft on the Moon, to explore the area around the Apollo 17 landing site with two rovers, and to send pictures and videos down to Earth. In the frame of this project, the GNC Systems Department leads the development of the GNC subsystem as scientific partner. The work comprises the development of optical navigation technologies, the controller synthesis for descent and soft landing, the optimization of the landing trajectory as well as the comprehensive verification of all associated elements. Within this context, we are looking for scientific staff members to conduct the following tasks within the GNC Appliances Research Group Development, test, and verification of hard and software elements of embedded systems Specification, selection, and procurement of components for GNC systems Development, implementation, and validation of simulation models and realtime simulation systems Characterization and modelling of sensors and actuators Conception, development, setup, and operation of measurement, experimental, or simulation setups for GNC systems in all development phases Verification and validation of simulations, algorithms, and software Integration of components and systems, support of systemlevel AIVAIT processes Production, technical review, and auditing of scientific and technical documentation Derivation and monitoring of requirements for the development processes Documentation, presentation, and publication of results Supervision of student internships, project and semester reports, and theses Commitment to group activities such as maintenance and development of laboratories, development and improvement of procedures, knowledge management, or acquisition of external funding Your Qualifications Required Successfully completed university degree on masters level or equivalent according to 7 II Tarifvertrag ber die Entgeltordnung des Bundes TV EntgO Bund in the domain of embedded systems, aerospacespace engineering, mechatronics, computer science, electronics, or similar Knowledge about usual hard and software architectures of embedded systems Good programming skills in C, C, and MATLABSimulink as well as good knowledge of the software development process for embedded systems crosscompiling toolchains, debugging, profiling, etc. Experiences with modelling and simulation of sensors and actuators as well as with implementation, validation, and execution of realtime simulations e.g. with dSPACE systems Fluent in written and spoken English, ideally with work experience abroad Conformance with the personal requirements for handling of export controlled goods and information according to German, European and American export control laws Willingness to domestic and international travels on official business Desired Knowledge and Experiences Generation of CC code for embedded systems out of MATLABSimulink using MATLABSimulink Coder and Embedded Coder Development of technical systems for space applications according to spacetypical norms and standards e.g. ECSS Handling and programming of microcontrollers and FPGAs Knowledge in the domain of electrical engineering, analog and digital electronics practical experience with developing electronic assemblies as well as with measurement technology for electronics development Knowledge in the domain of mechanical engineering and the development of draft conceptions for mechanical systems using CAD software e.g., CATIA V5, Inventor Experience with Linux operating systems ideally Ubuntu and version control systems e.g. Git, Subversion Practical experience with writing scientific and technical documents with LaTeX Scientific publications articles in peerreviewed journals, conference contributions, etc. Supervision of student seminar papers and theses Mastery of written and spoken German is an advantage Experience and successes with acquisition of external funding Your Benefits Look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development. Our unique infrastructure offers you a working environment in which you have unparalleled scope to develop your creative ideas and accomplish your professional objectives.
