Impel Talent is excited to partner with a one of the largest space companies in Europe on building a team focused on the GNC strategy for a unmanned, state-of-the-art reusable space vehicle. This is the opportunity to work on ground breaking technology
You will be in charge of coordinating the Orbital GNC and Navigation unit, leading a team of 3-4 people to design, validate and qualify GNC algorithms for orbital platforms, service modules and navigation units
Responsibilities:
- Derivation of GNC/AOCS specifications from high-level requirement
- R&D relating to algorithms in the field of control, pointing and navigation
- Writing/modifying SW prototypes, Modeling of dynamics, disturbances and complex systems (6dof model and multibody)
- Drafting validation plans for test campaigns, including Hardware-In-The-Loop test campaigns. Verification of performances in closed and open loop
The following management activities fall within the role:
– Coordination of resources and planning of AOCS & NAV team activities
– Coordination with the different Technical Authorities of the various disciplines
– Interface with external teams, both institutional (ESA, ASI) and commercial (Subcos)
– Management of the formal flow of activities for the preparation of the different reviews
You will report directly to the team leader of the MGS group (Flight Mechanics / GNC /
Flight Software).
Technical Requirements:
- master degree in aerospace or aeronautical engineering;
- years of experience in projects related to GNC design/validation of satellite systems/orbital platforms/navigation;
- Solid basic preparation transversal to the various disciplines of the aerospace field (orbital flight mechanics, GNC, solid and liquid propulsion, structures, thermal)
If you are interested apply immediately as interviews begin Mid-January. In case you have questions please reach out to Nathaniel – Nathaniel.Chapman@impeltalent.com
