Educational Qualification: Bachelors / M.Tech / MS / Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Controls or equivalent
Work Experience: 6+ years of relevant work experience (as a GNC or an AOCS engineer)
Role Description:
This role will contribute towards the development of attitude and orbit control subsystems for a LEO imaging satellite constellation. If you love working at the cutting edge of technology and want to contribute towards making the world a better place by bringing down the benefits of space down to earth, this is the place for you.
Responsibilities & Duties:
- Design, model and develop Attitude Determination and Control system for LEO spacecrafts
- Collaborate with systems and mission teams to scope capabilities and requirements for the AOCS system
- Perform trade studies and select the necessary sensor and actuator suites to meet the subsystem requirements
- Design and implement algorithms to support various pointing modes and attitude control scenarios
- Implement control algorithms into modular, scalable and maintainable mathematical models
- Work with the flight software team to deploy the models against the simulation software
- Develop plans for end-to-end integration, test, and calibration
- Develop and maintain technical documentation for spacecraft AOCS architecture definition, design, and development
- Take end-to-end ownership of the subsystem development from design through implementation, testing, deployment, and commissioning
Desirable Skills & Certifications:
- Solid understanding of satellite systems, orbital mechanics, classical dynamics and the low-earth orbit environment
- Strong understanding of spacecraft control and determination hardware and its implementation
- Experience with orbital manoeuvring theory, flexible body control, sensor/navigation filters, and flight software development
- Proficiency and practical experience developing in Matlab
