About the Role
We are looking for an AOCS Engineer to work with our ADCS and flight dynamics engineers on a SAR satellite constellation. You will work on real subsystem problems for a spacecraft being built and flown, under the guidance of a mentor, and see your analysis feed into actual design and test decisions. What You Will Work On:
• Build and refine ADCS simulations in MATLAB or Python, including sensor and actuator models and control mode behaviour
• Analyse ADCS hardware test data and vendor documentation, and flag limitations or anomalies
• Run orbit propagation and attitude pointing studies relevant to SAR imaging geometry
• Assess how attitude and orbit knowledge errors affect SAR data quality
• Support ADCS integration and testing activities alongside the AIT and Systems teams
• Document your methods and results so the team can reuse them Eligibility:

• Working knowledge of MATLAB or Python Nice to Have:
• University CubeSat or small satellite project experience
• Experience with STK, GMAT, Orekit or similar mission analysis tools
• Familiarity with state estimation (Kalman filtering, residual analysis)
• Interest in SAR or EO missions, GNSS-based orbit determination, or propulsion and attitude interactions Attitude:
• Comfortable working between theory and hardware reality
• Curious, and keen to build understanding from first principles
• Explicit communicator who can explain results to non-specialists What You Will Gain: Hands-on experience on a real satellite programme, direct mentorship from the ADCS team, and a project you can own and present at the end of the internship.
