FUNCTIONAL AVIONICS ENGINEER

DEIMOS is selecting one engineer to be integrated in the Functional Avionics (FAV)Competence Centre in Lisboa or Tres Cantos (Madrid), to support new growth areas in Functional Verification.The work of the FAV Competence Centre is mainly oriented to design avionics architectures especially focused on AOCS subsystems, Functional verification architectures especially for project phases C/D, FDIR definition, interfaces definition to support GNC and Flight Software architects. As a matter of reference, DEIMOS’ activities cover:Satellite formation flying, rendezvous, in orbit servicing (IOS) and active debris removal (ADR)Entry, descent, and landing on planets (Earth, Mars) & natural satellitesLaunch vehiclesEarth observation, up-stream (flight segment) and downstreamInterplanetary exploration and navigationUnmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs, UGVs)System and mission designMain Duties:The following types of responsibilities are envisioned:Hybrid Test bench design/implementation/validationSupport to AOCS test campaign in Hybrid HW/Simulated test benchSupport to procurement of Harness, HW related to AOCS SubsystemAnalysis and documentation to support avionics architecture definition.Support to AIT activitiesThe activities involved may include:Specification and validation AOCS subsystem solutionsAnalysis and trade-off of hardware solutionsInterface with the overall system teamIdeally the candidate is experienced also with the following activities:Model-based design and implementation of GNC/AOCS algorithmsSimulator design, implementation, and testingSimulation of dynamic systemsMathematical modellingSpecification and validation of GNC/AOCS solutionsEducation:A recognized engineering degree (Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Electronic) or a related degree (e.g., Physics, Maths)Professional Experience:Functional Avionics engineer, AOCS/GNC Architect or AIT with 2-5 years’ experience and demonstrated solid technical background in the Aerospace Sector.The position will be tailored to the level of experience and additional industrial experience would be viewed very positively.Technical Requirements:The following capabilities are required for the position:Familiar with V&V campaigns with Earth Observation satellites and/or launchers. Practical experience in aeronautical/aerospace sector especially on Functional avionics (experience in ESA/European programmes is welcome)Capacity to understand new concepts and apply them to engineering problems.Familiar with PIL/HIL test campaignFamiliar with PUS concept and to work under ECSS schemes.Familiar with EGSE and test environments in C/D satellite project phases.Good programming skillsC/C++, Matlab/Simulink, AOCSSome experience in HW AIT/AIV (or in general “like to play with HW”), in V&V cycle, and knowledge of Real Time Environment (e.g. dSpace, Speedgoat, etc.) are a plusA strong background in control and simulation of dynamic systemsDesired: The following capabilities are desired for the post:Experience in flight operations in ESA/European programmesSolid theoretical background in GNC/AOCSBackground on Kalman filteringLanguage Skills:High level of English, spoken andwrittenPersonal Skills:High motivationto learn about complex Engineering SystemsCapability to integrate in and work with a teamfrom different geographical locationsCapability to solve complex problemsInitiative, autonomy, and self-developmentTeam playerRef.: HRRECRUIT-888
