AOCS Engineer

Reflex Aerospace

Berlin or Munich, Germany

Your Mission:

As an AOCS Engineer, you will join our dynamic team responsible for the entire AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control System) subsystem lifecycle - from design to operations.

You will lead the analysis, design, implementation, optimization, and enhancement of spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. Additionally, you will play a key role in our effort to increase vertical integration by developing critical components in-house.

Requirements Derivation: Translate mission and system-level requirements into detailed AOCS subsystem specifications;
Component Evaluation: Performing trade-off studies for component evaluations (e.g., sensors and actuators);
Algorithm Development: Implementing GNC algorithms to support various operational scenarios and pointing modes;
Verification and Validation: Conduct AOCS system verification throughout the lifecycle, including processor-in-the-loop (PIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), Monte Carlo simulations, and AIT;
Code Deployment: Work closely with the flight software team to deploy AOCS software onto the spacecraft's embedded controller.

Your Background:

Strong knowledge in state estimation, control law design, and orbital and classical dynamics;
Proficiency in building complex simulations and dynamic models using MATLAB/Simulink;
Good understanding of satellite systems, mission analysis, and satellite operations;
Solid grasp of spacecraft attitude control and determination hardware, including sensors and actuators;
Experience with model-based design verification: MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL;
Knowledge of embedded software architecture, focusing on real-time control systems, is a plus;
Proven ability to independently solve complex engineering challenges and work effectively in cross-functional teams.
