This role involves designing and optimizing the architecture, algorithms, and integration of sensors and actuators to maintain precise satellite orientation. Key tasks include developing advanced control algorithms, modeling system performance, integrating ADCS hardware, and validating functionality through simulations and testing. Post-launch, the role supports on-orbit operations, including calibration, manoeuvre planning, and troubleshooting to ensure mission success.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the development and evolution of the spacecraft ADCS architecture, including the design and integration of sensors, actuators, reaction wheels, magnetoquers and control algorithms to achieve mission requirements
Design and implement advanced ADCS algorithms to support various pointing modes and attitude control scenarios, ensuring precise control over satellite orientation and stability
Perform detailed sensor and actuator characterization, modeling, and simulation to predict system performance and optimize the design
Specify, evaluate, and select ADCS components, including reaction wheels, magnetorquers, star trackers, IMUs, and sun sensors
Develop and execute hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, ground-based simulations, and in-orbit commissioning to validate ADCS performance
Support on-orbit guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system calibration, commissioning, and operations, including maneuver planning and fault management
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Minimum of 2-5 years of experience in spacecraft attitude determination and control, with hands-on experience in the development, testing, and operation of ADCS systems
Strong knowledge of ADCS components and systems, including sensors (IMUs, magnetometers, star trackers) and actuators (reaction wheels, magnetorquers)
Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems development, with experience in Python and MATLAB for simulation and data processing
Solid understanding of closed-loop control systems, orbital mechanics, and spacecraft dynamics
Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, satellite simulation, and ADCS algorithm validation
Nice to have:
A Master’s degree is preferred
Experience with GNC systems is a significant plus
Familiarity with version control systems such as Git
