  • Performing engineering analyses, modelling, and simulation to assess GNC/AOCS performance
  • Leading trade-offs, sizing, and architecture definition of AOCS subsystems
  • Defining and driving spacecraft GNC architecture in line with mission requirements
  • Managing key system budgets (delta-V, momentum, pointing performance)
  • Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary project teams
  • Coordinating and reviewing external partners' technical contributions
  • Supporting system engineering plans, design documentation, and verification strategies
  • Producing technical documentation for internal and external reviews
  • Supporting AIT/AIV and qualification activities, with a focus on AOCS
  • Interfacing with quality and configuration control processes

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Space Engineering, or similar
  • ~5+ years' experience in a comparable role within the space sector
  • Strong team player with a proactive, hands-on mindset
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, international environments
  • Excellent communication skills in English
  • Deep knowledge of spacecraft sensors, actuators, and propulsion systems (chemical, cold gas, electric)
  • Strong understanding of pointing performance metrics (APE, RPE, AKE)
  • Solid grasp of spacecraft architecture, mission phases, and orbital/attitude dynamics
  • Experience developing AOCS simulations and performance analyses
  • Familiarity with momentum management strategies
  • Experience integrating AOCS/GNC solutions within spacecraft systems
  • Knowledge of ECSS standards and tailoring
  • Hands-on experience with environmental and functional testing campaigns

Nice to have

  • End-to-end AOCS development through to in-orbit operations
  • Experience with proximity operations or advanced mission profiles
  • Exposure to ESA project reviews
  • Real-time spacecraft operations and commissioning experience
  • Strong GNC algorithm development (navigation, guidance, control)
  • Experience with FDIR strategies
  • Proficiency in Matlab, Simulink, Python, and C/C++
