About the SnT
SnT is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. We play an instrumental role in Luxembourg by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent.
We're looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place
Your Role
The Space System Engineering (SpaSys) research group at SnT is seeking to hire a highly motivated PhD candidate for investigations in the area of large spacecraft formation flight, that is, a swarm consisting of dozens of satellites flying in proximity. You will join the Space System Engineering (SpaSys) research group, led by Prof. Andreas Hein.
The PhD position will be conducted with the HEU Marie-Skłodowska-Curie funded project GLITTER aiming to develop a novel Earth Observation method based on the GNSS-reflectometry method using formations/swarms of CubeSats. The high-resolution bi-static radar remote sensing promises obtaining unparalleled data to better understand the planet and the impact of climate change. The project enables instantaneous international exposure with top-ranked European universities and with industry.
The objective is to investigate the Digital-twin of the spacecraft formation and the ground segment with a focus on:
- Dependencies between the formation flight attitude control needs and those of other subsystems such as power, communication and Earth observation
- To-ground and inter-satellite communications link for synchronization, formation flight coordination and data transfer (different technologies such as CubeSat commercial RF, Wifi, 5G and optical systems will be considered)
- Interplay of onboard data reduction and to-ground/inter-satellite data transfer
- Transition toward Hardware-in-the-Loop system verification, through subsystem facilities available at SnT, toward prototype development
- Carry out your research with collaborators at the SnT and members of the large European GLITTER consortium
- Disseminate your findings at conferences and in journal papers
- Provide assistance in teaching and organizational matters related to GLITTER
Your Profile
- Some experience / knowledge in some of the following areas:
- Modeling and simulating spacecraft subsystems, in particular, attitude control and communications
- Space mission analysis
- Spacecraft formations/swarms
- Space systems engineering
- Hardware-in-the-loop simulation and testing
- Substantial teamworking experience, e.g. via flight projects and competitions
- Substantial international experience is desirable, e.g. via internships, Erasmus, double-degree
Qualification: The candidate should possess an MSc degree or equivalent in Engineering
Programming Skills: Experience with MATLAB/Simulink is an asset
Language Skills: Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required
