**Your Role**
**Modeling Space Program Architectures for Informing Strategic Planning**

How can a space program architecture be represented to support decision-makers in exploring alternatives and informing strategy? The main focus of this PhD will be on the development of a conceptual framework of space program architectures and the more detailed development of a meta model / data model of space program architectures, including the definition of high-level simulation models that are used for sizing technologies, systems, and missions. The methodology is primarily based on a combination of a literature survey and expert reviews to define the conceptual framework and data model. In addition, use cases and case studies are used for validating the resulting models. These use cases are either linked to the current Luxembourg space ecosystem or might even be outside space, e.g. sustainable energy transition.

The expected outcomes of the PhD thesis are threefold:

- A conceptual framework of space program architectures
- A detailed meta model / data model of space program architectures, including simulation models for analyzing the performance of specific missions, systems, and technologies

You will be enrolled in the doctoral school of the University of Luxembourg. Andreas Hein will be the primary supervisor.

You will be involved in the majority of the publications related to the project and will also participate in the development of the prototypes.

Your work will be performed with international collaborators, including major space companies and universities. **The thesis work is expected to be conducted within a duration of 36 to 48 months from start to thesis defense.**

**Your Profile** Experience**: Ideally, you should have some knowledge and experience in some of the following topics:

- Systems engineering or engineering design: Processes, methods, tools for developing complex systems
- Model-Based Systems Engineering (e.g. SysML and associated tools)
- Data modeling, meta modeling, or ontologies
- Multi-disciplinary and multi-objective design optimization
- Fundamentals of space systems

You should have the following aptitudes:

- Teamwork-oriented
- Systems thinking: Holistic thinking, broad interests across disciplinary boundaries;
- Abstract thinking: Able to rapidly grasp abstract concepts
- Excellent analytical skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills

You will be required to perform the following tasks:

- Carrying out research in the predefined areas
- Carrying out lab activities and maintenance in collaboration with other team members
- Disseminating results through scientific publications
- Assisting in the organization of relevant workshops

**Qualification**:You should possess an MSc degree or equivalent in Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or affine.

**Programming Skills**: Experience in Matlab and/or Python is an asset

**Systems Engineering Tools**: Experience with one or more MBSE tools (Cameo, MagicDraw, Capella, etc.) is an asset

**Language Skills**:Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required.

**Here’s what awaits you at SnT**
- **A stimulating learning environment.** Here post-docs and professors outnumber PhD students. That translates into access and close collaborations with some of the brightest ICT researchers, giving you solid guidance
- **Exciting infrastructures and unique labs.** At SnT’s two campuses, our researchers can take a walk on the moon at the LunaLab, build a nanosatellite, or help make autonomous vehicles even better
- **The right place for IMPACT. **SnT researchers engage in demand-driven projects. Through our Partnership Programme, we work on projects with more than 55 industry partners
- **Multiple funding sources for your ideas**. The University supports researchers to acquire funding from national, European and private sources
