**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.
**Your Role**:
The current servitization of space is introducing profound change, challenging established companies with new business models, and significantly lowering the entry barrier to space. New types of services such as Mission-as-a-Service, Satellite-as-a-Service, Constellation-as-a-Service, etc., are emerging at a rapid pace. This is just the beginning. The future might see a space infrastructure on which new space services could be built at low cost and risk, similar to business models enabled by the internet, cloud computing, etc. on Earth. Key enablers for such an infrastructure are communications and data infrastructures and new computing approaches such as edge computing, fog computing, cloud computing. These combined services and infrastructure elements (also called product-service system) could also lead to significant sustainability benefits via replacing physical products by services. Instead of developing a spacecraft which would impact the environment via its production, launch and space debris, various space assets and their capacities are efficiently used, reducing the environmental impact significantly (e.g. constellation shared between multiple users instead of each one launching a separate constellation). However, these new space services and infrastructure are largely unexplored to date, despite their huge potential.
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a systems architecting approach for new space services and infrastructure to enable their systematic design and assessing their potential sustainability impact. This objective requires the execution of the following subtasks:
- Survey the existing literature on space and terrestrial product-service systems, service engineering, service design research in order to transfer these concepts and design approaches to space;
- Survey emerging space technologies for novel space services and infrastructure, e.g. communication (e.g. 5G, 6G, distributed antennae), computing paradigms (e.g. edge computing, fog computing, cloud computing);
- Development of a tailored systems architecting approach for new space services and infrastructure;
- A sustainability-oriented evaluation approach, in order to assess the economic, environmental, and societal impact of new space services and infrastructure;
- Design specific combined new space services and infrastructure elements, e.g. services based on novel communications (e.g. 5G, 6G) and computing approaches in space, e.g. edge computing, fog computing, cloud computing.
**Your Profile**:
- Systems engineering / service engineering / engineering design: Processes, methods, tools for developing complex systems and services
- Model-Based Systems Engineering (e.g. SysML and associated tools)
- Multi-disciplinary and multi-objective design optimization
- Product service systems, service engineering, service design
- Sustainability: environmental life cycle assessment, eco-design etc.
- Fundamentals of astronautics, astrodynamics
- Fundamentals of (tele)communications engineering and computing
- Systems thinking: Holistic thinking, broad interests across disciplinary boundaries;
- Abstract thinking: Able to rapidly grasp abstract concepts
- Excellent analytical skills
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
The position holder 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
**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 sourc
