Job Description

Are you looking for an internship? Would you like to discover the work of an engineer?  Then apply now! We look forward to you joining us as an intern (m/f) (35 hours/week, flexi-time).

Location: Friedrichshafen

Start: March/April 2021

LISA is the first space mission to establish the new field of gravitational wave astronomy, observing highly energetic events within the entire event horizon of our universe. As the instrument is distributed over a constellation of three spacecraft with ultra-high relative measurement precision needs, LISA is among the most ambitions missions ever flown. Nevertheless, developments for ground based observatories, a long mission formulation phase as well as the very successful precursor mission LISA Pathfinder, have pushed this observatory into the range of today's technical capabilities.

You will support the development and verification of LISA end-to-end performance simulation environment for the LISA mission (single-spacecraft, constellation and on-ground data processing models).

Tasks:

· 
Development of spacecraft and constellation models including actuator, sensing, environment models.

· 
Development and integration of the ground processing algorithms.

· 
Validation and verification of the simulation environment (equations of motion, models).

· 
Preparation of the simulation environment for the mission implementation phase, including SVF and RTB test benches.

· 
Verification of the LISA end-to-end performance against the mission level requirements.

You offer:

· 
Enrolled student within Aeronautical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering  or similar field of study

· 
Relevant experience with Matlab/Simulink (Modelling and Verification) is a requirement.

· 
Experience with C++ would be an asset.

· 
Good level in control engineering would be an asset.

· 
Languages: English is mandatory, German would be an asset.

You are a good team player, have excellent communication skills, and are able to work independently.
