Description

Deine Mission As part of our Systems Engineering Team in Munich, Germany, you will contribute to the development of internal competence on micro-gravity propellant gauging for upcoming In-Orbit Refueling infrastructure vehicles. This role provides an opportunity to develop systems thinking, along with experience on technology research and maturation, while working closely with a multidisciplinary team. The position is planned for a duration of 3 - 6 months, with the possibility of extension and future employment. We offer this position as an Internship or Master’s thesis / Semester project, with the exact topic tailored to the candidate’s interests and strengths, or as semester project. Your role will include: Investigation of Sensor-Based Approaches for Flow-Phase Identification and Propellant Quantity Estimation in Space. · Literature research and assessment of state-of-the-art methods for propellant mass gauging in microgravity (0-g) environments. Investigate and develop approaches for flow-phase recognition and monitoring in spacecraft fluid systems. Evaluate solutions against system requirements. Perform analytical and numerical studies using industry-standard tools (CATIA, 3dx, Python/C++). Compare different sensing and measurement approaches with respect to accuracy, robustness, complexity, and cost. Support to integrate proposed solutions in a ground orbital refuelling demonstrator architecture. Document findings and propose recommendations for internal competence development. Present results to project stakeholders and support future technology maturation activities (TRL advancement) Dein Profil Enrolled in a Master’s in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems engineering, or a related field Passion for creating a new spaceflight paradigm (space logistics and orbital refueling). Basic Knowledge of space- and fluidic systems Familiarity with electrical, fluidic and thermal considerations, and space materials is expected Strong analytical and communication skills Proactive, structured, and able to work independently and in a team High motivation to work independently Warum wir? Wir bieten Immediate and flexible start Flexible working hours Potential for a Master’s project and/or full-time employment afterwards Empowerment and independence, with mentoring and access to industry experts for academic success.
