Job description

All of us want to be Batman... but we know he wouldn'tgetfar without Robin. If you want to start your careerbeing thesidekick of an elite team, Your place is here!

With the increased interest in the cislunar region in the past few years, ourteams in the Space surveillance and Tracking sector are looking for interns tostart their career development with us, participating in Space DomainAwareness and Collision assessment.

We´ll get to the point; we'll tell you what's not on the web. If you want to know more about us go to GMV website

WHAT CHALLENGE WILL YOU BE TAKING ON?

Thegoal of the internship is exploring the methods for collision assessment in the cislunar region. In our team you will study the conjunction detection process from uncertain trajectories and thenthe estimation of the risk assessment under non-linear and non-Gaussian stateand uncertainty conditions in this challenging environment.

The differentactivities that can be envisaged are:

• Bibliographic analysis
• Methods definition and design
• Software implementation of theselected methods
• Execution of simulations(validation, analysis of results, post-treatment...)

WHAT DO WE NEED IN OUR TEAM?

We're looking for anaerospace engineer/mathematics/physics student (or equivalent) with curiosityin research activities, a taste for the scientific method (conscientious andmethodical) and with object-oriented SW development skills and knowledge in :

• Space Dynamics
• Applied mathematics and physics
• Critical Thinking

We will also value previous experience, and knowledge of existingastrodynamics SW tools (PATRIUS, Orekit, GODOT) ; CollisionAvoidance methods and Lunar-basedtrajectories.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

• Totalflexibility to be able to combine the internship with your studies. Yourgraduation is important!
• Realpossibilities to continue with us once the internship is over, making iteasier for you to develop your professional career.
• You will have free days to enjoy. You also deserve a break!
