PNT Systems Evolution Intern — Galileo/EGNOS R&D

European Space Agency - ESA; Noordwijk; Hybride; EUR 12 000 - 18 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

European Space Agency (ESA) invites university students to join the Galileo and EGNOS Programme Department for a hybrid internship at ESTEC in Noordwijk, Netherlands. You will work on GNSS evolution, multi-layer PNT concepts, simulations and algorithm development, collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams across space and ground segments.

This role offers hands-on experience in defining PNT architectures, testing new concepts, and contributing to future Galileo, EGNOS and EU LEO-PNT

Qualifications

• You must be a university student, preferably in your final or penultimate year of a Master’s degree and able to be enrolled for the full duration of the internship.
• You should demonstrate a good working knowledge of English (or French) as working languages.
• A background in electrical/telecommunications/aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, computer science or physics is desirable.
• Experience with Python, MATLAB or similar scientific programming environments is a plus.
• You should have an interest in evolving space systems and exploring new concepts and technologies.

Responsabilités

• Review the state of the art in GNSS evolution, multi-layered PNT concepts and related ESA trial results.
• Define or refine PNT concepts combining GNSS with terrestrial/non-terrestrial networks and sensors.
• Develop simulations, receiver models and processing algorithms to improve system performance.
• Implement and improve user-receiver algorithms that fuse GNSS with other signals and sensors.
• Set up simulations and laboratory tests, process measurements and assess positioning performance.
• Document methods, configurations and results and present findings to the team.
