  • Analyse system behaviour and contribute to tuning and optimisation
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure robust integration

Requirements:

  • Degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Control Systems, or a related engineering discipline
  • Proven experience in GNC algorithm design and implementation
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for algorithm development and testing
  • Strong foundation in applied mathematics, control theory, and estimation methods
  • Experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment

Desirable but not essential:
