The Institute of Space Systems in Bremen is dedicated to designing and analyzing future spacecraft and space missions, including launchers, orbital and exploration systems, and satellites. Our evaluations focus on the technical feasibility, performance and costs of these systems, utilizing a range of cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary engineering methods.
What to expect
The research activities of the department extend to the introduction of novel systems engineering methods into the inhouse processes and the digitization of its tool chains. This includes research regarding Model-Based Systems Engineering, AIT-information database concepts and augmented reality applications for the spacecraft integration process as well as semantic web technologies for data aggregation.
Within this context, we are looking for a working student supporting us with various field of research (and beyond) within the department.
Your tasks
- Model based systems engineering: Develop and maintain SysML (v2) models for a spacecraft system including interfaces and processes modeling
- Process integration & automation: support operational tooling (procedures, checklists, simulations) for payload and system integration, maintenance and digital twin execution
- Digital twin & virtual work spaces: Support build-up of modular digital twin infrastructure (e.g. implementing and using system analysis models, creating data pipelines) and virtual integration environments that enable collaborative system development across DLR and partners
- Sustainability engineering: Gather LCI parameters from documents and buildup lifecycle models in openLCA for spacecraft sustainability analysis
Your profile
- enrolled Master’s student in a relevant field (engineering with a focus on systems engineering, computer science, data science, etc.)
- Familiarity with Model based Systems Engineering (MBSE) concepts and tools (e.g., Cameo, Sparx)
- comfortable with scripting (Python, SQL)
- Hands on experience with SysML modeling (system, interface, process layers) (ideally SysML v2)
- Understanding of general spacecraft development processes over the whole lifecycle
- for the field of sustainability research: experience with sustainability / life cycle assessment tools (e.g., openLCA)
- Fulfillment of personal requirements for handling export-controlled goods, especially in accordance with the EU Dual-Use Regulation, national export control regulations, and EAR
We look forward to getting to know you!
