Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!

The Galileo Competence Centre is dedicated to the further development of the European satellite navigation system Galileo. Together with DLR's scientific institutes and facilities, it analyses the performance of Galileo and other existing systems, develops, tests and validates new ideas and promising technologies, and works closely with industry to make them ready for use.

 

What to expect

The "System Analysis and Evolution" department analyses existing satellite navigation systems, develops technology scenarios for future generations and designs space missions.

The first objective is to understand existing simulation modules and libraries of the simulation environment in preparation for the subsequent validation, verification and the creation of the associated documentation. Based on prior work, the quality of the existing software is to be improved, for example in terms of runtime. An additional task is the creation of visualisations in Python for the analysis of scientific results.

 

Your tasks

  • Familiarisation with existing simulation software
  • Developing approaches for the validation and verification of modules
  • Creating documentation
  • Optimisation of existing implementations, e.g. with regard to runtime
  • Creating visualisations for the presentation of scientific results

 

Your profile

  • enrolled in a scientific university degree programme (Bachelor/Master) and preferably studying computer science, aerospace or similar scientific degree programmes
  • knowledge of at least one programming language, preferably Python
  • experience in dealing with version control and development environments
  • good written and spoken English skills

 

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.

We look forward to getting to know you!
