Mission Brief

As an Avionics Working Student in the Reusability Program, you support the engineering team in the preliminary design and coordination of reusability experiments. Initially supporting ESA reusability studies, you translate Spectrum test insights into architecture‑level performance assessments, design constraints and development targets. You perform preliminary sizing of actuators, instrumentation layouts, harnessing and interface with the specialist departments (Avionics, GNC) to ensure compatibility and compliance with system constraints.

Your Role in Our Space Mission:

Avionics system design: design avionics architecture, constrained by mission objectives, pre-existing architecture and available components.
Support program‑level decisions by delivering structured results, trade offs, and data‑driven recommendations.
After familiarizing with existing architecture, interface with GNC department on system requirements, avionics system capabilities, instrumentation.
Drive ground requirements for telemetry and data processing.
Participate in data analysis and documentation.
Support rapid prototyping and testing activities.

Qualification Checklist
