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 look forward to getting to know you!
