Job Description
OHB Sweden is a leading Swedish supplier of space systems. We develop build test and commission satellites and subsystems for space missions in for example communication earth observation and space research for institutional and commercial customers within and outside Europe.
This Master Thesis focuses on adapting and reiterating a smallsatellite platform design to meet the requirements of new payloads specifically hyperspectral detector/camera systems. The project will involve market research feasibility analysis payload requirement evaluation and the iterative adaptation of the platform to ensure compatibility with new technologies while meeting mission and system requirements.
The tasks of the masters thesis topic are as follows:
- Conduct market research on hyperspectral detectors/cameras.
- Study which payloads would complement European institutional missions
- Analyze the feasibility of integrating hyperspectral payloads on small satellites (<250 kg).
- Iterate feasible payload requirements to maintain compliance with mission and system requirements.
- Modify the current smallsatellite platform design to accommodate such payloads.
- If needed propose RFD (Request for Deviation) for adjusting System and Mission requirements for stateoftheart technologies.
The required candidates skills are:
- Strong background in Systems Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
- Knowledge of satellite platform design and payload integration is a plus.
- Familiarity with hyperspectral imaging detector/camera systems.
- Skills in requirement definition traceability and systemlevel engineering.
- Analytical thinking and problemsolving abilities.
- Selfmotivation and the ability to work both independently and in teams
- Effective communication and documentation skills
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of future stateoftheart Earth Observation satellite design while gaining valuable experience in the space industry. During the Master Thesis OHB Sweden is offering support and technical expertise from highly skilled motivated and innovative Systems engineers.
The Master thesis is done with us in Kista and cannot be done remotely.
We follow the export controls law and this regulates which country of birth people who work on our projects may have. We at OHB cannot influence this law.
We look forward to your application!
