Your Main Responsibilities

• Assist in the architecture, development, and testing of a Python-based system simulation tool for spacecraft propulsion.
• Develop and integrate mathematical models for spacecraft manoeuvres, delta-v budgets and pre-sizing of propulsion system components.
• Support the implementation of Graphical User Interface (GUI) features to enhance the usability of internal engineering software.
• Structure, maintain, and validate comprehensive databases of propulsion hardware components (using JSON/structured data formats)
• Conduct software verification runs, debug physics models, and analyse simulation data to ensure mathematical accuracy.
• Collaborate using standard software engineering workflows, including Git version control and modular, object-oriented programming practices.
  
  
  

Your Qualification
