**Job Requisition ID**:19045**Closing Date**:30 November 2024 23:59 CET/CEST**Publication**:External Only**Type of Contract**:Intern**Date Posted**:1 November 2024
- Internship Opportunity in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality.**Location**
Noordwijk

**Our team and mission**

**This position is based at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) - Noordwijk, Netherlands**
Under the direct authority of the Head of the Electrical Department, the Avionics & EEE Division is responsible for all aspects related to Avionics (with inputs from AOCS/GNC), Data Systems, Microelectronics, Flight Software and EEE Components and associated laboratory facilities. The responsibilities also extend to technology/product development and support to standardisation. More specifically TEC-ED responsibilities encompass:

- Definition of Avionics architecture (with inputs from AOCS/GNC) including procurement of associated products and supported through the Division’s following responsibilities:

- On-board computer and Data Handling (PL/PF) for space systems, including their procurement and end-to-end validation (in close collaboration with TEC-EF);
- Engineering of on-board software in all phases including pre-development and independent verification & validation of critical software, supporting software-system and functional engineering activities.
- Microelectronics and EEE Components
- Microelectronic devices and systems including development of radiation hardening techniques for such systems;
- EEE Components both passive and active, including product development. Qualification, reliability and Radiation Hardness Assurance in support of TEC -Q;
- Contribute to the European Space Component Coordination (ESCC) and all associated activities.
- Development and operation of a reference laboratory for components evaluation against the space environment (including radiation), reliability assessment, Data Systems, Microelectronics and Flight Software domains.

**Field(s) of activity for the internship**
You can choose between the following topics:

**1) Topic 1: Advanced Data Handling Architecture (ADHA) Facility**
The ADHA program aims to specify and develop a data handling architecture based on standardised, interchangeable and interoperable electronics modules equipped with the latest generation of microelectronic components, assembled and integrated into units of standardised electrical and mechanical form factors.
Working on the ADHA flatsat you participate in the integration and validation of various hardware and software modules developed for the ADHA Flatsat. This will involve bringing up Engineering Model (EM) modules developed for ADHA and integrating them into the ADHA flatsat, ensuring that each one functions correctly within the unit and the larger system.

In addition to working with existing modules, you will have the opportunity to design small printed circuit boards (PCBs) for test modules of the Flatsat facility. You will create custom PCBs to meet specific requirements, from initial design through to final implementation, and also develop test software for integration testing of other ADHA modules. Your designs will be integral to developing test new functionalities within the Flatsat, enabling more sophisticated simulations and testing scenarios.
You will gain an insight in topics such as Avionics and Data Handling architectures, modular units, on-board interfaces, and unit integration concepts.

**2) Topic 2: Cubesat Flatsat**
CubeSat FlatSat is one of the lab facilities maintained by the On-Board Computer and Data-Handling section. This set-up contains all the subsystems present in normal CubeSat missions, for example On-Board Computer, Telemetry and Telecommand Subsystem, Payload Processing Units etc. It can be used for testing all the data-handling concepts expected in real operations. Generic information about the FlatSat can be found here: ESA - Opened-out ‘FlatSat’ for CubeSat testing
Possible tasks for the Cubesat Flatsat facility include the following:

- Development of a Mission Operations Center for the FlatSat;
- Extending the Payload capabilities of the FlatSat by integrating new payloads;
- Development of a Payload processing chain (i.e. implement payload data transfer with dedicated radio link);
- Development of software components for the On-Board Computer of the FlatSat (i.e. file system, fault detection etc.).
All the aforementioned tasks/developments can be considered fully technical and hands-on, and require practical knowledge related to embedded systems.
On top of implementing selected technical topics, the intern will be responsible also for general management of the CubeSat FlatSat, and maintaining the documentations of the activity.
You will gain experience and an insight in topics such as Cubesat architectures, as well as data handling an
