Deseño dun sistema VLEO de observación da terra para a loita contra incendio (ICAROS). Ref. 0925-152032

OFFER REFERENCE 0925-152032

Open  28/04/2025
Deadline  12/05/2025

Fixed-term contract: 18 months and 15 days

Work to be performed:

Development of the CFD component for the design and prototyping of a very low Earth orbit (VLEO) satellite platform with optical payloads and propulsion systems.

Functions to be performed:

  • Configure and perform CFD simulations of satellite components to analyze interactions with residual flow and aerodynamics in VLEO, integrating subsystems, payloads, and the propulsion system.
  • Verify aerodynamic behavior and heat transfer due to friction with the residual atmosphere, ensuring compliance with platform and payload requirements via CFD analysis.
  • Design aerodynamic control strategies and assess fluid dynamics influence on subsystem, payload, and propulsion stability and thermal control.
  • Ensure safety margins in VLEO based on CFD results and validate them through prototypes or models, documenting analysis and justification of aerodynamic and thermal design.

Required qualifications: Baccalaureate

Gross monthly salary: 1.200,00 € (including the apportionments of extra payments)

Workday: 20 hours per week
