Flight Software Internship (f/m/x) - Landing Guidance Algorithm (MATLAB)

What to expect
You will join the G&C team developing an online landing guidance algorithm for reusable launch vehicles. Your role will focus on ensuring that the algorithm is robust, reliable, and easy to understand. You’ll design, implement, and maintain unit and integration tests, as well as author clear, concise documentation. The work will expose you to applied mathematics, optimal control theory, and the software engineering practices that make mission critical flight software safe and trustworthy.

Your tasks

• Review the current landing guidance codebase and identify testable modules
• Develop comprehensive unit and integration tests in MATLAB
• Improve code documentation, including user guides and algorithm descriptions
• Work with the G&C team in evaluating the performance of the landing guidance based on Monte Carlo campaign data as well as Processor-in-the-Loop tests

Your profile

• Current student in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field
• Good knowledge of MATLAB & Simulink and how to write clean, maintainable code
• Strong foundation in optimal control theory
