Your mission is to build the virtual environment that allows the software team to validate their developments safely. You will be the bridge between physical theory and embedded reality:

• Subsystem Emulation: Develop Simulink models that accurately replicate the behavior of ABEP thruster components.

• Virtual Testbed Creation: Set up and maintain SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) and MIL (Model-in-the-Loop) environments so embedded software can be tested before touching real hardware.

• Impact Analysis: Simulate how different variables affect thruster performance, providing critical data for system optimization.

• Integration Support: Empower the Embedded Software team by providing reliable models that emulate system interfaces and dynamics.

• MATLAB/Simulink Mastery: Solid experience creating block models and dynamic simulations.

• Support Mindset: You are driven by creating robust test environments and understanding how subsystems interact.

• Hardware/Firmware Interest: You understand communication protocols (CAN, I2C) to effectively emulate them, even if you don't code them directly.

• Background: Degree in Engineering (Aerospace, Electronics, Control, or similar). Junior to Mid-level profile.

• Elite Backing: We are funded and supported by the NATO Innovation Fund (NIF) and are part of the European Space Agency (ESA BIC) ecosystem.

• Culture & Vibes: Forget rigid hierarchies. We are a young team with high technical expertise and a truly collaborative spirit. If you want to learn from the best in a friendly, supportive, and "good vibes" environment, you'll fit right in.

• Based in Porto do Molle, Nigrán (Galicia) (Purposeful On-site): We work in our own lab. Here, simulation meets real hardware every day; it's not just an office, it's hands-on engineering.

• Methodological Impact: Your work ensures system reliability; you are the one making sure "nothing breaks" during the final integration of a unique space thruster.
