As a Bitflip Payload Software Engineer you will work with STM32 firmware, Raspberry PI communication over I2C and memory operations. You will mainly be working on making the code that is currently in place more usable and robust. Experience with C/C++, embedded systems, microcontrollers and Linux is useful but motivation to learn is most important.

As CDH Lead you will be responsible for the command ans data handling subsystem of the DVS satellite. This subsystem holds the 2 on-board computers that coordinate the full satellite. In this role, you will work closely with hardware, software, environmental qualification campaign, interfaces among others. It is desired for you to have a basic understanding of electrical diagrams and hardware, experience with systems engineering, and some experience with embedded software.

As a CDH AIV engineer you will support the assembly, integration, and verification of the Command and Data Handling subsystem. The CDH subsystem includes several interconnected electronic units, including the Databoard, Payload Manager, Main OBC, and GNSS stack. The role will involve supporting PCB and hardware integration, checking electrical and data interfaces, preparing and executing assembly and verification procedures, and performing functional tests of the integrated CDH hardware and documenting it all. Basic knowledge of electronics and digital interfaces will be useful. Experience with or knowledge of C or C++ as well as electrical circuits is highly recommended as is previous hands-on experience with hardware.

The AOCS Software Engineer is responsible for testing and maintaining the On-Board Computer (OBC) driver that interfaces with the Attitude & Orbit Control Subsystem (the HT-iADCS200 unit), which communicates with the OBC over RS485. Since the driver development is largely complete, the primary focus is on verifying command and telemetry exchange across all AOCS modes (de-tumble, nadir pointing, target tracking, inertial pointing, magnetic control, and safe mode), implementing the test scripts and preparing test documentation, troubleshooting communication issues, and fixing bugs uncovered during integration testing. The role also involves hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to confirm the OBC correctly commands the AOCS and parses its telemetry, including sun sensor and magnetometer data routed through the unit. Limited driver development will still be required to fix bugs or implement newly identified requirements. Beneficial prior experience includes embedded software testing, familiarity with RS485/serial communication protocols, and exposure to attitude determination and control concepts in a spacecraft or robotics context. Experience with HIL test setups and structured debugging of communication interfaces is a strong plus. Working knowledge of C++ is required, as all OBC software is developed in this language

The OBC Software Engineer is responsible for developing, testing, and maintaining the higher layers of the core on-board software (OBSW) running on the satellite’s On-Board Computer (OBC), built in C++ using Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio. While the peripheral access and hardware proxy layers (subsystem drivers) are close to being finalized, the logic layer, which covers the task scheduler, telecommand-driven services, bootloader, and the operational mode statemachine, still requires active development, as does the top-level application layer that ties everything together. A second major focus of the role is developing and verifying the test software for the databoard test campaign, which also requires active development. The role involves working closely with the Software Lead to design and implement this logic, translating system-level logic/requirements and Modes of Operation (MOO) into working OBC code and test software. Beneficial prior experience includes embedded C++ development, real-time scheduling concepts, and experience designing state machines or task-based execution logic. Working knowledge of C++ is required, as all OBC software is developed in this language.

As a GS&O Software Engineer you will contribute to converting TM/TC data packets into XML (or similar formats) and to creating ground-based software to manage packets entering and leaving the ground station. You will strictly collaborate with the Systems and Data Engineer, and you will have to interface with the ground station hardware. Desirable to have programming skills and experience with data structures.

As a Systems and Data Engineer within the GS&O team, you will strictly collaborate with all the teams to finalize the parameters required for each subsystem to properly communicate with the ground station. You will also contribute to the creation of TM/TC packages, closely working with the GSO lead engineer. Desirable to have familiarity with space systems, basic knowledge of satellite architecture, and knowledge of Excel/data structuring.

As Power Analysis Engineer you will review and fix the existing MATLAB/Python power simulation (solar array modelling, eclipses, sun-exposure geometry, temperature and degradation), then use it to redo the satellite power budget, documenting assumptions and margins. You will work closely with the Systems Lead and the EPS and AOCS teams. Desired skills include MATLAB and/or Python for scientific computing and a basic understanding of spacecraft power systems. Experience with power budgets or orbital mechanics is a plus.

As Systems Engineer you will support the Systems Lead in maintaining the requirements database, system architecture, interfaces and system budgets (mass, power, data, link), and help prepare technical reviews. You will work with all subsystem leads to collect inputs and keep the design consistent. Desired skills include requirements management, systems engineering fundamentals and clear technical writing. Experience with ECCS is beneficial.

You will be working in a team to develop masterclasses for high school students! The masterclass subjects range from, for example, Mars to Interplanetary Travel and aim to contain loads of unconventional educational methods. Expect loads of masterclass trial runs and testing sessions!

As a member of the Finance team of Da Vinci Satellite, it will be your main responsibility to locate and get in touch with companies and initiatives, willing to collaborate with the team, while sharing the same goals and objectives. These companies can range from small local businesses to multinationals and even national or global funds. Maintaining the financial health of the project requires professionalism, dedication and collaboration. You will be applying these principles in finance and business meetings as well as during our weekly work sessions. Contacting businesses, creating proposals and templates, scheduling prospect meetings, and gaining financial and corporate experience, having fun in the process, are all part of this invaluable work experience!
