Internship / Master's Thesis: Orbital Refuelling Fluidic Sensing (m/f/d)

About the role

As part of our Systems Engineering Team in Munich, Germany , you will contribute to the development of internal competence on micro-gravity propellant gauging for upcoming In-Orbit Refueling infrastructure vehicles . This role provides an opportunity to develop systems thinking, along with experience on technology research and maturation, while working closely with a multidisciplinary team. The position is planned for a duration of 3 - 6 months , with the possibility of extension and future employment. We offer this position as an Internship or Master's thesis / Semester project , with the exact topic tailored to the candidate's interests and strengths, or as semester project. Your role will include: Investigation of Sensor-Based Approaches for Flow-Phase Identification and Propellant Quantity Estimation in Space. - Literature research and assessment of state-of-the-art methods for propellant mass gauging in microgravity (0-g) environments. Investigate and develop approaches for flow-phase recognition and monitoring in spacecraft fluid systems. Evaluate solutions against system requirements. Perform analytical and numerical studies using industry-standard tools (CATIA, 3dx, Python/C++). Compare different sensing and measurement approaches with respect to accuracy, robustness, complexity, and cost. Support to integrate proposed solutions in a ground orbital refuelling demonstrator architecture. Document findings and propose recommendations for internal competence development. Present results to project stakeholders and support future technology maturation activities (TRL advancement) Enrolled in a Master's in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems engineering, or a related field Passion for creating a new spaceflight paradigm (space logistics and orbital refueling). Basic Knowledge of space- and fluidic systems Familiarity with electrical, fluidic and thermal considerations, and space materials is expected Strong analytical and communication skills Proactive, structured, and able to work independently and in a team High motivation to work independently Immediate and flexible start Flexible working hours Potential for a Master's project and/or full-time employment afterwards Empowerment and independence, with mentoring and access to industry experts for academic success.
