PhD Position: Advanced Onboard Control Systems for Spacecraft with AI Expertise

About the Position

The Technical University of Munich is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to contribute to the development of advanced onboard control systems for spacecraft with AI expertise. The successful candidate will work closely with our research team to design and implement innovative control strategies using machine learning and other AI techniques to enhance spacecraft autonomy and responsiveness in dynamic environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Research and identify existing AI algorithms applicable to spacecraft AOCS, including machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and evolutionary algorithms.
  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of spacecraft dynamics, control systems, and mission requirements to inform the selection and adaptation of AI algorithms for AOCS applications.
  • Design and implement AI-based control algorithms for spacecraft AOCS, considering factors such as robustness, adaptability, real-time performance, and compatibility with onboard hardware.
  • Conduct simulation-based studies to evaluate the performance of AI-driven AOCS algorithms across a range of use-cases, including orbital manoeuvring, attitude control, rendezvous and docking, and autonomous navigation.
  • Validate the effectiveness and scalability of developed algorithms through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and/or integration with actual spacecraft platforms or testbeds.
  • Investigate and address challenges related to the integration of AI algorithms into spacecraft AOCS, such as computational constraints, sensor noise, environmental uncertainties, and safety considerations.
  • Compare and benchmark the performance of AI-based AOCS algorithms against traditional control methods and state-of-the-art approaches, highlighting their advantages and limitations in different mission scenarios.
  • Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present results at relevant conferences and workshops to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of spacecraft AOCS and AI.
  • Document and disseminate research outcomes, methodologies, and best practices through technical reports, white papers, and open-access repositories to benefit the broader scientific community and facilitate future research endeavors in the field.

What We Offer

The successful candidate will be offered a full-time PhD position with a 3-year contract, 30 days of paid holidays, and the opportunity to work with a talented team of researchers and engineers. We value diversity, equity, and inclusion and encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply. We are dedicated to offering an inclusive research environment and encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply, including individuals with disabilities. The position is suitable for disabled persons.

Application

Interested candidates should send their application (incl. CV, motivation letter, current and past transcript of records, as well as any supporting documents) via email to the preferred contact address. We look forward to your application.
