(Master thesis) Rover Digital Twin
In this role
A digital twin is a digital representation of a real-world entity or system. It reflects a single physical object, person, process, organisation, or other abstraction.
Backed by data, digital twins provide valuable insights on the state of a system which can be extremely useful for the monitoring of space vehicles and decision making during a space mission.
In the context of this internship, we aim at implementing a digital twin for the 2023 Xplore Rover.
The idea is to have a 3D representation of the rover displayed on the control station to monitor the state of all electronical and mechanical components. Activities include:
- Study of Digital Twin solutions and selection of the most appropriate in the Rover context
- 3D modelling of the Rover using the selected solution
- Definition of critical components to model
- Design and implementation of fault detection and alerting for a subset of critical components
What we offer
- A dynamic work and collaborative environment with a highly motivated multi-cultural and multiples international sites team
- Personal development through training and coaching
- A flat hierarchy and a culture of collaboration across all disciplines
- The chance to make a difference in peoples’ life by building innovative solutions
- High innovation and research backed up by collaboration with universities like EPFL
- Various internal coding events (Hackathon, Brownbags), see our technical blog
- Monthly After-Works organized per locations
- Good life balance (41 working hours per week and possibility to work 2 days per week from home)
About your profile
- Software development: Python, C++, C, C#
- Interest for space mission definitions and analysis (requirements, risk analysis, systems engineering etc).
- Interest for Internet of Things technologies and Digital Twin
