Astrodynamics Intern

Digantara is building the world's first maps for space, Space-Mission Assurance PlatformTM(Space-MAPTM). Space-MAPTM represents an evolutionary end-to-end infrastructure for sustainable space operations, offering a comprehensive Space Situational Awareness(SSA) solution that simplifies and strengthens satellite operations in the face of the rapidly expanding commercialization of space.

Space-MAPTM features advanced SSA analytics powered by cutting-edge astrodynamics algorithms optimized for fast turnaround time.

Why Us?

Competitive incentives, galvanising workspace, blazing team, frequent outings—pretty much everything that you have heard about a startup, plus more of the satellite/rocket stuff—perhaps handling a satellite or leaning on a rocket.

Hustle in a well-funded startup with a flat hierarchy that allows you to take charge of your responsibilities and create your own moonshot.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and test mathematical algorithms tailored for SSA applications.
• Conduct orbit determination and orbit propagation of space objects using data from ground-based and space-based sensors.
• Provide support across the design, integration, testing, and operation of SSA systems and technology.
• Engage in research and development initiatives focusing on emerging technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing for SSA.
• Contribute to the creation of technical white papers, journals, and proposals

Qualifications:

• Pursuing or holding a degree (Bachelor, Master, or Ph.D.) in astrodynamics, aerospace, mathematics, physics, or a similar field.
• Strong proficiency in computational astrodynamics/orbital mechanics, perturbation theories, vector algebra, numerical methods, computer science, and data science.

Preferred Qualities:

• Proficiency in Python/MATLAB/C/C++, scientific computing methods, and parallel programming techniques.
• Basic familiarity with Linux-based systems and version management using Git.
• Knowledge of software packages/tools such as GMAT, STK, FreeFlyer, Orekit, etc.
• Fundamental understanding of probability, statistics, and control theory.

General Requirements:

• Capacity to work independently and follow directions effectively.
• Strong interpersonal skills conducive to collaboration within a diverse team environment.
• Consistent adherence to a regular work schedule.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, coupled with strong organizational abilities.
