Om tjänsten
OHB Sweden is Sweden’s largest spacecraft system integrator, regularly producing AOCS and propulsion subsystems parallel to
complete spacecraft in our cleanroom in Kista. For these systems, it is sometimes necessary to understand how components are
placed and oriented relative to each other. To determine these relationships, different measurement techniques are used, with the
discipline collectively called metrology.
We are seeking a Master Thesis Student to investigate and implement new metrological methodologies that would aid the design and
production of the next generation of spacecraft systems and subsystems.
THESIS TASKS
The thesis would focus on developing new metrological techniques based on the requirements of OHB Sweden. Tasks would include:
The goal is to develop new metrological methods that increase the quality of the spacecraft and subsystems developed at the
company while decreasing the required time for integration and testing. The student is also encouraged to suggest additional or
alternative paths with the same goal.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for someone that fulfills several of these items:
- Final-year master’s students in the field of Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering
Physics, and similar disciplines
It is considered meriting to have experience with:
We would like you to be curious, passionate, driven, and open to learning and trying new things. We welcome applicants of any
gender interested in spacecraft engineering to apply!
WHAT WE OFFER
The student would be supported by experienced space systems engineers throughout the project and would gain exposure to current
development activities. Additionally, during the thesis supervised access to laser metrological instruments could be provided for
testing novel techniques developed by the student. Successful thesis work may also open a path towards future employment within
the systems engineering or testing teams at OHB Sweden.
