The Northrop Grumman Space System Dulles Flatsat Hardware Simulations Team is looking to fill a starting engineering position working on assorted commercial and non-commercial space programs. Studies in electrical engineering is expected. This position requires strong mechanical knowledge and abilities. As part of the Flatsat team, the candidate will develop hardware to implement closed loop simulation for avionics flight computers on Space Vehicle (SV) Flatsat Systems. The candidate will learn how to define requirements based on the program’s needs, select hardware to simulate SV component data and control interfaces, define testbed harness connections to avionics units and interfaces for simulating SV components, and test and integrate the completed simulation testbed with the avionics units. The candidate will also learn how to design and fabricate a Hardware in the Loop (HITL) rack and a testbed which make up the Flatsat simulation system. The HITL racks are used to check out, integrate, and operate the Flatsat testbed with integrated avionics. These systems provide power, control, and telemetry. The candidate will be part of a small Flatsat Design Team consisting of both software and hardware engineers supporting a number of prog…
