Software Engineer focused on Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC).Design, develop and test GNC algorithms in a rover context, as well as all the activities required to support this - with development ranging from numerical simulation models to the sensor hardware interfaces on our prototype rovers.The key objective of the GNC algorithms for exploration rovers is autonomy. Hence, most of the functionalities to be implemented are there to enable the rover to navigate with as much on-board decision making as possible.The development of the algorithms is realized on Linux based computers, using different languages (C/C++, Python, Bash, ...). The use of the Robot Operating System (ROS) is more and more used for the prototyping activities. Most of the testing is performed on 1:1 scale prototype rovers that are tested indoors (in the Mars Yard) or outdoors during the Field Trials test campaign in a sand quarry. In parallel to testing the newly developed algorithms on prototypes, it is required to test all of the algorithms in a custom simulation environment.Your Profile
