Master (MSc) Thesis ''Development and Validation of Daughter Boards''

Are you interested in contributing to the development of hardware for future space missions OHB Sweden is looking for a Masters student to support the development and validation of unit daughter boards.

During the thesis you will work with the complete early-stage development process from defining the concepts to preliminary sizing modelling and electronics design. The work will involve balancing key considerations such as performance reliability costs and manufacturability. You will have the possibility to design set up and test a proof-of-concept prototype.

You will carry out the thesis as part of OHB Swedens Avionics and Electrical department working closely with experienced engineers and contributing to the development of technology intended for future space applications.

The student will contribute to the development of the electronic boards through activities such as:

• Analysis of requirements and their design consequences

• Review and consolidation of the component selection

• Design Schematics and analysis of electronics (FMEA reliability WCA)

• PCB routing and procurement of assembled PCB from local suppliers

• Prototype integration together with existing development boards

• Support to driver coding

• Assessment of performance through measurements and tests

The position is suitable for Masters students in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Preliminary experience (through university courses extra curriculum activities or autodidact) in the following domains is expected / required:

• Electronics schematics and PCB routing (i.e KiCAD)

• General knowledge of electronic circuits (memories ADCs power converters etc.)

• Spice Simulations (i.e circuits op amps filtering etc.)

• Testing (i.e power supplies oscilloscopes multimeter)

• Scripting (i.e Python)

The student will become part of OHB Swedens Avionics and electrical team and contribute to the development of a Innosat avionics architecture. The work offers hands-on experience with real hardware development and close collaboration with engineers working on current and future space missions.

Successful thesis work may also open a path towards future employment within the Avionics & Electrical team at OHB Sweden.
