Master (MSc) Thesis ''Development of a Valve Prototype for Spacecraft Propulsion Systems''

The thesis will focus on establishing a preliminary product definition identifying key requirements evaluating design concepts and performing first-order sizing and analysis of critical components and operating parameters. Depending on project progress and thesis scope the work may also include the design manufacturing and testing of an initial prototype.

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 early development of a new valve concept for spacecraft propulsion systems.

During the thesis you will work with the complete early-stage development process from defining requirements and evaluating design concepts to preliminary sizing modelling and engineering design. The work will involve balancing key considerations such as performance reliability manufacturability mass and power consumption. Depending on the progress and final scope of the thesis you may also have the opportunity to design manufacture and test a proof-of-concept prototype.

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

The student will contribute to the early development of the valve through activities such as:

The student will become part of OHB Swedens propulsion team and contribute to the development of a new spacecraft propulsion technology. The work offers hands-on experience with real hardware development and close collaboration with engineers working on current and future space missions.
