Key facts

Literature research and familiarization with the navigation of flight-capable systems by means of state estimation, e.g., landers, multicopters, etc.
Generation of accuracy requirements for state estimation using a flight simulation and a flight controller
Selection of sensors (gyroscopes, accelerometers, GNSS receivers, laser/radar altimeters, etc.)
Selection of a suitable observer architecture (e.g., Kalman filter or optimization-based methods)
Real-time-capable implementation in C++
Validation of the implementation and realization in field tests
Writing and presenting the results

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation, and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees in their personal and professional environment. For this, our numerous training and further education opportunities are available to you. Equal opportunities are a special concern for us; we therefore want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applications from severely disabled people are preferred in case of professional suitability. We look forward to getting to know you!
