Draper Laboratory is seeking a highly-motivated Graduate-level summer student interested in the design of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) algorithms and software for complex civilian or commercial space applications. The candidate will work in a team responsible for the development of simulation models and analysis tools to evaluate GN&C functionality and performance. Specific activities will include simulation development, stability analysis, guidance and control law development, navigation accuracy assessments, robustness analysis, and support of GN&C software development and testing. This task will also require the development and maintenance of high-fidelity, 6-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DOF) dynamic simulation models of the vehicle. The Graduate Intern will implement non-real-time simulations and perform simulation-based analysis to define GN&C system requirements and capabilities.

  • Job responsibilities will vary depending on the project assignment, which is tailored to the Student's skills and the Draper project lead.
  • Graduate student in Engineering, Math, or Physics
  • Familiarity with several of the following languages and tools: C/C++, Python, MATLAB and/or Simulink
  • Familiarity with 6-DOF Spacecraft Dynamic Modeling and Simulation
  • Must be US citizen
  • Previous experience with GN&C is preferred
  • Workplace flexibility
  • Employee clubs ranging from photography to yoga
  • Health and finance workshops
  • Off site social events
  • Discounts to local museums and cultural activities
