Intern Software Simulation Engineering (m/f/d)

ATMOS Space Cargo is seeking a Software Simulation Engineering Intern to support the development of subsystem simulation models for the Phoenix2 spacecraft programme. You will work within a multidisciplinary engineering team, helping to model hardware interfaces, implement simulation logic, and validate behaviour in our Software in the Loop (SIL) environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the analysis of subsystem ICDs and User Manuals to understand hardware behaviour.
• Assist in developing C++-based simulation models within the existing simulation framework.
• Contribute to Java-based SIL test scenarios to verify simulation fidelity.
• Collaborate with systems and hardware engineers to ensure accurate model behaviour.
• Help document simulation architecture, assumptions, and test results.
• Participate in troubleshooting and integration activities across simulation and embedded platforms.

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Basic programming experience in C++ and/or Java.
• Interest in simulation, embedded systems, or aerospace applications.
• Ability to interpret technical documentation such as ICDs.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving mindset.
• Attention to detail and willingness to learn aerospace‑grade documentation practices.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with SIL environments or embedded system testing.
• Exposure to Git or other version control systems.
• Interest in ECSS, DO178, or similar engineering standards.
