About this role
Profile: PyS Defence and Security Required experience: More than 2 years of experience Modelling and Simulation Engineer – Madrid – Hybrid Indra Space – Leading the Next Generation of Space Systems At Indra Space, we are on a mission to redefine the European space industry by delivering high-performance small satellite solutions for LEO missions. Our ambition? To become a leading company in end-to-end satellite systems, driving innovation in: Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT) Secure Communications Earth Observation & ISR Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Space Traffic Management (STM) Science & space exploration As the Space Business Unit of Indra Group, we combine cutting-edge technology with a full value chain approach—from satellite design and integration to ground segment and operations. With the integration of Deimos and strategic participation in Hispasat and Hisdesat, we are scaling Europe’s space autonomy and contributing to flagship programs like IRIS², Galileo, EGNOS, and Copernicus. What will you do? Develop modelling and simulation solutions for spacecraft dynamics and orbital mechanics. Process and analyze SSA optical sensor data. Apply mathematical and statistical methods to space-related problems. Design and implement machine learning models for physical systems and time series data. Work with satellite attitude and orbital dynamics models. Perform optical light curve analysis and apply optical physics and photometry concepts. Develop object-oriented software solutions using Python and Java. Use machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. Conduct scientific computing and advanced data analysis. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality technical solutions. What are we looking for? More than 3 years of experience in orbital mechanics and spacecraft dynamics. Experience in SSA optical sensors data processing. Strong background in applied mathematics and statistics. Hands-on experience with machine learning applied to physical systems or time series data. Solid knowledge of object-oriented programming. Understanding of satellite attitude and orbital dynamics. Familiarity with optical light curve analysis, optical physics, and photometry. Experience with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn). Strong programming skills in Python and Java (3–4 years of experience). Experience with scientific computing and data analysis libraries. Availability to work in a hybrid model in Madrid. Don’t worry if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements. Apply, learn about our proposal, and show us what you can bring!
