General Information

ARIS boasts an extensive background in rocket and engine development, and is now advancing to the next stage, aiming to launch a liquid rocket equipped with a guided recovery system in the coming years.

Since 2017, ARIS has been innovating annually with advanced sounding rockets, competing in events like the Spaceport America Cup and the European Rocketry Challenge, and earning numerous awards. Since 2020, ARIS has been developing guided recovery systems, exploring new areas in student rocketry and setting new standards in the field.

After several years of hybrid rocket engine development, the focus shifted to liquid engines over the past three years. Project LEA designed the initial engine and conducted the first tests. PROMETHEUS transitioned to a cryogenic oxidizer, and HELIOS is currently enhancing and testing the system, performing a parameter study, and developing a sound suppression system.

Now we're ready to move on to the next level, developing and designing and ultimately launching a rocket poweredby our bi-liquid rocket engine. This challenging task requires collaboration among highly skilled individuals from diverse backgrounds. We're seeking motivated Guided Recovery Engineers to achieve ambitious projects and support growth.

About the Job:

As a recovery engineer, your responsibility will be to ensure that the system descends safely to the ground in a controlled fashion. This encompasses all activities post-apogee. You will need to design a separation mechanism to jettison the nosecone and deploy a drogue chute. Upon reaching the target altitude, a ram air parachute will be deployed, and the system will be guided in a controlled manner using a closed-loop guidance system that you will develop. The recovery team is divided into two groups: one will focus on modeling the system and developing the rocket's guidance, navigation, and control systems, while the other will handle the structural components, such as the separation, deployment, and steering mechanisms. All of this will be tested and validated through a droptest campaign, where the system is lifted approximately 1000 meters into the air by a helicopter and then released for a comprehensive system test.

Useful Skills:

  • Understanding of control and feedback systems
  • Programming in Rust and MATLAB (Guidance)
  • Experience with CAD tools (Structures)
  • Willingness and ability to learn quickly and gain experience

Your Qualifications:

  • Studying in 2nd Bachelor year or higher – Regardless of University
  • Perseverance and willingness to work as part of a passionate team
  • Independent work ethic & stable performance under pressure
  • Understanding of risk & high degree of situational awareness
  • You don't need to be an expert, but you need to want to become one

Working Conditions:

  • Project start: September, 2024
  • Duration: Minimum of 2 Semesters
  • Working hours: 15-40/h per week, varying

Please be informed that your work will be entirely voluntary. As we are a student project, we do not offer any paid employment. But you will be able to prove your practical experience in your CV.
