Join our Electrical & Software Team!
Do you have a passion for engineering and development?
Do you get excited by the prospect of exploring space and the universe?
Would you like to work in a dynamic, international team of exciting minds?
Then Team Tumbleweed might be the right place for you!
Our Electrical Development Team is concerned with the conceptualization and development of the Electrical System on the Tumbleweed rover. This work includes designing as well as simulating the electrical system and its subsystems that should end up in the final space grade version of the rover. The examination and integration of suitable solutions requires the applicant to demonstrate insight into the development of electrical power systems and willingness to learn in a team.
