For those who dream of advancing our space in the Universe and on Earth, we’ll take you there.

Serving the world from our Canadian home and our global offices, MDA is an international space mission partner and robotics & space operations, satellite systems and Geointelligence pioneer with a 50-year story of firsts on and above the Earth. Today, we're leading the charge towards viable Moon colonies, enhanced Earth observation, communication in a hyper-connected world, and more.

We’re fueled by a pioneering spirit that carries us beyond. And together we enable highly skilled people to continually push boundaries and tackle big challenges requiring solutions that endure and inspire.

Are you ready to launch the next stage of your career in the new space economy? We would love to hear from you

**The Position**

We’re on the hunt for an _Intermediate_ _Engineer - Control, Simulation and Analysis_ on our _Robotics & Space Operations_ team at our _Brampton_ office.

With 40 years of operational experience and proven performance on the iconic Canadarm programs including Space Shuttle and International Space Station robotics and operations support, our Robotics & Space Operations team has 100% mission success in making space dreams come true.

As our _Int._ _Engineer - Control, Simulation and Analysis_, you will work on Lunar and Mars rovers, and/or on the Logistics & Sustaining Engineering (L&SE) program (to support On-Orbit Space Station activities), and/or Gateway External Robotics System, and/or R&D activities.

**_ Responsibilities:_**

The daily duties will include:

- Developing Rover autonomous guidance, navigation and controls capabilities: sensors data fusion, localization, vision algorithms, terrain modelling and assessment, obstacle detection and avoidance, and path planning and tracking
- Developing servo control laws for both robotic arm joints and mechanisms
- Performing simulation runs to validate mathematical models, new parameters, and control algorithms
- Tuning of the control system parameters of the mechanisms to meet the performance objectives required for the On-Orbit/ planetary surface tasks
- Performing simulation runs to analyze loads failures and recovery scenarios
- Performing Multibody dynamics modelling, analysis and simulations, including terra-mechanics and friction-based contact modelling
- Deriving Space Robotics System Requirements
- Contributing to technology development (R&D activities)

**_Requirements:_**
- Experience with Robot Operating System (ROS) and algorithm implementation is an asset

We’re a dream team of purpose-driven, collaborative and passionate people, and we are constantly looking for others to join #TeamMDA to ignite new and innovative approaches to problem-solving that push us forward to improve life on and above Earth. If you’re excited to expand our place in space and driven to inspire the next generation, we’ll take you there.

We have entered a new era of exploration and development, and MDA welcomes all who yearn to suit up and be part of it. An equal opportunity employer prizing diversity, integrity and collaboration, we are committed to growing MDA’s and Canada’s leadership in this next golden age.
