At Atomionics, we build quantum gravimeters that are set to revolutionize the resource exploration industry.
We are looking for a motivated intern to contribute in simulating a moving-base quantum gravimeter.
Responsibilities
Develop and improve software implementation of a simulation model for the output of a quantum gravimeter undergoing 6 axis motion.
Determine forces and accelerations experienced by the quantum gravimeter and compare them to those measured by an IMU.
Modelling forces and rigid body dynamics: Forces in Inertial and Non inertial coordinate frames, Modelling accelerations due to Rotation and lever arms, and Kinematics in 3D space
Data Processing and Analysis of Signal Characteristics: FFTs, PSDs, Allan deviations (drift analysis); Finding optimal filters and Error propagation
Support the integration of transfer functions into motion libraries to build sensor fusion algorithms.
Analyse differences between the simulation and the experimental data in a set of conditions.
Qualifications
Engineer or physicist with a background in computer science, sensor fusion, signal processing, or related fields
Experienced with modelling of classical mechanics: inertial and non-intertial reference frames, rotating reference frames, Centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations, lever arms
Familiarity with Python: NumPy, SciPy, pandas, visualization packages
Skilled in Root Cause Analysis
Interested in deep technical problem statements and capable of picking things up
Preferable if you have:
Familiarity with sensor fusion fundamentals: Euler angles, quaternions, integration, dead reckoning
Familiarity with foundation of signal analysis such as FFTs, noise analysis
Experienced with motion and localization packages such as Gazebo
Familiarity with modelling in Matlab and simulations
Experience with interfacing an IMU and collecting experimental data
Familiarity with IMU characteristics: sampling rate, noise, bias drift, etc.
What we can offer you
Minimum duration of 3 months, preferably 6 months.
