Introduction
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
A comprehensive immersion into the intricacies of deep tech research, encompassing product development and strategic aspects within a high-growth startup environment
A book allowance to help you grow and collectively build the Atomionics library
Board games and curry night
Minimum duration of 3 months, preferably 6 months.
Atomionics is a Singapore based VC-backed startup building quantum sensors for resource exploration and navigation. We measure gravity, acceleration, and rotation 1000x better than the state of the art. Our sensors can build a complete map of the underground, thus help pinpoint underground structures, like bunkers and tunnels, predict earthquakes, provide precise navigation, and build a universal positioning system that works everywhere – underground, underwater, and even in space. We have deep expertise in bringing complex technologies from a lab environment to the dynamic real world.
We are a focused group in a high-energy environment. The core of what we are building is called cold atom interferometry, where we cool down atoms to microkelvin temperatures by shooting lasers at them. This allows us to precisely measure the forces acting on them. Our team has over 30 years of combined relevant research experience and consists of people at the top of their domains with a diverse set of experience, such as in advanced rocket engines, the first digital cameras, and high resolution microscopes, apart from cold atom physics. And due to the complexity of our work, our employees get to interact with other domains such as electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, and software engineering. Our company likes to treat our work as a “gym for our minds”.
In addition, we are backed by some fantastic investors from the private and public sectors, such as Wavemaker, SGInnovate, Cap Vista, 500 Startups, and other prominent angels.
