Technical Assistant position for Tudat. Tudat is an open-source, multi-purpose astrodynamics toolbox developed by the Aerospace faculty at TU Delft. The work consists predominantly of software development, with some project management on the side. The software development includes creating new example applications, improving the usability with other software programs, such as Astroquery, and enabling parallelization. In addition, I support by answering Tudat-user questions. Technical Assistant position for Tudat.
