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
- Kinematics in 3D space
- Data Processing and Analysis of Signal Characteristics: FFTs, PSDs, Allan deviations.
- Finding optimal filters
- 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
- Analytically minded and 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.
About the Company
Atomionics Pte. Ltd.
Atomionics is a Singapore-based startup building quantum sensors for subsurface exploration and universal navigation. Our sensors generate 3D models of the Earth’s subsurface to pinpoint critical resources, enable GPS-free positioning, and detect earthquakes and volcanic activity.
We specialize in cold atom interferometry—cooling atoms to near absolute zero with lasers to measure tiny gravitational changes. We’re a hands-on, high-energy team operating at the intersection of quantum physics, hardware, and AI. Engineers here work across mechanical, electronic, and software systems—treating every challenge as a workout for the mind.
Backed by Wavemaker, SGInnovate, Cap Vista, 500 Startups, Paspalis, and prominent angel investors, we’re turning deep tech into real-world impact.
