Space Operations Systems Engineer Specialist
hace 1 mes
The European Space Agency's Science Programme is a world-leading endeavour with missions in heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and fundamental physics. The programme aims to empower Europe to lead space science. Within the ESA's Directorate of Science, the Science Operations Department (SCI-S) oversees scientists and engineers responsible for space missions from study to end of operations. This department develops science operation systems for missions and operates them in space, archiving and curating their data during operations and beyond. Its main objective is to maximise the scientific output of missions for the benefit of humankind.
As a System Engineer for Science Operations, you will support the design, implementation, and testing of the science ground segment system, particularly the Science Operation Centres of our science missions. You will initially be assigned to the EnVision mission and report to the EnVision Science Operations Development Manager in the Science Operations Development Division. The EnVision mission will investigate Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere, characterising the interaction between its different envelopes: its atmosphere, surface/subsurface, and interior. It aims to provide a holistic view of Venus, studying the planet's history, activity, and climate. EnVision is targeting a launch in the early 2030s.
You will be responsible for the science operations system engineering activities of the EnVision mission for the remainder of the development and operations phases in the Science Operation Centre (SOC), the ESA components of the science ground segment (SGS). The SOC, based at ESAC (Madrid, Spain), is responsible for the science planning, data processing, and archiving activities of ESA's contribution to the mission's science operations. The Mission Operations Centre (MOC), based at ESOC (Darmstadt, Germany), is responsible for all spacecraft operations. You will work in close collaboration with the Science Operations development team, Project Teams, Project Scientist, Mission Operations Centres at ESOC, and Instrument Teams.
Your tasks and responsibilities will include:
- Setting up and maintaining the system engineering processes of the EnVision Science Operations Centre (SOC) and supporting the entire Science Ground Segment (SGS) during the development and operations phases;
- Defining, formalising, and maintaining the required EnVision SOC interfaces with the Instrument Teams and the Missions Operations Centre;
- Leading the SOC system design and requirement definition;
- Leading the overall EnVision science operations integration and testing of the uplink and downlink systems, and coordinating the EnVision SGS test campaigns;
- Contributing to the definition and populations of the operations plan and associated operational procedures within the SOC and across the wider science ground segment elements;
- Maintaining and adapting the overall architecture and the system configuration during the cruise and nominal EnVision mission phases;
- Keeping abreast of technological developments in software engineering to detect potential applications within the Science Operations Department;
- Other tasks related to the Department's activities in science operations.
your position is expected to evolve to also support multi-mission solutions for science ground segments and potentially other planetary missions in development in the Division.
Minimum Requirements:
- Experience in software systems engineering (encompassing the full project lifecycle from requirements analysis and system design through to development, verification, and validation), preferably for science operations;
- Experience in development, operations, and maintenance of ground infrastructure and/or software systems, preferably for science operations;
- Experience in space missions' operations;
- Experience in R&D projects;
- A master's degree in engineering, space science, space applications, or equivalent is required for this post.
Additional requirements:
- One or more of the following would be additional assets for the position:
- Experience in designing scalable and distributed systems, preferably for science operations;
- Experience in project management in development activities involving multiple interfaces in the context of space science;
- Knowledge of science data processing;
- Experience in operations planning;
- Strong problem-solving skills to deal with day-to-day operational challenges;
- Strong result orientation with the ability to set priorities and present practical solutions both orally and in writing;
- The ability to manage challenging situations proactively and constructively and to be customer focused.
People management experience would be an asset, as would international experience, i.e. outside your home country, as well as experience in diverse functional areas relevant to ESA activities.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness:
ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. We therefore welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, beliefs, age, disability, or other characteristics. Applications from women are encouraged. At the Agency, we value diversity, and we welcome people with disabilities. Whenever possible, we seek to accommodate individuals with disabilities by providing the necessary support at the workplace. The Human Resources Department can also provide assistance during the recruitment process.
