ResponsibilitiesDuties You are passionate about space flight dynamics and looking for a meaningful opportunity to enfold your talents? Then you are on the right track! We are supporting the European Space Agency with highly qualified services at the European Operations Control Centre ESOC in Darmstadt. For a new service position within flight dynamics division we are searching for a flight dynamics authority to complement our international service team! You will support and execute operational tasks for Interplanetary Missions including ExoMars RSP, Juice and Euclid and potentially Gaia, Bepi Colombo, Mars Express, ExoMars TGO, Hera and Solar Orbiter. This includes orbit determination, trajectory optimisation, GNC command generation and GNC telemetry monitoring. In addition, you will specify and implement improvements and additions to existing software elements for computation of the dynamical behaviour of satellites, typically on Linux workstations. You will install the software on the operational platforms and design, coordinate and perform the testing.
