Solenix is specialized in the provision of highquality software engineering, technical consulting and operations services in the aerospace domain. This vacancy note concerns an onsite consulting position at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, Germany. Consultancy Support for Ground Segment System Engineering 1313076 Job Description The Consultant will carry out tasks which support activities related to Phase B of the EPSSG programme and Phase CD of the MTG programme in the area of ground segment engineering. The ground segments of these programmes consist of TTC and payload acquisition ground stations, mission control systems, data processing and archiving facilities, data dissemination facilities and the associated network elements. The Consultant will perform typical system engineering activities such as Requirements engineering, which consists in requirement analysis and validation, requirement allocation, and requirement maintenance. Design, build and configuration which results in a physical architecture, described by its complete functional, physical and software characteristics. System analysis, which is performed for the purpose of resolving requirements conflicts, decomposing and allocating requirements, assessing system effectiveness. Performance of trade studies for assessing effectiveness, risk, cost and planning. Planning for integration and verification, which final objective is to demonstrate that the deliverables conform to the specified requirements. The consultant, as a minimum, shall accomplish the tasks identified hereafter. In support of Phase B Support the generation, refinement and management of the GS system requirements in the Ground Segment Requirements Document, including analysis of the system level requirements and design, requirements tracing and justification. Support the refinement and maintenance of the ground segment functional model. Support the definition of the Ground Segment architecture addressing the overall design of the ground segment system and its physical elements, including the GS deployment view, and generation of the associated architectural design documentation. Perform analyses architectural tradeoffs, technical budgets, risk analyses to ensure completeness and coherence of the design for all aspects related to system engineering, and contribute to the GS design justification and GS Technical Budgets documents. Support to the decomposition of the GS System into procurement elements including allocation of requirements and functions from GS system level, and contribution to the element level requirements, especially requirements common to all elements. Support the identification and definition of GS external interfaces, and internal interfaces between the different GS elements, and their documentation in ICDs. Support the generation of IVV related concepts and documents, including integration and verification plans and preliminary verification control documents. In support of Phase CD Support the completion of the detailed design of the ground segment system, including analyses architectural tradeoffs, system technical budgets, risk analyses to ensure completeness and coherence of the design for all aspects related to system engineering. Support the management of the requirements baseline, including for changes, deviations and waivers and evaluation of impact on element baselines. Support to GS element level activities, especially review of element level designs, ensuring coherency and consistency between the elements and the GS system level. Support to finalisation and subsequent maintenance of the ground segment internal interfaces definition Support to studies internal or external and the evaluation of their results, and related engineering proposals for the ground segment detailed design. Support to the performance of elements design for internally developed elements. Support to preparation of the ground segment system and constituent parts assembly, integration and verification detailed planning. General Support to the preparation of, and participation in, phase reviews. Participation in reviews and meetings at system, ground segment system and element level. Support to the preparation and maintenance of schedule, resource allocations and work breakdown structures for the GS system engineering activities.
