POSITION ID 2207 ROLE FUNCTION EPSSG System Verification Validation Support in Darmstadt Germany GENERAL CONDITIONS START 01. October 2014 PERIOD 1 year 3 options for extension, each option stands for 1 year LOCATION Darmstadt TYPE OF BUSINESS Science CONTRACT fulltime employment WORKING LANGUAGE English, French is considered an advantage DEADLINE 25.08.2014 MUSTHAVE SKILLS MANDATORY The keyperson shall have the following mandatory experience and background University degree in the domain of engineering, physics or equivalent. At least 5 years of general experience in the field of engineering of space andor ground systems, in the area of Earth observation from space. At least 3 years of involvement in the preparation andor execution of VV activities at System level combined Space and Ground Segments or at Ground Segment level of such Systems. Experience with the preparation of test plans, test specifications andor test procedures, prepared for VV of such Systems. NICETOHAVE SKILLS CONSIDERED AS AN ADVANTAGE The following would be beneficial Experience with Satellite System Validation Tests andor RF test campaigns. Handson experience with the development of test tools and compilation of test data sets. Proficiency in using DOORS. Background in engineering andor VV activities related to Low Earth Orbit LEO systems. TASKS The activities performed by the keyperson will be an input for the overall System and Ground Segment VV activities. The keyperson will typically be involved in tasks related to the planning and preparation of System VV activities and following up assessing VV activities performed at Space Segment andor Ground Segment level as far as relevant for System VV. The tasks described below will initially focus on the needs of the EPSSG Preparatory Programme up to the end of Phase B but nominally cover also subsequent phases. Note also that the actual start of the execution of System VV test activities is currently expected for late 2018 and therefore related tasks are not the subject of this consultancy and thus not included in the list. Typical tasks will include Refinement maintenance of the approach method, level, phase, etc. to be applied for verification of EPSSG System Requirements and recording in the DOORS database, used for System requirements management. In this context, specifically ensuring consistency with the verification approach applied at subSystem level e.g., Space Segment, Ground Segment through analysis of relevant documentation and iterations with those responsible for subSystem level verification. If occurring during the period covered by the consultancy, assessment and tracking of verification activities at subSystem level and recording of relevant results in the DOORS database. Support for the preparation maintenance of System VV test plans and test cases, taking into account the established approach for verification and, for validation, operational scenarios as identified in the EPSSG Reference Operation Plan. Preparation of prelaunch VV test specifications, with details about test objectives, test steps, needed resources, test tools test data, passfail criteria, etc. Contribution to the identification and specification of test tools test data sets, with the aim to ensure consistency with the defined test cases and test setup. Support for contribution to the inhouse development procurement of test tools test data sets. Planning of the later execution of System VV tests, taking into account delivery dates of subSystem elements, constraints imposed by the EPSSG toplevel schedule such as dates for relevant System reviews, test interdependencies, etc. In addition the keyperson will be involved in some more general tasks Participation in relevant internal and external meetings. Regular review of System level documentation dealing with requirements, system concepts, architecture and design, technical analyses, to identify information of importance for test tools test data. In addition, and with the same aim, analysis of documents provided by other teams and by external partners. Support for the preparation of documentation for System level reviews, specifically the Preliminary Design Review PDR at the end of Phase B in 2015. Upon approval of the full EPSSG programme by Delegate Bodies, further reviews would take place in Phase CD during the subsequent years. Some activities will involve interactions with other teams contributing to EPSSG activities and also, as relevant for the work, with engineers at partner agencies.
