Tasks and Responsibilities The contractors will perform the following general tasks Modelling of systems including spacecraft, ground segment and other required auxiliary systems in support of system design and verification Modelling of system of systems in support of system and enterprise architecting Definition and validation of metamodels methodologies in support of system modelling activities Integration and verification of industrial elements in the end to end performance scenario Provide technical support to projects and end users in the domain of AIT and AIV Isolate software problems, report and develop patches for section supported methods and tools Evaluate needs and generate requirements for enhancements Evaluate relevant new methods, tools and standards for the domains covered Provide technical support for detailed definition of flight operations authoring and viewer tools and products for crewed missions Maintain the corresponding tools and infrastructure. The postholder will be assigned to the System Modelling and Functional Verification Section of the Software Systems Division. Assignment is for fulltime support of a project AIT phase. The tasks include Definition and updating of the requirements related to the Satellite AITAIV e.g. plans, test specifications, test procedures Ensuring the definition and implementation of a satellite andor payload AIV programme which meets the technical and programmatic requirements Monitoring and control of subsystem and system level integration and test activities e.g. participation to test reviews, test readiness, test boards, attendance to test execution Monitoring and control of the industrial activities related to the procurement, development and maintenance of the ground support equipment, including the instrument AITAIV and corresponding ground support equipment Support to Satellite, Subsystems and Instruments Reviews in the areas of EGSE, AIT and AIV Support to the launch campaign preparation, monitoring and control of all integration and test activities at the launch site Early identification of problem areas and support to their resolution Support the review and definition of the in flight and onground calibration and characterisation activities from an EGSEAIT viewpoint In the execution of his tasks, the AITAIV Engineer will liaise closely with other members of the project team. In performing his tasks, he will be further supported by experts from the Technical Directorate as required. The Contractor will be part of TECSWM System Modelling Functional Verification Section, Software Systems Division, System, Software InOrbit Demonstration Department and support the Sentinel 3 Project. The Contractor will support the ESA Sentinel3 project for all the aspect relevant to the implementation of the Assembly, Integration and Test of the Sentinel3 B, CD Spacecraft. These activities will be performed in close cooperation with the project Team, and under supervision of the Sentinel3 Spacecraft Engineering AIV Manager. In particular the tasks include Ensuring a proper definition and implementation of the Assembly, Integration and Test activities at all Spacecraft levels, including definition of test documentation Supporting the coordination of all AIT related matters, including payloads, subsystem and equipment related tasks Supporting the Sentinel3 Team in the realisation of the Verification control process, including requirements traceability, allocation of verification methods, definition of verification documentation and final verification closeout Supporting the Sentinel3 Team in the definition of an AIT Programme consistent with the imposed constraints and the required testing to achieve system requirements verification, qualification and acceptance Supporting the maintenance and evolutions of Ground Support Equipment, including system databases, required to support of the AIT programme Supporting the optimized definition of environmental tests and the selection of adequate test facilities Supporting the monitoring of integration and test activities at industrial premises Supporting the relevant test reviews at all levels Contributing to the control of integration and test activities at all levels, in particular identifying schedule criticality and supporting problem solving activities Supporting the NCR discussions and the related NRB as appropriate. Experience and education The general required expertise for all of these activities includes but is not limited to Relevant engineering degree electrical engineering, space system engineering, computer science or related discipline Experience in Electrical and or functional verification of spacecraft system and subsystems Familiarity with the ECSS standards in verification and system engineering Familiarity with system modelling methods and tools Experience in requirements engineering and verification engineering. Specific Competence Requirements Good experience in system testing and payloads functional tests An ability to work in a project team with a sense of cooperation and negotiation with colleagues at ESA or within Industry is also required Availability to witness tests and to participate to AIT activities for relative long periods abroad, up to several months in the case of the satellite launch campaign. Specifically with reference to supportive tasks for the Sentinel3 project, the following requirements are applicable to this position Practical experience of working in spacecraft AIT Masters degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or equivalent Ability to work both autonomously and as part of a team within the boundaries of assigned tasks and a stringent schedule Experience in Assembly, Integration, Test of Flight Hardware, in particular Satellite AIT Good knowledge of GSE operations and infrastructure Experience in using DOORS for requirements traceability, allocation of verification methods and requirement verification Experience relevant to verification through simulation models, will also be considered Proficient in the English language spoken and written Extensive experience of system level functional and performance testing Experience in test result exploitation Electrical signal verification, analysis of test results generated by automated test scripts, etc. and anomaly investigation Experience with ESA projects is an asset Ability to travel to the satellite prime contractors premises frequently and to act as onsite support where appropriate during the satellite test and launch campaigns.
