2018-05-09 19:25:31| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS
We are looking for a candidate who will follow the activities below Task 1 EndtoEnd Simulations for future EO Eart Observation missions Support the definition and development of the EndtoEnd E2E Mission Performance Simulators for future EO missions, including elaboration of SOW and technical specifications, participation to progress meetings and reviews Contributing to ensure the technical coherency and completeness of the simulation of the observation system, including, as needed, functional analysis, system level budgeting, system performance analyses, modelling of spacecraft andor payload subsystems and related data processing to meet system and mission requirements. Install and use those E2E simulators on the EOPSF IT infrastructure for mission performance evaluation and system tradeoffs for future EO missions, Ensure a consistent evolution and maintenance of the E2E simulators and a proper configuration and storage of the relevant inputoutput data sets. Initiate and support work in the area of modelling of system or subsystem aspects spacecraft, payload, ground processing for E2E simulators and System Engineering Tools Support the development of generic building blocks and modules, and aim at maximum synergy and reuse of those building blocks and modules from one E2E simulator to the next making use of ESA OpenSF infrastructure Task 2 System Engineering Tools for future EO missions Participate to the development of new System Engineering Tools for preliminary analysis and sizing of future EO missions, ensuring a coherent and representative modelling of each element of the system satelliteplatform and its subsystems, payload, ground processing contributing to the system performance Participate to the evolution and maintenance of the existing System Engineering Tools used in EOPSF Use the above System Engineering Tools for system tradeoffs, preliminary sizing and performance evaluation of future EO missions The profile for the ideal candidate is a researchanddevelopment oriented engineer with the following skills General knowledge of ESA Earth Observation missions, Background in space system engineering, and mission analysis, Solid background on IT and computer programming, MATLAB, Python, STK, MS Excel and CAD software knowledge as an asset Experience on modelling and simulation of observing system characteristics spacecraft, payload, ground processing, orbit and how they impact mission data quality and relate to system requirements and scientific goals is desirable Versatility to adapt to the specificities of each mission considering the wide range of possible EO observation techniques e.g. opticalmicrowave, passiveactive, imagersounder, nadirlimb observation and platforms e.g. minimicronanosatellite, orbits SunSynchronous or drifting, LEOMEOGEOHEO. Experience with system performance simulation as an asset Knowledge on optimisation techniques as an asset To complete the profile Proficiency in written and spoken English, Good communication and technical writing skills, Capability to coordinate a large amount of inputs, synthesise, summarise and take conclusions, A proactive approach, with initiative and capability to work independently. Preference will be given to candidates eligible for an EU or national personal security clearance at the level of CONFIDENTIAL or above
