The Position This position is based at ESOC in Darmstadt. It is fulltime and permanent and expected starting date will be January 2022. We are looking forward to meeting you! ResponsibilitiesDuties You are passionate about space flight dynamics with an appetite for sophisticated software development 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 number of new service positions within flight dynamics division we are searching for a flight dynamics authority to complement our growing service team! You will primarily support and execute launch preparation, LEOP and operational tasks for upcoming missions like ExoMars RSP, Juice and Euclid in close collaboration with other specialists. Further services might be required for Gaia, Bepi Colombo, Mars Express, ExoMars TGO, Hera and Solar Orbiter. The available service positions cover the full variety of flight dynamics orbit determination, trajectory optimisation, command generation and attitude determination as well as test and validation. In addition, you will invent and implement improvements and additions to existing software elements for computation of the dynamical behaviour of satellites, typically on Linux workstations and mainly using the C programming language. You will install the software on the operational platforms and design, coordinate and perform the testing.
