With 2.000 employees worldwide, the CS Group is a leading IT company in France and in Germany, and a prime contractor in designing, integrating and operating mission critical systems. It has now been over 30 years that comprehensive CS solutions for space systems and applications, both on the ground and in space, have been part and parcel of this odyssey. You will work in the Operations Department of EUMETSAT as a member of the Flight Dynamics Team. The Role Your tasks in the area of Flight Dynamics Engineering will typically include Support to the routine operations of the flight dynamics systems of the operational EUMETSAT missions, including spacecraft orbit and attitude determination, events and ground station visibility predictions Support to the monitoring, analysis and enhancements of the flight dynamics input to the processing of meteorological images and products within the EUMETSAT ground segments Support to the planning, execution and evaluation of spacecraft manoeuvres Maintenance of the fuel budgets and fuelendoflife estimates for each of the operational spacecraft Distribution of the weekly orbital information and generation of input to the Quarterly Operations Report Support to the preparation activities in the area of flight dynamics and mission analysis required during the development of new EUMETSAT programmes and prior to the launch of new satellites Support to LEOP and commissioning operations for future launches of Geostationary satellites. Mandatory skills In addition to having a University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, the Consultant shall have at least 5 years experience in the field of Flight Dynamics and a good understanding of spacecraft andor ground segment operations. The elements listed below are mandatory Orbital dynamics of Geostationary satellites Analytical principles for orbit and attitude determination and control Routine operations of operational Flight Dynamics Systems Operational validation of Flight Dynamics Systems and associated operational procedures Architecture of operational Flight Dynamics Systems for Geostationary satellites e.g. Quartz, PEPSOC. English Fluent Oral and Written Furthermore, it would be a distinct advantage to have experience with some of the following Knowledge of the operational requirements of Geostationary spacecrafts at the system and subsystem level Experience with monitoring and analysis of spacecraft performance and behaviour Familiarity with statistical and graphical analysis tools e.g. Excel, MATLAB Orbital dynamics of Low Earth Orbit satellites To apply for the job , please send your CV with the reference DESFX1006012 to francoisxavier.laffontcs.fr with CC to recrutementcs.fr
