Vitrociset Belgium, a Vitrociset Group company, can claim almost 30 years of experience in the field of space operations engineering activities, starting in 1982 with the European Space Agency. Today Vitrociset Belgium is the Corporate Groups center of gravity for the Space activities in central Europe. With the headquarter located in Belgium and permanent offices presence close to ESAs centers ESOC D, ESTEC NL and ESAC SP, the company offers you major opportunities at its many sites abroad, an international environment and assignment to prestigious clients ESA, CNES, EUMETSAT, ASTRIUM. Summary of the role The key person shall work in the Operations and Services to Users Department supporting the Flight Dynamics Team in the FLO Division, while providing the main support to the EPSSG Programme and in particular to the operations preparation for Flight Dynamics operations. The tasks will be carried out mainly at EUMETSAT premises in Darmstadt, Germany, but travel mainly within Europe may be required for certain activities.. Key Responsibilities The main tasks envisaged are the Flight Dynamics support for the Operations Preparation of EPS SG during the detailed design Phase in 20162018 timeframe followed by the development implementation and validation phase 2018 onwards, including The detailed definition of Flight Dynamics operations concepts in the context of the EPSSG programme, contributing to the higher level programme operations documentation as relevant i.e. Reference Operations Plan and to the generation of operational procedures, Guides and operational configuration data Flight Dynamics databases and operational configuration data as required In the execution of previous task, take into account the current operational concepts and planned evolutions, in particular for relevant multimission andor reused elements Further coordinate the definition and implementation of Flight Dynamics Operations and Operational Interfaces with spacecraft, mission control, ground stations, dataproduct processing and system operations preparation teams, including launcher and LEOP services implementation and definition of handover conditions Support the review of documentation delivered by the satellite manufacturer as well as ground segment contractors, for Flight Dynamics operational aspects, including critical analysis of proposed designs, implementations and validation approaches and results, along with the necessary operational concepts envisaged Support ground segment development team through Flight Dynamics Subsystem acceptance and verification, as well as higher level system integration and validation testing, including the support to the definition of operational scenario validation testing Conduct where necessary mission analyses and preparation of Technical Notes to verify current operational approaches along with proposed contractors solutions Support the definition and conduct of Satellite System Validation Tests, and in particular for Flight Dynamics aspects e.g. manoeuvres Crosssupport and familiarization as necessary with current EUMETSAT Flight Dynamics operations of LEO satellites, including routine operations, planning and execution and evaluation of orbital manoeuvres, support to contingency operations, preparation and maintenance of relevant guides and procedures, operational configuration maintenance, and preparation of routine reports these activities may require intervention during the night and the nonworking days.
