Position Description The Station Computer II STCII is the central monitoring and control system for ESA ground stations. It is currently deployed on five ground stations of the ESA tracking network. The system is responsible for monitoring and controlling all ground station equipment, to apply all configurations necessary to support tracking of spacecraft and to receive telemetry from and to send telecommands to various spacecraft. The system implements a high degree of automation to support unmanned operation of ground stations in various Countries around the world. The STCII installed in the European Space Operations Centre ESOC in Darmstadt allows remote monitoring and control of all the supported ESA ground stations. The STCII system uses a configuration database, which configures the online system to operate on different ground stations and to support different spacecraft missions. Preparation of the configuration databases is supported by the socalled Ground Station Tailoring System GSTS. Emphasis of the project is in particular on the maintenance and the continuous development of the configuration databases tailoring. The design and development of the successor monitor and control system for the STCII will start in the next months and it will be based on a generic development between industry and the Agency. Consultancy in the design and development phase is expected as well as support in the migration to, and testing of, the new system. We are looking for an engineer to join the project team composed of 5 members working onsite at ESOC. Your future duties and responsibilities As part of the team, you will be responsible for the maintenance and the tailoring of the ESA Ground Station Monitoring and control system. You will be working onsite at ESOC in direct contact with the missions and the ground stations engineers, you will be involved in the daily live operations and in special events like, for instance, the launches and the critical manoeuvres. Most of the activities will be performed remotely from ESOC in Darmstadt, but occasional travels to the Ground Stations might be required. Project tasks will be Implementation of ground station and satellite specific procedures Configuration of the monitoring control system for new ground station devices and test preparation Installation and configuration of the tailoring system Requirements clarifications with the customer Provision of consultancy related to monitoring control system evolution Configuration of new ground station devices System commissioning on ground stations Configuration, setup, and validation of workstations and servers for deployment on ESA ground stations Setup of system test environment in ESA Test Station TCPIP network configuration System administration for related IT systems Required qualifications to be successful in this role You should have a university degree in an engineering discipline or similar and 23 years relevant experience.
