Job description For our customer in Darmstadt we are looking for a Operation Preparation Engineer to support EPSSG mission. The selected candidate shall be integrated in a service team of 4 to 5 FullTime positions.The main objective of operations preparation activities is to deliver the operations and maintenance procedures, operations guides, MMI definition and training packages to OPS Department. It also includes specific activities such as the handover to OPS and the transition from EPS routine operations to EPSEPSSG operations. The Operations Preparation phase involves several key activities leading up to the System Integration, Verification and Validation Review SIVVR, which is itself an input to the Launch and Operations Readiness Review LORR SatelliteSystem Validation Tests SSVTs are executed to validate the main elements of the Ground Segment located at EUMETSAT HQ required for command and control of the satellites. This involves connecting the Mission Control System at EUMETSAT to the Satellites in the AIT rooms in Toulouse and Friedrichshafen for SatA and SatB respectively and performing a series of operations which focus in particular on areas where the Satellite Simulator may not be fully representative. Operations Validation Slots OV slots will validate the Systems ability to perform representative operations, which are defined in the Reference Operations Plan, as well as all internal and external interfaces to the system. These OV Slots rely heavily on the Satellite Simulator for execution. The scope of the OVs can cover everything from contingency operations, to running the entire system in a nominal manner over a long duration. Simulations Campaign and Rehearsals. These are performed in the frame of the preparation for the Satellite In Orbit Verification SIOV activities. During these rehearsals, the most critical parts of the SIOV will be rehearsed, with the Project Support Team Industry and Partners involved in the procurementdevelopment of the satellite and instruments present at EUMETSAT. These will involve both nominal scenarios, and contingencies with anomalies injected into the Simulator. The candidate shall provide expertise in as many as possible of the following Competence Areas Satellite Simulator and Simulation officer Database OBSW External Interfaces and System Ops Prep Engineering System Engineering support tools for modelling and verification Performance Analysis trending Anomaly Handling Tasks and Responsibilities The Contractor shall be involved in all the operation preparation phases, and all related validation of the operational scenarios including Launch and InOrbit System Validation SIOV of the first pair of MetopSG satellites. The tasks the Contractor shall support have been split into two categories SAT tasks related to a satellite operation skills SYS tasks requirement system operations skills The Contractor shall contribute to Ops Prep development phase Ops Prep operations validation phase and team training Ops Prep engineering tasks to support Ground and Space Segments procurement and System teams. Administrate and maintain the MetopSG simulators SATSIM in operational condition SAT Skills and Experience The Key Person shall have the following attributes and skills relevant experience in provision of service in the field of satellite operations Mandatory skills Experience of Spacecraft Operations and or Operation Preparation preferably on Low Earth Orbit LEO, with responsibility for one or more platform subsystems or instruments during operational validation, LEOP, commissioning or routine operations phases Experience in Satellite Databases.

Experience with OBSW maintenance activities, in particular memory image maintenance and Configuration Management CM processes for both ground images and onboard memory management Experience in definition, development and validation of operations for the development of satellite ground segment facilities such as monitor and control, mission planning, onboard software management, ground stations monitoring. Experience as simulation officer, satellite simulator management, coordination of rehearsals and team readiness assessment for launch. Experience of SCOS2000 mission control systems and use of the APEX operations procedures preparation and execution tool Experience in the full cycle of development of application software for satellite simulators, following formal software engineering processes. This includes system requirement analysis, software requirement engineering, software design and implementation reflecting maintenance activities as well as new applications definition. Experience in satellite performance monitoring and reporting aspects including anomaly analysis and solving in liaison with satellite industry, procedure change control and configuration management processes Experience in requirementsbased design, development and verification process following the ECSS standards and using DOORS. Optional skills Proven experience in the phases of routine and commissioning. Specification of space system and operational concepts, facility requirements Familiarity with OnBoard Control Procedure concepts Familiarity with the ECSS Packet Utilisation Standard, customisation and usage Familiarity with system change control and configuration management procedures Data analysis software packages and programmingscripting skills in other coding languages such as Python Java Perl etc. Use of VBA for development of adhoc tools in MS Office applications.
