LSE Space GmbH is truly an international company with widespread expertise in large international projects often crossing multiple organizational, cultural, and technological barriers. LSE Space is looking for experienced Operations Engineers mfd in order to fulfill the duty of Meteosat Satellite Operations Engineer for our customer EUMETSAT in DarmstadtGermany. For our activities at EUMETSAT, we are currently seeking to employ highly motivated and enthusiastic Meteosat Satellite Operations Engineer to work in an exciting innovative international environment. The Meteosat Third Generation MTG system is currently under development and it is expected to enter routine operations approximately one year after launch of the first MTG satellite, currently planned in late 2021. The MTG system is composed by six 3axis stabilised satellites Four Imaging mission satellites MTGI1 to MTGI4 Two Sounding mission satellites MTGS1 and MTGS2 For MTG it is necessary to establish a dedicated Ground Segment and upgrade the existing MultiMission Infrastructure to support the MTG operations in parallel with the operations of the MSG system. Similarly, the whole of the operational baseline including the relevant Operational Static Data OSDs needs to be prepared by the MTGOPIT team with extensive and direct contribution of the Meteosat Spacecraft Operations Engineers SOE team. The team shall be involved in the operations of all Meteosat spacecraft, and all related ground segment and operational services, in the various operational scenarios including MTG transition from the preoperational to the routine operations phase, including operational scenario validation testing OSVs, support to the LEOP and commissioning. The Meteosat Satellite Operations Engineering Team shall contribute to Preparation and execution of all relevant Meteosat operations Routine operations as well as special operations commissioning, decommissioning, technology tests, endoflife and reorbiting operations, support to LEOP operations as required Contingency recovery operations All required interactions with other teams inside and outside EUMETSAT e.g. IMPF, MPEF, FDS, DADF etc. and also RAL, IC for GERB operations and COSPASSARSAT for SR Preparation and execution of the plan and schedule of the satellite operations in coordination with the others teams including mission planning checks Support to satellite operations from the Main Control Centre in Darmstadt and when needed from the Backup Spacecraft Control Centre currently located in Fucino Oncall operations engineer rota, such that safe and efficient operations are ensured by the Spacecraft Operations Team on a 247 basis Interaction with all other operations teams such as for example the Monitoring and Control System MCS, Mission Planning MP, Flight Dynamics FD, but also with external operational entities or services Operation of all satellite and components related to operations engineering for the platform, payload and instrument, including data handling, instrument parameter, Onboard Software OBSW maintenance, as well as FDIR and operations security aspects. Continuous monitoring of Spacecraft performance and status Analysing, trending and reporting on a routine basis the spacecraft status and performances e.g. at the daily morning meeting and weekly ops team meeting using the tools indicated by EUMETSAT and notifying the TO in case of unexpected behaviours Preparation of Operations Reports and analysis of the satellite system performance Development , validation, maintenance of specific toolscript identified from operational needs Operations preparation of the Meteosat Third Generation Satellites Contribution to the space segment and system reviews as required Review the Operational deliverables provided by industry e.g. FOM, FOM procedures, TMTC MIB Files and contribute to their acceptance by EUMETSAT Preparation and execution of the Operational validation campaign and rehearsals in view of demonstrating the Operational Readiness before Launch Contribution in the role of user to the integration activities of the MTG Ground Segment components e.g. MOF, SATSIM, etc.and developing technical expertise of the facilities supporting the satellite operations Contribution to the MTG LEOP preparation and IF aspects with the MTG system team Production, verification, validation, maintenance and documentation of the operational baseline data units, manual and automated procedures, TMTC Database etc.. This includes Identification and preparation of new procedures and procedure updates required for MSG, MTGI and MTGS satellites Assistance on use of CF APEX procedure configuration tracking and validation toolssoftware Contribution to review, production and maintenance of the operational guides and documents Contribution to Listening tests LIT, Communication Confidence Test CCT, System Validation Tests SVT and Operational Scenario Validation OSV tests preparation, procedures development and validation and execution of those tests Preparation of all relevant operations guides Contribution to the satellite simulator development and use including maintenance of its operations guide for both routine operations support and operations preparation Raising and tracking of Anomaly Reports, including investigations at subsystem level and regression testing of associated fixes and depending on the programme phase the necessary cooperation with the Project team at ESTEC and the satellite manufacturer Preparation of material for operations training and support to the training officer, for rehearsal of operations and for team proficiency training of the Spacecraft Operations Engineers as well as other members of the Control Centre Team e.g. Analysts and Controllers using the space and ground segment simulators and simulation Participation in any necessary meetings and reviews with external partners As requested contribution to review or preparation of documentation and participate to activities to enhance knowledge transfer across EUMETSAT geostationary missions Contribute as required to the MSG to MTG transition phase and to Full Operational Capability FOC operations build up Participate as requested to Component Health Analyses and Reporting Tool CHART development in liaison with the Spacecraft Operations Engineering Team members of other missions e.g. EPSSG, Copernicus S3. YOUR PROFILE In addition to having a University degree or equivalent in experience in a relevant discipline, the team shall have a wellbalanced and distributed experience in all following mandatory skills and each of the key persons shall have experience in at least two of these mandatory skills Experience of Spacecraft Operations preferably on Geostationary Earth Orbit GEO, spinning andor 3axis stabilised spacecraft with responsibility for one or more platform subsystems or instruments during operational validation, LEOP, commissioning or routine operations phases Experience of Spacecraft Operations Preparation preferably on Geostationary Earth Orbit GEO, with responsibility on development and validation of operational baseline procedures, database etc. including validation tools e.g. SC simulator and ground segment MC facilities 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 the operation or development of satellite ground segment facilities, in particular procedure development, monitor and control, mission planning, onboard software management, performance analysis, configuration management and simulator facilities.
