Post Description DEIMOS is selecting an engineer to be integrated in the System Engineering and Earth Observation Mission Analysis SEEOMA Competence Centre of the Flight Systems Business Unit. The work of the SEEOMA Competence Centre is oriented to supporting the design of space missions from a mission engineering point of view mostly for ESA, EC and system integrators, as well as designing and developing system and mission analysis tools to assess mission scenarios and architectures, operations concepts, system performances, and to perform research in celestial mechanics and its applications. As a matter of reference, DEIMOS activities encompass Earth observation, science and lunar missions Formation flying and satellite constellation systems Satellite rendezvous and active debris removal ADR Space transportation systems and reentry vehicles Flight dynamics Space system engineering Planetary entry, descent and landing System and mission analysis tools and simulators for the design, analysis and operations of space missions Main Duties The following types of responsibilities are envisioned Modelling and simulation of space missions and systems, including space environment and space vehicle dynamics. Mission design and analysis for Earth observation, science, lunar and active debris removal ADR missions. Mission design and analysis of multisatellite systems constellations, formation flying, convoys in support to the system design process. Specification, design, development and validation of system and mission analysis tools to support the Mission Engineering processes, in particular to enable the assessment of mission scenarios and architectures, operations concepts and system performances. Specification, design, development and validation of optimised mission planning algorithms and tools. Specification, design, development and validation of flight dynamics tools. Play an active role in fostering the consolidation of the engineering processes and promoting technology research, innovation and development actions. Participation in andor support to Earth observation, science, lunar and ADR programme activities covering phases 0, A, B, C, D and E. Education Required a recognised engineering degree aerospace, mechanical, electrical, control, computer science engineering or a related degree e.g. physics Desired postgraduate studies e.g. M.Sc. or PhD on aerospace, flightorbital dynamics, simulation or software engineering Professional Experience Engineer with at least 1 year experience in the practical application of the domains relevant to the post relevant M.Sc. PhD studies would also be considered Technical The following skills are required for the post Classical mechanics theoretical background High knowledge of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics Experience in Earth observation, science or active debris removal mission design and analysis experience in ESAEuropean programmes is welcome Programming languages MATLAB andor CC Software engineering methods and techniques Other skill desired for the post are Knowledge of optimisation theory and techniques Other programming languages Java, Fortran Object oriented programming Use of mission analysis COTS GMAT, STK, etc. Language Skills Good level of English, spoken as well as written Personal Skills High motivation Initiative and autonomy to solve complex problems Responsibility towards the customer and team mates Willing to work in international groups
