Aurora is an established supplier of skilled manpower to ESA and in particular at ESTEC and ESAC. Aurora has the opportunity to expand our support to ESA in the domain of EDP Electromagnetics Components Data Power Systems Engineering. We are looking for an Onboard Payload Data Processing Engineer to support the RF DIgital Equipment Payload Data Processing Section. Happiness of our employees has proven key to obtaining excellent results and a client who also regards us highly for excellent service. Overview One of the following two profiles are requested RF Instrument Data Processing Engineer A diverse range of support tasks is required to be carried out, encompassing algorithmic and hardware definition, development and validation, involving software, hardware and system constraints. These can be grouped as the following Design, development and performance evaluation and characterisation of control, data and signal processing units for Radio Frequency payloads and instruments. Definition, design, development, performance evaluation and verification of data and signal processing functions and algorithms via simulation techniques e.g. Matlab, Python, prototyping SW. Design, verification and validation of payload data and signal processing chains. Hardware software optimization and implementation of payload data processing functions on processors e.g. uCuP, DSP, GPU, AI accelerators and FPGA e.g. MPSoC, RfSoC based platforms. Radio Frequency payloads instruments related ASICs and device specification validation. Specific engineering support in the above domains to mainstream ESA space projects, mainly for but not restricted to the development and testing phases. Optical Instrument Image Processing Engineer A diverse range of support tasks is required to be carried out, encompassing algorithmic definition, development and validation and involving software, hardware and system constraints. These tasks are expected to address processing functions focusing on payload performance image quality, data compressionreduction and data analysis. They can be grouped as the following Analysis of systemlevel needs and definition of system and subsystem requirements specifications for optical payload processing functions. Definition, design, development, performance evaluation and verification of image processing functions and algorithms via simulation techniques e.g. Matlab, Python, prototyping SW. Design, verification and validation of payload image processing chains in close collaboration with teams responsible for SW and HW implementation. Support to HWSW optimization and implementation of payload data processing functions on processors e.g. uCuP, DSP, GPU, AI accelerators and FPGA based platforms. Specific engineering support in the above domains to mainstream ESA space projects, mainly for but not restricted to the development and testing phases.
