We are looking for a Researcher E3 to join our Ajilon Technology Aerospace team, working onsite at the European Space Agency. Location Noordwijk, The Netherlands Work type 0,9 FTE, ongoing Ajilon Technology Aerospace is a specialized Engineering consultancy with more than 30 years experience providing aerospace Engineers to our key partners in The Netherlands. Ajilon is a longstanding business partner of the European Space Agency ESA, with more than 110 employees recruited from across Europe currently supporting ESAs activities. Specific tasks to be performed Within the European Space Agency, the Advanced Concepts Team ACT is engaging in collaborative research relations with university institutes and research centres, focusing on advanced research topics of potential strategic interest to the space sector and in experimenting with new forms of teamwork. In order to achieve this goal a multidisciplinary research environment is provided, in which young scientific and engineering postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers carry out work on emerging technologies and innovative concepts. The candidate is expected to contribute to the development and the assessment of new concepts and technologies for space applications in close interaction with ACT researchers who work on a broad range of disciplines including, informatics, artificial intelligence, climate modelling, energy systems, fundamental physics, biomimetics, computational management science and mission analysis. Depending on the nature of the project, which will be specified in the relevant RT, the contractor will have to interface with the academic community in the related field. Perform research on the production of structural biocomposites with fungi for space applications and on Robotic manufacturing of fibrous structures in space. Set up maker space. General tasks to be performed Support the organisation and execution of concurrent engineering studies in cooperation with DTEC technical specialists, project teams and industry. Actively participate in CDF studies e.g. prephase A assessment and activities covering the position of System Engineer andor Team Leader, thus coordinating design and architecture sessions with specialists of other engineering disciplines. Contribute to the enhancement of the CDF infrastructure to support internal studies, including formalisation of design models, io parameter definition, visualisation presentation. Support the total CDF infrastructure and overall integrated modelling to ensure the functionality and performance of the CDF, including documentation, user manuals and databases. Organise and lead the development of concurrent engineering tools, mathematical and design models and methods in support of System Engineering and application to all phases of the project lifecycle. Promote the use of the CDF to support ESA programmes, industry and external customers. Organise and participate in the training of the CDF users. Provide System Engineering functional support to ESA projects, which encompasses interface with the project team directly or via the TECSYE project support engineer, interface if requested with the industrial team, participation in progress meetings and reviews, as requested by project work, and providing appropriate feedback about achieved progress and results. Provide support to the Directorates activities as requested within the field of competence. To successfully perform the above mentioned tasks, the following background experience is required Education on at least Master level Fibres, construction of fibres from lunar regolith and combination into space structures. Competence regarding maker spaces fablabs, space architecture and infrastructure. Relevant practical knowledge and experience in mission design, feasibility studies and the related informatics tools. Concurrent Engineering applied to space mission assessment and design, system design modelling tools. Knowledge and practice in the application of ESA SE Standards e.g. ECSSE10 series and SW engineering About ESAESTEC The European Space Agency ESA has sites in several European countries. The European Space Research and Technology Centre ESTEC is the largest site and the technical heart of ESA. This nursery of European space activities is located in Noordwijk, Netherlands. At ESTEC, about 2500 engineers, technicians and scientists work handson with mission design, spacecraft and space technology. Almost all ESA projects except launchers are managed from ESTEC. In Noordwijk, people work on science missions, manned space missions, Earth observation, telecommunications and navigation satellites. ESTEC provides extensive testing facilities to verify the proper operation of spacecraft, such as the Large Space Simulator LSS, acoustic and electromagnetic testing bays, multiaxis vibration tables and the ESA Propulsion Laboratory EPL.
