The Space Division offers integrated system solutions in the business segments Space, Security and Earth observation. We are open to new ideas and focused on the future. If you would like to work in a constructive and friendly atmosphere in which you are encouraged to ask questions, please send us your application. Well be delighted to hear from you. For the location in Darmstadt Germany we are looking for a Satellite Simulator Software Engineer to support the evolution and maintenance of the EUMETSAT spacecraft simulators Systems. The work covers the support to routine operations for existing missions e.g. EPS and MSG, coming missions such as Copernicus Sentinel3 and other future missions such as Meteosat Third Generation MTG, JASONCS and EPS Second Generation EPSSG. Tasks Software engineering and software maintenance of multimission and missionspecific Mission Control Function systems and tools for GEO and LEO missions. In particular the following systems and tools Monitoring Control Systems and tools, Onboard software management tools, Flight Dynamics Facilities, Mission Planning Facilities, OpsPrep Facilities, Data analysis and reporting tools Software engineering for the reusage of Mission Control Function systems and tools with the separation between generic kernel and missionspecific extensions Automation of application software testing Software engineering and software maintenance of satellite simulators Ground Segment Reference Architecture Software support to operations The successful candidate will provide hisher prime support to the evolution and maintenance of the EUMETSAT Spacecraft Simulators in general and in particular to SIMULUS based simulators. The tasks will typically include Maintenance and Evolution Activities Preventive and corrective maintenance including the investigation and correction or following the corrections implemented by external contractors of anomalies in the software facilities and verification testing of the fixes Evolutions and changes generation andor analysis of userdriven and maintenancedriven software requirements, software design of the technical solutions, following the procurement of the changes with external contractors and verification testing of the changes Maintenance test procedures generation and updates of maintenance test procedures at software facility level and at system level Support and development of the verification infrastructure development andor procurement of scripts tools to perform installation checks, nonregression, functional and performance testing. Analysis and implementation of mechanisms or tools allowing the automatic or semiautomatic verification testing of the application software Coordination of the production of new software releases or patches, delivery acceptance and installation onsite. This activity includes the technical coordination of the production by an external contractor of new releases or patches of the application software, liaison with the EUMETSAT operational users, participation to technical reviews, participation to infactory at contractor premises acceptance testing campaigns and coordination of the installation of the releases or patches onsite at EUMETSAT Execution and coordination of software verification and nonregression testing campaigns. This activity includes preparation of test data, running the test procedures on the target system, generation of test reports, analysis of results and troubleshooting of problems User Support Software support software support to the endusers of the application software Ensure operations continuity by provision of oncall services and software support to operations Training prepare and provide training covering systemusage and maintenance aspects of the mission control systems Technical Management Documentation generation and updates of technical documents Meeting participation participation to technical, progress and team meetings as needed and requested Routine reporting preparation and production of routine reports as necessary Contractor management at technical level acting as point of contact with the contractor for technical discussions, organizing periodical technical meetings with the contractor Critical review of industry provided requirements and design definition related to existing andor future simulators spacecraft models and simulator infrastructure components Software engineering framework support Analysis activities focused on a common software engineering framework for the GSI Mission Control Applications and Tools Team Development of tools implementing this software engineering framework Essential requirements In addition to having a University degree in a relevant engineering discipline, the successful candidate shall demonstrate significant knowledge and experience in the area of simulator software maintenance, evolution and testing as well as space segment requirements and design with the following mandatory areas Domain Skills Experience minimum 3 years in software maintenance and evolution of Spacecraft Simulators based on SIMULUS software suite from ESAESOC. In particular, experience in all the following SIMULUS components is considered mandatory SIMSAT, Ground Models, Generic Models, REFA, Emulator Suite and tailoring, UMFEGOSMF Experience minimum 3 years in the definition and design of SMP2 compliant software models of spacecraft service platform subsystems Knowledge and understanding of space related standards ECSS and CCSDS with specific reference to ECSSE7041A TM and TC packet utilization Software Development Maintenance Skills Experience minimum 3 years in the full cycle of development of application software for SIMULUS based simulator, 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 minimum 3 years in corrective maintenance, integration and verification testing activities of application software following formal software engineering processes. This includes requirement verification, generation of test plan and test procedures, nonregression testing, generation of test data, generation of test tools, running the test procedures on the target system, generation of test reports, and anomaly tracking, investigation, correction and testing Experience in defining automatic testing suites at unit and components integration level Software Engineering Skills Experience minimum 3 years in developing and maintaining software applications using Java and C programming languages under UNIX operating systems and development and maintenance of javascript scripts SIMULUS scripting technology Experience minimum 3 years in developing and maintaining software applications using objectoriented technologies, Unified Modelling Language UML for software design and CASE design tools like Magic Draw It would be a distinct advantage for the key person to have knowledge andor experience with some of the following Domain Skills Experience with MICONYS ESOC components SCOS2000, NIS and SLE API Experience on TMTC front ends like CORTEX Experience with software support to operations and in particular to TMTC database and OBSW images import System Maintenance Skills Experience with technical management of contractors working at offsite premises and responsible for application software evolution and maintenance Software Technology Skills IBM DOORS requirement management tool Experience in version Control Systems CVS and SVN Linux Operating System Interprocess communication mechanisms, in particular TCPIP and CORBA standards XML processing schema design and validation Eclipse Rich Client Platform applications development and maintenance Experience with static and dynamic software analysis tools in support to testing and troubleshooting Other Information Fluency in English is mandatory Start date September 2014
