Solenix is specialized in the provision of highquality software engineering, technical consulting and operations services in the aerospace domain. This vacancy note concerns an onsite consulting position at ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany. Job Description We are looking for an Attitude Monitoring Engineer to support the Flight Dynamics Operations Team at our customer, ESOC. The primary areas of responsibility for this team are GNC monitoring and control, orbit determination and control for Science Missions, covering tasks in the domains of orbit determination, trajectory optimisation, GNC command generation and GNC telemetry monitoring. The team mainly supports the EXOMARS RSP, Juice and Euclid missions. However, as part of the division, support to other missions such as GAIA, Bepi Colombo, Mars Express, ExoMars TGO, Hera and Solar Orbiter, can also be expected. The general activities to be supported depending on the phase of the mission are Command Generation Execution of and support to operational tasks Generation of task related command parameters Generation of task related reports Mission Planning Support Execution of and support to operational tasks Generation of mission planning related products, such as schedules and planning input Attitude and TM monitoring Retrieval of TM of the onboard GNC systems Decoding and analysis of GNC TM Sensor and actuator calibrations Generation of auxiliary data for mission exploitation Trajectory optimisation Trajectory definition Analysis and implementation of trajectory targets and constraints Trajectory optimisation and determination of optimum manoeuvre strategies. Orbit determination Preprocessing of meaurements Orbit determination Generation of orbital products Orbit geometry analysis Flight Dynamics System Development Specification of modifications, enhancements and additions to existing software elements Implementation of modifications, enhancements and additions to existing software elements Installation of modifications, enhancements and additions to existing software elements on operational platforms design, coordination and implementation of tests Participation in tests Setup procedures Flight Dynamics SubSystem configuration Coordination of internal and external interfaces and activities across subsystems Mandatory Requirements University degree in a relevant engineering field, astronomy, mathematics or physics Very good skills in linear algebra, in particular for problem solving related to geometry in the Euclidean 3dimensional space. Being familiar with different representations of rotation in 3D, thus including the representation of SC attitude cosine direction matrix, Euler symmetric parameters quaternions, Eulerangles Very good skills in calculus in one or several variables. Skills in numerical methods for equations solving integration of differential equations function approximation and interpolation optimisation linear algebra problems Very good skills in classical mechanics, including kinematics and dynamics of point masses dynamics of rigid bodies dynamics expressed in noninertial reference frames, e.g. including dynamics in rotating frames, rotation dynamics expressed in body fixed frame conservation laws in mechanics gravitational forces and field orbit dynamics, keplerian orbits and Kepler laws ability to solve mechanics problems via analytical mechanics methods e.g. lagrangian formulation. Skills to apply above knowledge to develop solutions to technical problems in cooperation with customers and other experts. Ability to define, implement, validate and operate software which applies the above solutions, using C as main programming language knowledge of UnixLinux, scripting languages and Fortran 77952003. Desirable Requirements Familiarity with the ESOC environment Familiarityexperience with Flight Dynamics operations engineering tasks Experience dealing with external interfaces Experience with Linux, network services and protocols, and system administration The ability to multitask efficiently working on multiple activities, multiple subsystems and if applicable multiple missions simultaneously. Work Location Darmstadt, Germany Dates Application Deadline 22 March 2021 Start of Work July or August 2021 Important Notes Before applying to this position, please read the page How to Apply on the Solenix website under Career.
