Our client is a leader in the development and operation of nanosatellites developed by students. They have acquired indepth competences in the field of design, manufacturing, testing and operation of nanosatellites and their subsystems, as well as in the area of space project management and product assurance in the framework of university space projects. The client has an AIT Assembly integration and Test Facility, 3 CDF Concurrent Design Facility and both UHF and Sband Ground Stations. They develop their own iU and EM CubeSat nanosatellite platforms with the support of the Van Allen Foundation and both the French and the European space agencies. Overview The Space Mission Concept and Development Researcher has to bring together knowledge and analysis from physics, electronics, flight dynamics, space missions design, space environment, space mechanics, propulsion and attitude and orbit control systems used in spacecraft, cost and risks management to design and evaluate cutting edge mission concepts for developed nanosatellites. The client has recently acquired a concurrent design facility CDF using VTS and IDMClC software the same than in NASA, CNES and ESA to perform mission and system analysis considering all project constraints and objectives. The Postdoctoral researcher shall be in charge of evaluating many mission analysis and optimise the system to be developed. Heshe also has to evaluate the resources needed to perform the mission from Phase 0 to Phase F. Tasks Operate and maintain the Concurrent Design Facility to perform mission and system analysis Prepare and manage Concurrent Design Facility monthly sessions with industrial and research partners Report CDF session outputs Identify feasible mission concepts and evaluate the opportunity regarding market trends Work closely with the research and development directorate to identify Technological breakthroughs needed to accomplish future missions Define 5 feasible mission and system concepts and prepare the documentation associated with the Phase OA reviews Development plan, Gantt planning, resource organisation plan and preliminary validation plan, risk assessment and mitigation plan Science mission concept, nanosat space application market trends and innovative space solution surveys including future launch opportunities Team Work prepare and attend meetings, contribute to operation, deliver requested data package, report to Directorate, contribute to activities, be a representative in external workshops and conferences Qualifications Ph.D. Qualified Skills Fluency in English Space project management, space standard, space laws, and basics of product Engineering Software, STELA, DAS, DRAMA, Key design assurance Fundamental laws of mechanics and orbital mechanics, Orbital manoeuvres Mission analysis and System definition Engineering, Product Assurance and Management resource Space missions and Space environment Assembly, Integration and Tests General concepts of space vehicle architecture and navigation Ground segment and Ground support Equipment Facility Propulsion Attitude determination and control Onboard systems and associated test benches Software Concurrent elements for successful missions, in particular related to human spaceflight Computer literacy Flexibility to work outofbusiness hours during satellite commissioning and longterm testing
