RHEA is currently recruiting a Support for Science Operation Exomars at our clients premises in Villanueva de la Canada, Spain. Tasks and Activities Science Operations Engineer Uplink Data Production Tasks Definitionupdate and population of the SOC configuration controlled operations data instrument models, observation definitions, observation geometries. Definition and generation of the SOC operations plan and procedures Maintain the ICDs for the SOCPI team interface. SGS Development tasks Support SOC development o Provision of feedback on system performance and characteristics to system engineer and the sw developer throughout the production period as part of the iterative development process o Definition and development of test cases, pass and fail criteria Ensure readiness for Nominal Science Phase Operations o Configuring Nominal SOC systems to any payload activities preceding Nominal Science Operations e.g. Mars Capture Orbit MCO activities o Validating the initial set of nominal science phase operations data o Rehearse the LTP, MTP and STP operations process with the PI teams Operations Rehearsals ORs. Science Operations Engineering tasks Operations Preparation Activities in support to Long Term Planning o Scheduling of the PI teamdefined contributing observations o Validation with MAPPS to generate an operationally feasible candidate plan o Refining the LTP in response to modified LTP inputs o Freezing the LTP baseline and committing to configuration control. Medium Term Planning Activities o Kickoff MTP science planning by providing the PI teams with the baseline observation types o Scheduling defined contributing observations within the MTP period o Use of MAPPS to generate an operationally feasible candidate plan including pointing and resource allocations o Refining the science plan directly with the PI teams at the observation level o Gaining approval of the final MTP plan and freeze the MTP baseline o Generating the pointing and payload request files, then deliver to the MOC. Short Term Planning Activities o Generating a full set of instrument timelines ITLs for all four 1week commanding periods that correspond to the agreed MTP o Working with the PI teams to update their commanding for each CP in turn o Using MAPPS to check that any commanding updates respect the operations constraints and remain within the envelope established in the MTP o Generating the payload operations requests and submitting them to the MOC 1 week before execution for each CP.
