Space Applications Services performs and supports system and software engineering for the European Space Agency ESA, National Space Agencies and the aerospace industry. We are involved in international manned unmanned spacecraft programmes, earth observation, science, exploration, communications and related technology development. We require staff, wishing to join our team to work in a dynamic international environment. Tasks and Responsibilities The work will be performed at the European Space Operations CentreESTEC in Darmstadt, Germany. The Spacecraft Controller shall operate all or part of the mission system, which may incorporate parts of the ground segment as well as the space segment, as specified for each mission. Prelaunch, the Spacecraft Controller will be required to assist in configuring and testing the operational system to support the operations and may be required to develop methods or tools to assist in the execution of the operations. In order to discharge these responsibilities the Spacecraft Controller is required to become familiar with the mission and the control facilities at his disposal and will take part in simulations and prelaunch test campaigns, and in postlaunch refresher training and simulation. Post launch, Spacecraft Controller will Monitor and control all operational progress, in accordance with the scheduled operations plan, ensuring that safety criteria are respected and that all operations are conducted in accordance with the established procedures Perform specific operations relating to individual missions, as defined in the operations plans, or as instructed by the responsible SOM, SOE or Analyst Immediately inform the responsible personnel when an anomaly is detected, in accordance with the established procedures take corrective action as necessary, applying the contingency emergency procedures approved for the mission Coordinate with the responsible personnel for any scheduling required Prepare operations reports as requested Assist in the production of printouts, graphs and plots for offline evaluation and analysis Prepare and complete all necessary forms for the daily operations routine. During the routine phase of a mission, the Spacecraft Controller will be expected to follow regular training and simulations for the inorbit spacecraft. It covers training to keep staff proficient, and training on new operational procedures. Training will be given by the appropriate Analyst and Operations Engineer. Regular use of a spacecraft simulator is to be planned for. This task is to be considered essential to the continued successful operation of a mission, but has a lower priority than operational tasks. Qualifications and Experience Applicants should have a technical education in appropriate subject, our bachelor degree in a relevant discipline. No previous experience is requested. Furthermore, candidates are required to have following skills Familiarity with the current ESOC satellite control systems, namely SCOS2000. Ability to work as part of a small team and under pressure.
