Job Description System and Software Engineering for Science Operations Support to Science Operations Gaia This work package is intended to provide a number of specialised services to support ESA in developing the Gaia missions Science Operations Centre at ESAC. ESAs Gaia mission is designed to create an accurate and complete astrometric catalogue which will serve for decades to come More than 1000 Million objects mostly stars in our Milky Way down to apparent magnitude 20 will be repeatedly observed from the second Lagrange point L2 during the satellites nominal lifetime of 5 years. This will yield a raw data volume of about 100 TB 1 PB total from which each stars position, trigonometric parallax, and proper motion for a smaller subset also radial velocity will be determined to microarcsec accuracy typically 25 as for parallax at 15th magnitude. The data processing and catalogue creation is carried out by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium DPAC formed by around 400 individuals and six main data processing centres distributed across Europe. The Gaia SOC at ESAC is an integral part of DPAC and plays a key role in designing the overall system architecture and developing and operating parts of the Core Processing systems viz. Initial Data Treatment IDT, First Look FL, and the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution. ESAC will also form the hub for data exchange via the Main Database MDB. This MDB will form the input for all processing and will be augmented with the output of all processing to arrive at a new version. The production of processing software for Gaia will continue through operations to final catalogue production around 2019. The SOC maintains core software but also receives packages from external entities to be integrated and run in SOC. For any candidate experience in interacting with the science community would be an advantage. The selected candidate must be willing render the service in a team environment and to travel. Good interpersonal and communication skills are an advantage. The candidate should be comfortable in an international working environment and be fluent in written and spoken English, one of the official languages of ESA.

Aurora is an established supplier of skilled manpower to ESA and in particular at ESTEC and ESAC. Aurora has the opportunity to expand our support to Gaia within the Science and Robotic Exploration Directorate DSRE. Aurora currently has a team of 20 engineers and scientists at ESAC including 6 on Gaia itself. Overview ESAs Gaia mission is mapping to microarcsecond accuracy 1 of the stellar population of our galaxy that is around one thousand million objects down to apparent magnitude 20. Each object will be seen about 100 times over the five year mission. The data reduction of the 100 Terabytes of downlinked data is estimated to require a Petabyte storage system. The processing will be community wide effort performed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium DPAC in which ESAC plays a coordination role. The ESAC team in Gaias Science Operations Centre SOC is heavily involved in DPAC especially in the overall architecture and developing and operating key parts of the core processing systems. The core processing includes Initial Data Treatment IDT, First Look FL and the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution AGIS to solve for the many unknown astrometric parameters. The processing is distributed over five locations and ESAC forms the hub for data exchange via the Main Database MDB. The MDB forms the input for all processing and will be augmented with the output of all processing to arrive at a new version. The production of processing software for Gaia will continue through operations to final catalogue production in 2019.
