Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in modelbased Verification Validation of autonomous systems

2018-01-09 11:17:20| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

Research Fellow opportunity in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in modelbased Verification Validation of autonomous systems This post is classified F2 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Description The Software Systems Division covers engineering, verification and validation techniques for space systems, in particular in the functional domain. This includes missioncritical software, software technology for flight as well as ground systems, realtime software embedded in spacecraft systems and payloads, but also ground facilities software, including electrical ground support equipment, test benches, databases and simulation and modelling tools. Future missions will rely on an increased level of autonomy to enable more complex missions and an increased performance. For the design of such missions, increased use is made of modelbased methods and tools, impacting the engineering information management along the lifecycle of the development. The impact of this evolution on the verification and validation process needs to be fully understood to ensure the required quality of these missions. Interested candidates are highly encouraged to visit the ESA website www.esa.int. Fields of activitiesresearch Future planetary exploration missions will require complex autonomous robotic systems. These systems will operate in a partially unknown environment and will feature adaptation and selfaware behaviour that could lead to emergent behaviour. To address the shortcomings of traditional Verification and Validation VV approach for space autonomous systems, the incremental development of the Harwell Robotics and Autonomy Facility HRAF has been initiated. The present development focuses on two out of three main activities of the VV process simulation and experimentation, with planetary rover as main application. In support of this development, the research will address formal methods and verification as part of the model based engineering process for specifying, developing, testing and evaluating space autonomous systems. As to achieve the proposed ambitious goal, these specific objectives are defined Identify gaps where traditional VV framework are misaligned or deficient for space autonomous systems Develop methods to automate requirements evaluation for testability and traceability Develop techniques to support appropriate decisions with traceable evidence during design phase Demonstrate the benefits and advantages of the research outcomes in HRAF. The research will entail SysML or equivalent modelling at system level, and mixed reality testing of autonomous robotic systems using HRAF HLA based distributed simulation environment. The post will involve collaboration across ESA directorates, academic and industrial partners. Technical competencies Ability to conduct research autonomously Breadth of exposure coming from past andor current researchactivities Researchpublication record Knowledge relevant to the field of research Interest in space and space research Ability to gather and share relevant information Behavioural competencies Innovation Creativity Continuous Learning Relationship Management Self Motivation Communication Problem Solving CrossCultural Sensitivity Education Applicants should have recently completed, or be close to completion of a PhD in computer science, modelling methods, VV or systems engineering.
