Summary An experienced and knowledgeable engineer required to support ESA in the Science Operations Centre at ESAC. Objective The Science Operations Centres for these missions, located at the European Space Astronomy Centre ESAC in Spain, are responsible for all science operations planning, data processing and archiving tasks, being the essential interface between the science instruments and the spacecraft, and with the scientific community. Responsibilities Duties Specific tasks will include but will not be limited to Missionspecific SPICE Kernels Preparation This covers the preparation and maintenance of a complete set of SPICE kernels for each mission. This requires a solid understanding of spacecraft and instrument design, and its operations. Close communication with the instrument designers and science operations planners is required to define the necessary kernels. Auxiliary Data Conversion System Development and Maintenance Missions in operations are currently using the ADCS to automatically convert Flight Dynamics products and spacecraft telemetry into SPICE kernels. In addition, as part of a short external contract, the ADCS is being updated to cope with the requirements of the missions under development.These updates are Conversion of the new CCSDS format orbit and attitude products from ESOC Updates of the Spacecraft Clock Kernel based on received Time Correlation Packets Improved software documentation This covers all activities related to taking over the development and maintenance of the ADCS once the external contract is completed. Activities in this work package also include Coordination and development of any future functionalities required by the missions in operations and under development on an asneeded basis. Adaptation for conversion of Mission Analysis products to SPICE kernels Adaptation and support for the integration of this service in SOC systems Operations and maintenance of the existing ADCS services for missions in operations SPICE Archive Generation Each mission has the responsibility to produce auxiliary data sets for longterm archiving. A service is already in place for missions in operations, where a PDSformatted SPICE data set including all required documentation is regularly produced and delivered to the Planetary Science Archive PSA for ingestion in the archive. Missions under development will also need this service in the near future. The following tasks shall be performed Preparation of a data pipeline to produce SPICE data sets for longterm archiving in PDS4 format Maintenance and operation of the pipeline to produce SPICE data sets for longterm archiving Updates required resulting from the peerreview of any generated PDS SPICE data sets Auxiliary Data Handling Technical Support and Consultancy This covers activities related to technical support and consultancy to the Science Operations Centres, Instrument Teams and the scientific community on all aspects related to SPICE and auxiliary data handling. This includes Advice on auxiliary data handling aspects, including auxiliary data systems design and development support Support and consultancy to instrument teams and the scientific community on the usage of the SPICE kernels and any associated tools and services SPICE Training and Community Capacity Building This includes activities related to community capacity building to help in establishing a forum for addressing SPICE issues. Assistance from the NAIF team at JPL on SPICE training is envisaged. Coordinate, arrange and conduct SPICE training courses for interested team members from ESAs Solar System missions. Preparation of tutorials and programming exercises and material to train the Science Operations Centres and Instrument Teams in producing and using SPICE in the most efficient way. Scientific Geometry Data Analysis and Exploitation Services This covers research into and development of dedicated geometry handling, visualisation and analysis software using SPICE, GIS, and other relevant technologies, for its use in mission concept studies, science operations analysis, science operations planning and scheduling, trajectory and observation geometry visualisation 3D, scientific data processing, analysis and archiving Qualifications Experience University degree in computer science, or software engineering, or scientific discipline, or equivalent. Experience in interacting with the science community would be an advantage. Essential Skills A background in Computer Engineering, Physics or Mathematics, with a high level of expertise in Solar System geometry and ancillary information data and systems including SPICE is advantageous. Experience in providing support and interacting with instrument scientists and engineers and with the scientific community is mandatory. Strong computer programming skills, and a good knowledge of web applications programming would be an asset. Knowledge of the following would be beneficial Knowledge of science operations planning is an advantage Programming languages C, Perl, Python, IDL, Java, Matlab, Javascript, Fortran Development of Web Applications, experience with Apache Tomcat technologies Knowledge of XMLJSON technologies Experience with configuration and version control tools SVN, Git ECSS standards for software development Qualities The engineer must be willing operate in a team environment and to travel. Heshe should display good interpersonal and communication skills. The engineer should be comfortable in an international working environment and be fluent in English.
