Vacancy 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 Robotics System Engineer This position is classified A2A4 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. This position forms part of ESAs Advance Recruitment Scheme which is established to provide appropriate staffing resources when requirements materialise. Appointments are therefore made for an initial duration of two years upon which the selected candidate may be appointed to a permanent post in the Agency. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Description Robotics System Engineer in the Automation and Robotics Section, Mechatronics and Optics Division, Mechanical Department, Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. The Automation and Robotics Section provides functional support to ESA projects and carries out technological research RD in the fields of space robotics systems from manipulators to autonomous vehicles and laboratory supporting automation and robotics in manned and unmanned missions. The Section specialises in the system engineering of space automation and robotics systems. Space robotics is an highly multidisciplinary subject. It depends heavily on the underlying space disciplines of structures, mechanisms, avionics, onboard software, ground operations and communication. However, packing these disciplines into a single system that moves, interacts physically with its environment and with humans with a certain degree of autonomy creates a complexity that is in itself a new discipline. System engineering of space automation and robotics systems is the discipline of specifying, designing and ultimately validating space automation and robotic systems that fulfill utilisation needs under defined environmental and operational constraints. Duties Reporting to the Head of Section and within the technical fields described above, the main tasks and responsibilities of the post holder will include providing expert technical support and consultancy to ESA projects, programmes and general studies in the field of space robotics systems throughout all project phases participating in feasibility studies, project reviews and evaluation of procurement proposals identifying critical development problems and assisting in their resolution contributing to the definition of technology development requirements and work plans for the Agencys technology programmes defining, initiating and managing RD activities covering both long and shortterm needs fostering new application areas for multidisciplinary activities, placing emphasis on innovative concepts, cuttingedge technologies and system architectures laboratory activities as required monitoring applicable scientific and technological trends and maintaining a stateoftheart expertise contributing to the dissemination of the results of the activities performed and the transfer of knowledge across the Agency. Duties may also include supporting other activities within the post holders field of competence. Technical competencies General background and specific experience in the technical domains covered by the position Understanding of related technologies, RD trends and the industrial landscape Project support experience in a relevant domain Experience with laboratory or field testing of relevant technical equipment Experience in the preparation of procurement activities for technology development and innovation statements of work, proposal evaluation, etc Experience in the management and monitoring of industrial activities, including participation in reviews Behavioural competencies Teamwork Customer Focus Innovation Creativity Problem Solving Results Orientation Planning Organisation Additional requirements Knowledge andor experience in the following domains will be an asset definition of utilisation concepts for space teleoperation, automation and robotics analysis functional, kinematic and dynamic of robot systems modeling in physical or simulated form of robot systems testing of robot systems physical interaction of robot systems with the environment and with humans e.g. terramechanics, haptics endtoend control covering the spectrum from teleoperation to autonomous control real time control of AR systems including human interfaces image processing and video control multimedia communication and interactive control. Education A Masters degree or equivalent qualification in an engineering discipline is required. Other Information For behavioural competencies expected from ESA staff in general, please refer to the ESA Competency Framework. The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset. The Agency may require applicants to undergo selection tests.
