Directorate of Technical and Quality Management The European Space Agency is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from women POST Mechanisms Engineer in the Mechanisms Section, Structures and Mechanisms Division, Mechanical Engineering Department, Directorate of Technical and Quality Management. This post is classified in the A2A4 grade band of the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. LOCATION ESTEC, Noordwijk The Netherlands. DUTIES The postholder will report to the Head of the Mechanisms Section of the Structures and Mechanisms Division. The Mechanisms Sections activities cover the following technical domains space mechanisms and space mechanical systems mechanical elements for launcher, reentry and landing systems as well as for robotics and planetary exploration tools miniaturised mechanical devices and mechanical micronano technology developments tribology for space mechanisms. The incumbents duties will include establishing relevant technology development requirements within the Agencys basic and supporting technology programmes defining, initiating and monitoring appropriate industrial research and development activities providing support to projects, programmes and general studies participating in project reviews and procurement package evaluations identifying critical development problems and assisting in their resolution. This includes performing mechanism mathematical simulations, assessing mechanisms with respect to tribological design and sizing, kinematics, dynamics and performance, as well as the assessment of mechanisms development and verification test programmes monitoring applicable technological trends and maintaining stateoftheart expertise in the relevant domains pursuing product developments for science and commercial space market applications in the field of space mechanisms fostering new application areas for multidisciplinary mechanical systems, placing emphasis on innovative concepts, cuttingedge technologies and system architectures that can lead to potential breakthroughs in mission capabilities defining relevant infrastructure requirements in terms of testing, standards and numerical simulation. The postholder may also be called upon to support other activities within the domain of competence. QUALIFICATIONS Applicants for this post should have a Masters degree or equivalent qualification in mechanical or aeronautical engineering or a similar domain, with several years experience in the development of high reliability mechanisms in the aeronautics or space field. Candidates should have good interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work effectively and cooperatively in a diverse and international team environment and to define and implement solutions in line with team and individual objectives and project deadlines. In addition, they should have good analytical, organisational and reporting skills, a proactive attitude to solving problems and an interest in innovative technologies.
