Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in modelbased Verification Validation of autonomous systems

2018-05-18 14:25:31| 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, verifictaion 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 compplex missions and an increased perfromance. For the design of such missions, increased use is made of modelbased methods and tools, impacting the engineering information manageent along the life cycle of the development. The impact of this evolution on the verifictaion and validation process needs to be fully understood to ensure the required quality of these missions. Interested candidates are highly encouraged to visit ESA website www.esa.int Fields of activitiesresearch Future space exploration missions will require autonomous robotic systems with selfawarenessadaptation capabilities. Achieving acceptable performance and assurance levels for an autonomous robotic system will require substantial verification and validation activities. Coverage of these activities will take place at several levels and at several points in the Vcycle, and will be provided through both experimentation and test benches. Finally and importantly, the verification and validation approach must match the processes increasingly being adopted by space system integrators modelbased system engineering and increasingly virtual engineering, requiring the ability to switch effortlessly between the physical and virtual worlds and to apply consistent test conditions and test results analysis in either case. In this respect the Harwell Robotics and Autonomy Facility HRAF provides a framework for the testing and evaluation of autonomous robotic systems. Initiated a few years ago, its incremental development has focused on the HighLevel Architecture HLA based distributed simulation environment and planetary rover field tests. In support of this development, the research will address the verification and validation coverage for systemlevel testing on the bench as part of modelbased engineering for specifying, developing, testing and evaluating autonomous robotic systems. In particular, a simulationbased validation methodology, including worst case scenarios and reference use cases, will be defined, and the selected blackbox testing methods will be developed and evaluated on the HRAF. The research will involve SysML or equivalent modelling at system level and will consider a planetary rover as the main application. The post will involve collaboration at ESA Directorate level as well as with 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.
