Terma excels in stateoftheart niche technology and robust operational systems for the space industry. Working in close collaboration with customers and leading industry bodies, we develop advanced, missionspecific solutions. More than 150 employees are operating in all phases of space program development, Termas unique systems, software, and products are depended upon all over the world by astronauts, spacecraft, and organizations for mission success. Our solutions include customized systems for space science, earth observation, navigation, and telecommunication programs. They are based at Terma premises in Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands as well as numerous customer sites around Europe. The Mission The main responsibility of this position is to modernise, streamline and extend the existing ORATOS software tool, which provides the user interface for the European Space Operation Centres flight dynamics software. The Challenge We are looking for a Flight Dynamics Consultant Software Engineer to be located at the customer site, ESOC. The current Flight Dynamics applications are written in FORTRAN and run on a SolarisSPARC platform. The development of facilities for different mission families was essentially done in isolation. Hence, there is redundancy across mission families. In the course of reusing the facilities for new missions the software was adapted continuously to new and changing requirements. As a result the initial software design and architecture falls short of todays multimission requirements, making maintenance of the current Flight Dynamics systems difficult. The selected consultant will support and facilitate the preparation and definition of the implementation of ORATOS NG. A number of requirements, design decisions, objectives and guidelines need to be gathered, recorded, maintained and promulgated. These positions are planned with a starting date of August 2013. Interviews are planned in Darmstadt for the second half of June, with the selection decisions tentatively to be announced on 5 July.

Note that English is the working language Applicants should hold appropriate documentation and permits for working and living in Germany. Desirable Specific experience with the ORATOS software, especially in its design, development and maintenance Familiarity with the specific flight dynamics software packages currently running under ORATOS Some experience in flight dynamics Experience with the early phases of software project requirement definition, design tradeoffs of a similar scope Experience with software migration readaptation of existing software Experience with software documentation and related standards Some exposure to project management Experience in a similar consultancy role, as onsite resident at a scientific operational organization Some background with international organisations. The position requires a great deal of independence and selfmotivation. The candidate should be able to work with little supervision, but also be able to contribute to the team effort.
