Randstad Italia spa is looking for a Space Environment Engineer for a leading client company in the aerospace sector based in Rome. Activity field The role provides analysis and assessment of impacts of Space environment, both external and selfgenerated, on Satellite design. Analysis and assessment of impacts due to satellite reentry on the Earth at the end of operational lifetime. Academic professional preparation Masters Degree in Pure and Applied Mathematics or Masters degree in Physics and II level Master in Space Science and Technology. Knowledge of software for numerical computation and dynamic simulation eg. Matlab, Simulink, etc.. Knowledge of programming languages eg. C, Python, Java, etc... Activity description Satellite system engineering activity aimed to evaluate the effects of space environment to specify the requirements for design of satellite, and to specify requirement for satellite appendages e.g. solar array, antennas, etc.. The considered space environment is both the natural environment radiation, micrometeorids, orbital debris and the environment selfgenerated by satellite itself as the plume impingement due to chemical and electrical propulsion. In this context is part of the activity the development and finalization of in house software tool for evaluation of plume impingement effects both for chemical and electrical propulsion, and their validation through comparison of results with benchmark. Additional system engineering activity is the evaluation of the impacts generated by uncontrolled reentry in the Earth atmosphere of satellite at the end of its operational lifetime, with implementation of best practices for use of available simulation tools. This activity is finalized to obtain a mitigation of debris in orbit, through the driving of satellite design tradeoff to a debris mitigation policy. It is requested the attitude to learn new tools for Reentry analyses through personal theoretical study and on the job training, in case of specific requirements from customers It is requested the attitude to follow the entire design chain, from acquisition and understanding of requirements, provided by customer, to accomplishment of the design and its final verification before launch.

You will have the opportunity to provide engineering support to the Space Environment and Effects Section. The position is based in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Tasks and Activities The scope of work will include Application of many different models and software packages to analyse the effects that space environments e.g. chargedparticle radiation, plasmas, micrometeoroids space debris, atomic oxygen, geomagnetism may have on ESA missions. Development, adaptation, use and interpretation of the various models and tools and software development of associated graphical and other utilities, including WWW applications. Inorbit measurements of environmental parameters energetic particles, microparticles, plasmas are used to investigate local spacecraft conditions and to develop models of these environments for use in future mission planning. Tasks will contribute to the analysis of some of these data, derive relevant parameters to compare with existing models for validation, and ultimately lead to improvement of the models. Tasks will also involve contributions to the design, development, testing and calibration of the equipment for inorbit measurements. Natural energetic particles in space interact with components, detectors, astronauts, etc. causing a variety of problems. The GEANT4 radiation transport toolkit is used for specific space problems, including dose, SEE, and interactions of solar and galactic particles with detectors, etc. Microparticle environments are analysed with ESABASE2Debris. Spacecraft plasma interactions are analysed with SPIS, as well as heritage tools. Atmospheric environments are studied with the Mars climate databases and circulation models GCM, including the European Martian Climate Database and GCM. Spenvis is used as a generalpurpose resource for space environments and effects analyses. Contribution to development of space weather systems, including system definition and reviews, model development, testing of developed methods and establishment services.
