Position Reference 758 The Mars Sample Return Sample Fetch Rover SFR is one of three European Space Agency ESA contributions to the NASAJet Propulsion Laboratory JPL led Mars Sample Return Campaign, which aims to return soil and atmospheric samples from the Mars surface to Earth by 2031. SFR is foreseen for launch on board Sample Return Lander SRL in 2026. On behalf of ESA, we are currently looking for a Functional System Engineer for Sample Fetch Rover to work in its Site ESTEC in the city of Noordwijk, The Netherlands. The Functional System Engineer for Sample Fetch Rover referred to as FSE hereafter will work as part of the SFR Fetching System Team, within the wider SFR Project Team. The FSE will work in close cooperation with the Fetching System Robotics Engineer, and will report to the Fetching System Team Leader. Within the team, the FSE will be responsible of the development, qualification and delivery of the Returnable Sample Tube Assembly RSTA Detection System hereafter referred to as RSTA Detection System or RDS the overview of the Software Development Qualification activities related to the Fetching System, in close coordination with the SFR SW system engineer the definition of the Fetching System operational aspects Concept Operations, feasibility, implementation, etc. in coordination with the SFR surface operations system engineer, to ensure they are properly reflected in the RDS and Arm and Gripper Subsystem AGS designs the Functional Verification of the endtoend Fetching System Systems Engineering support tasks as needed. Tasks and Activities The scope of work will include RDS development The RDS comprises the Visual Based Detection System VBDS, a software responsible for the autonomous detection of the RSTAs on the surface of Mars, as well as the Cameras involved in the task i.e. NavCams shared between Navigation and RSTA Detection, and the Arm wrist camera. The FSE will be responsible for the development, qualification and timely delivery of all the RDS elements. The development and validation of algorithms within the VBDS will be supported by the Fetching System Robotics Engineer and additional specialists as needed. Software development within the Fetching System The Fetching System encompasses the following software elements 1 The VBDS software 2 Motion planning and control software of the AGS 3 The Acquisition Management System AMS, a software element at FSlevel which links together the SFR central SW to the VBDS and motion control software. The FSE will support the software development lifecycle within the Fetching System team, and will support, together with a software specialist, the follow up of related industrial activities The FSE will work in close cooperation with the ESA SFR software System Engineer, who is the overall responsible for the SFR software.
