Job Description Support to Solar Orbiter Science Operations Software Test Engineering This work package is intended to provide a number of specialised services to support ESA in developing science operations systems and tools, including System engineering and architectural design activities, including operating plans and procedures, Designing, developing, implementing, testing, deploying, operating and maintaining software tools and systems, e.g. o Observation proposal handling, mission planning and quicklook systems, parts of which may be distributed to the community o User support tools o Interactive analysis and calibration systems, to be distributed as needed to the community for data reduction and analysis o Data processing pipelines o Scientific data archives and interfacing these to the virtual observatory. o Scientific and technical WWW systems to support Science Operations Centre, Science Ground Segment and the scientific community Contribute to the definition of Interface Control Documents ICDs and file interchange formats with external coordination units Organise and perform end to end system testing with the scientific communities Contribute to the maintenance of the overall system, including configuration control and versioning The Solar Orbiter Science Ground Segment This work package is intended to provide a number of specialised services to support ESA in developing the Solar Orbiter missions Science Operations Centre at ESAC. Solar Orbiter is the first of the medium size missions in the ESAs Cosmic Vision Science Programme, developed in collaboration with NASA. It is a solar observatory carrying ten instruments provided by Principal Investigators six remote sensing instruments an EUV telescope, a polarimetric telescope, an Xray telescope, a coronagraph, an heliospheric imager, and a spectrometer and four insitu instruments magnetometer, radio and plasma waves, energetic particle detector and a solar wind analyser. The primary goal of the mission is to operate the whole payload in a coordinated way to address some of the outstanding scientific questions on the relationship between the Sun and the heliosphere. The spacecraft is expected to be launched in July 2017, and after a three month commissioning phase it will cruise for three and a half years until the proper orbital geometry is achieved. The nominal mission is expected to last three and half years more with a post operations phase of two additional years. The Solar Orbiter Science Operations Centre at ESAC is responsible for the development of the Science Ground Segment SGS following the Science Implementation Requirements provided by the Project Scientist which covers all the operational activities originating from the mission science objectives defined by the Science Working Team SWT, including interactions with the Instrument Teams and the Mission Operations Centre at ESOC. Operational activities for Solar Orbiter cover coordination of science operations for the cruise and nominal phases of the mission, generation of specific quick turnaround low latency data products, production of auxiliary data to support operations, as well as the archiving of PI provided science data products. This work package covers software design, definition, implementation and maintenance service support to Solar Orbiter Science Ground Segment development, operations and maintenance at ESAC, including the science operations planning system, the lowlatency data generation and visualization system, the auxiliary data products generation system and also supports the archiving of science data products. Specific Service tasks Contribute to procedure writing and the implementation of those procedures. Follow procedures and operate Solar Orbiter SOC systems. Test SOC systems for the daily processing of Solar Orbiter data. Test SOC systems for the generation of Solar Orbiter payload operations requests. Further test and scale SOC products such as MDB. Participate in the optimisation of software processing. Gather operational constraints for software running at SOC. Interact appropriately with and support the providers of all software SOC systems. Interact appropriately with the users of Solar Orbiter data products. Assist in automation of SOC procedures. Contribute to the maintenance of the overall system, including configuration control and versioning. Provide support for testing, particularly for EndtoEnd E2E and operational rehearsal campaigns. Report on operational activities including the gathering and presentation of processing summary statistics. Output and Service Performance Monitoring ESA will formally define the service delivery in terms of delivery times, performance targets and similar measurable parameters Key Performance Indicators. This shall be agreed with the applicant and shall be assessed, and modified as needed, during regular progress meetings typically monthly. The applicant shall manage the service provision and provide ESA with the necessary data and corresponding evidence. The applicant shall be measured and assessed on the basis of Documents generated in the period at the dates required by the project milestones and internal plans. The assessed completeness of the documents and any analysis contained within. Reporting in linein time with the approved schedule. Presentations made in the reporting period e.g. to astronomers at workshops. Helpdesk tickets handled number and work effort associated with resulting investigations. Bug reports raised and analysed. Working group attendance and presentations. Interactions Free interaction is expected with the members of the Solar Orbiter Science Operations Working Group SOWG and with software engineers in the Principal Investigator teams. Frequent interactions are expected to take place with the SOC manager, the SOC team members and within the team of other service providers working on Solar Orbiter. Also, frequent interactions are expected to take place with the Computers Support Group and the Science Archives Team at ESAC. Interactions with the general international community of astronomersusers are also expected via workshops and the helpdesk. Specific Qualification Requirements Preferred experience Past scientific solar or heliospheric instrumentation or spacecraft support with a major internations space or groundbased observatory. Support to the professional solar and heliospheric scientific community for a spacebased mission. Use of spacebased scientific data in support of science research. ECSS standards for software development. Interfacing with RDBMS. Testing environments and tools. Configuration management tools. Service positions covered by this package will require at least a graduate degree Masters or Ph.D. in a relevant subject area Other Requirements for applicants University degree or equivalent in computer science or related fields.
