Vacancy in the Directorate of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications. 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 Avionics Engineer This post is classified A2A4 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands with an initial period of resident assignment in Luxembourg. Description Avionics Engineer in the AOCS and Pointing Systems Section, GNC, AOCS and Pointing Division, Systems Department, Directorate of Technology, Engineering Quality DTEC. The AOCS and Pointing Systems Section provides funtional support to ESA projects in the technical field of AOCS and carries out technological research in competitive, innovative and highaccuracy control systems, attitude sensors and magnetic actuators. Assigned as integrated support to ESAIL and TritonX project in the Telecommunication Satellite Programmes Department, Directorate of Telecommunications Integrated Applications DTIA, the postholder is responsible for coordinating and steering all avionicsrelated tasks under that project. Liaising closely with the projects internal engineering resources, especially the platform engineer and the quality engineer, DTEC engineering support services within ESA, and the ESAILTritonX prime and its subcontractors. Training and familiarisation with the parent Departments mandate, processes and procedures will be provided at the start of this assignment. The avionic system encompasses Attitude and orbit control subsystem AOCS Data handling subsystem DHS for the platform and for the payload command and control Onboard softWare OBSW Electrical ground support equipments EGSE, special checkout equipment SCOE and overall checkout equipment OCOE System reference database SRDB Verification activities, verification control documentation VCD, functional chain verification software and avionics test benches, flat sat. The Avionics Engineer will have in addition an active role in supporting the Flight dynamics FDS and mission analysis tasks in particular in the case of interface physical and functional with the space segment avionics subsystem Platform engineer for the platform and spacecraft MAIT. Duties Reporting hierarchically to the TritonX and functionally to the ESAIL Project Managers, the postholder will carry out main tasks and responsibilities which include Ensuring the spacecrafts electrical compatibility with the selected launchers Consolidating the platform avionics requirements derived from market product line requirements Coordinating the platform avionics level engineering activities, performing in conjunction with the project internal engineering team and the industrial prime and its partners Direct supervising the design, development, manufacturing and testing of the AOCS subsystem and its sensorsactuators, performed in conjunction with the industrial prime, Ensuring compliance and verification of the platform avionics with platformlevel technical and performance requirements Ensuring coherence of the platforms overall avionics design, development, procurement, and avionics AIVAIT activities Monitoring the design, development, procurement in these fields, including related scheduling and cost aspects Maintaining the relevant technical budgets at project level Monitoring the schedule and risks of the relevant procurements, providing early warning of potential problem areas, ensuring appropriate mitigation actions are identified and implemented Supporting definition and implementation of the overall operational concept at mission level operations constraints and procedures, and preparation and implementation of the launchcommissioning phase Supporting preparation and implementation of all major reviews at systemspace segmentpayload levels Internally coordinating at project level all avionics activities related to spacecraftlevel reviews Actively supporting the prime for all reviews according to the postholders assigned duties Coordinating the specialised engineering support from the Directorate of Technical, Engineering Quality as required Ensuring the liaison between the ESA and industry project teams Participating in periodic meetings with the parent section, contributing to the transfer of technical knowledge and lessons learned across the Agency. In performing these tasks, the postholder will liaise closely and proactively with the rest of the project team and with colleagues within the Telecommunications Satellite Programmes Department. The postholderr will regularly liaise with the parent section AOCS and Pointing Systems Section for general technical knowledge, sharing and lessonslearned matters of significance to DTEC. Technical competencies General background and specific experience in the technical domains covered by the position Breadth of exposure coming from past andor current researchactivities Experience in AOCS activities Experience in the management and monitoring of industrial activities, including participation in reviews Handson hardware experience Experience of managing technical interfaces between subsystems both within ESA project team environment and for the industrial consortium Behavioural competencies Teamwork Customer Focus Problem Solving Results Orientation Responsible DecisionMaking Innovation Creativity Education A Masters degree or equivalent qualification in control, electrical and aerospace engineering is required. Additional requirements Applicants should have at least ten years experience in development of satellite AOCS subsystems, with direct exposure to data handling, software, avionics verification and operations.
