In the frame of support provided by the TSS Department to the development of new programmes, the duties of the key person will then gradually evolve to provide also support to the future programmes, in the area of ground segment system engineering and, in particular, interfaces definition. Tasks As a member of the Infrastructure Engineering Maintenance team, the Key person shall contribute to maintain the overall system design documentation of the operational systems. The Key person shall ensure, in particular, the maintenance of the uptodate set of Interface Control Documents for all the operational systems. This does not imply that the Key person will be the book captain for all the ICDs, but heshe will have the responsibility to ensure that the ICDs are kept uptodate, in coordination with and with support of the other TSS teams. When evolutions of the systems are proposed and implemented, the Key person shall analyse them and verify the system and interfaces coherence. In the role of support to the maintenance activities of the operational programmes, Coordinate the maintenance, for all the operational ground systems, of a complete and consistent set of Interface Control Documents Perform technical analysis of system architecture and specification evolutions or major upgrades of the operational ground systems, for interfaces coherence and compatibility check with other ongoing developments Define the interface testing approach for major evolutions of the operational ground systems and contribute to the coordination of the installation, integration and verification of new systems into the Operational infrastructure Contribute to the various OPS TSS Projects and associated reviews, as required, providing Interfaces Engineering support during the design phase and contribute actively to the definition of the IVV activities Perform analysis, investigations and resolution of system level anomalies.
