Job description For our customer, the European Space Agency ESA, we are seeking an experienced Space System Engineer to work at ESAs ESTEC site in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. Responsibilities You will be assigned to ESAESTECs Sample Fetch Rover project team within the Directorate of Human Spaceflight Robotic Exploration as Fetching System Functional System Engineer. The Sample Fetch Rover SFR is one element of ESAs contribution to the joint NASAESA Mars Sample Return mission. The SFRs role is to collect samples from the surface of Mars, left by NASAs 2020 Mars rover mission Perseverance in small metal tubes. Landing in 2028, the SFR will then travel an average of 200 metres a day, over a period of six months to find and pick up the samples. It will collect up to 36 tubes, carry them back to the lander and place them in a Mars Ascent Vehicle which will launch them into orbit around Mars. Another spacecraft developed by ESA, the Earth Return Orbiter ERO, will collect the samples from Martian orbit and return them to Earth. The Fetching System Functional System Engineer FSE will work in 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 for the development, qualification and delivery of the Returnable Sample Tube Assembly RSTA Detection System RDS the overview of the Software Development Qualification activities related to the Fetching System FS, in close coordination with the SFR SW system engineer the definition of the FS operational aspects ConOps, feasibility, implementation, etc. in coordination with the SFR surface operations system engineer, to ensure they are properly reflected in the RDS and AGS designs the Functional Verification of the endtoend FS Systems Engineering support tasks as needed. Specific Tasks The FSE will offer technical expertise in support of the SFR Fetching System Developments, covering the following areas 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.
