Spaceopal Early Services System Engineer Spaceopal is the operations prime contractor for the European Galileo Satellite Navigation System and manages all Galileo Operations. The awarded European Commission EC contract to Spaceopal is more than just its satellites in space. Galileo Operations will provide highquality positioning, navigation and timing services to users across the whole world as a civilcontrolled service with guaranteed continuity of coverage. For our office in Fucino, Italy, we are looking for a System Engineer mf to assist a preliminary Setup Phase and a subsequent Validation Phase for the Galileo Early Services ES. Whilst waiting for the Galileo Full Operational Capability FOC to be deployed, EC and ESA have defined Early Services to include the following main lines development of initial services for Open Service OS and Search and Rescue SAR, after that stable RF signals for their exploitation are available on air testing of Pilot Projects for Public Regulated Services PRS, followed by associated initial service experiments exercise of demonstrator for Commercial Services CS, followed by associated initial services. The ideal candidate is a System Engineer with Operations Ops experience and capability of understanding Satellite Navigation Services and related Ops products, supporting all Systems aspects related to ES preparation and validation. Heshe will understand Galileo Mission Segment GMS and Galileo Control Segment GCS elements functions with their interfaces and associated inputoutput information exchange, manage GMSGCS interface issues and needs, focus the problem of measuring and reporting Operational Key Performance Indexes OKPIs, understand Navigation Services Status and related reporting needs, identify requisites to hold up CS, SARGalileo service, PRS, including info to be exchanged with the remote Galileo Service Centre GSC and SARGalileo Data Service Provider SGDSP. We expect the candidate to be passionate about the topic of Satellite Radioassisted Navigation to be characterized by strong working knowledge of English, both written and spoken, with ability to interface expert Operators at Galileo Control Centres as well as personnel from external entities like EC, ESA, Service Providers, Pilot Projects to hold a Personal Security Clearance PSC to have organizational skills and leadership to hold a degree in TelecommunicationsElectronicsInformatics Engineering, with at least 3 years of work experience in Satellite Navigation to have knowledge of Satellite RadioAssisted Navigation Mission concepts, Galileo specific Services and Ground Segment functional elements comprehension of related requirements, architecture, design, validation, operation to be sensitive on understanding Navigation Service Status and Operational KPIs to be available to frequent travel in Europe to have, as desirable skill, knowledge of Computer Programming.
