Summary Brand new opportunity for an experienced EO engineer to join the Telespazio UK team, working onsite at ESTEC, to support future missions planning. Objective The post will provide support within the Future Missions and Instruments Division EOP8M, and more specifically the Technology Coordination and Frequency Management Section EOP8MT. The contractor will be responsible for two main tasks First, the identification of technology requirements for future Earth Observation EO missions. A solid collaboration with the other sections of the division and with other divisions in the EOP directorate and ESAs technical directorate is essential for this work. The nature of the work requires a wide knowledge in engineering disciplines with a natural inclination for learning and understanding new technologies in connection to EO space systems. Second, the analysis and monitoring of the evolution of frequency needs for EO missions, including early concepts and potential interference conflicts with other communication services sharing the spectrum. Responsibilities Duties The successful individual will be expected to Support the identification of the technology requirements for future Earth Observation EO missions, covering the whole spectrum mainly platform and ground stations network, but also support to optical and RF instruments Provide support to technology developments for future EO missions, in particular for the standardisation of platforms, and communications with the ground segment Initiate, conduct internal studies and support the review of the results of industrial activities and in the area of technology development and modelling of endtoend system e.g. data flow, technical budgets or onboard subsystem aspects. Support the definition and monitoring of missions under preparation through, e.g. participation to reviews, assessment of industrial results, evaluation of proposals in reply to calls, including subsystem performance analyses or technology maturity aspects. Support the EO technology observatory function outside the EOP Directorate e.g. ESA Technology Harmonisation, ARTES, and also outside ESA e.g. other space agencies, Horizon Europe in the EC, commercial initiatives under NewSpace, and the potential spinin from nonspace sectors Support the interaction within ESA and also with ESAs Member States on EO future technologies e.g. through dedicated information days Building up relevant IT repositories with information about technology developments or new mission concepts of relevance to Earth Observation Qualifications Experience University Masters degree, or equivalent, in Engineering, or related discipline. Experience within space projects, and associated technology developments. Essential Skills Development of advanced onboard system and subtechnologies for space applications, ideally in the EO domain Experience working in Space Projects for Earth Observation. Experience with System Performance Simulation and EndtoEnd Satellite Data Flow, including data processing Good knowledge of remote sensing techniques used in Earth Observation missions Experience in Matlab, STK or similar tools Proactive in organising and building up electronic means to share the technology knowledge with larger groups. Qualities Teamwork orientation Methodical, and proactive, attitude to solving problems Good English language skills, both written and spoken Good organisational, and communication skills.
