Ajilon Technology Aerospace is looking for a Telecommunications Satellite Platform Engineer E3 for an opportunity at the European Space Agency in Harwell, United Kingdom Ajilon Technology Aerospace is a specialized Engineering consultancy with more than 30 years experience providing aerospace Engineers to our key partners in The Netherlands. Ajilon is a longstanding business partner of the European Space Agency ESA, with more than 100 employees recruited from across Europe currently supporting ESAs activities. General tasks to be performed Supporting the Project preparation and implementation and managing industrial activities Prepare system models and perform system analyses in parallel or in support of industrial activities, especially provide engineering support to the System Engineer and the Space Segment manager in the appropriate areas of competence Provide support to the System Engineer in coordinating ESA internal studies and preparing the associated documentation. Support the ESA System Engineer in monitoring activities related to the industrial activities , especially monitoring the coherent and costeffective implementation of requirements from system level down to the lower subsystem level. Participation in Agency Reviews, notably supporting the System Engineer in organizing the Phase B System Requirements Review and Preliminary Design Review as well as lower level technical reviews in the relevant field of interest. Supporting the definition of technology activities or additional technical studies in preparation of the next Phase of the Programme in the appropriate areas of competence. Regular reporting of progress to the ESA System Engineer and the Head of the Programme Office. In the execution of the tasks, the Telecommunication Systems Engineer will liaise closely and proactively with the rest of the Programme team as well as with other colleagues within the Telecommunications Technologies, Products and Services Department. Specific tasks to be performed The Platform Engineer reports primarily to the Quantum Platform Manager in the Telecommunications and Integrated Applications Directorate, Telecommunication Satellite Programme Department and will be responsible for monitoring performance and engineering aspects of satellite platform, with a focus on mechanicalstructuralthermal aspects. The Platform Engineers tasks will include Monitoring platform units development, integration and testing Monitoring the coherent and costeffective implementation of platform requirements from system level down to the lower application level Working in Partnership with the Satellite Operators to ensure that the platform equipment development proceeds in a timely and pragmatic manner whilst maintaining the original innovative nature of the platform and the supplier working methods. Working with the industrial team to ensure that the design and performance of platform meets its specified requirements, including software, subsystem and unit performances Monitoring and ensuring that the platform interfaces are consistent with the Payload and system and quality aspects. Ensuring the adequacy of relevant operational requirements to control and operate the platform Analysing predicted performance parameters of platform and monitoring these throughout the project phases Supporting platform and lowerlevel reviews, as well as supporting spacecraft level reviews and any nonconformance reviews. Regular reporting to his Platform Manager In the execution of the tasks, the Platform Engineer will liaise closely and proactively with the rest of the Quantum Project team as well as with other Project Teams within the Telecommunications Satellite Programmes Department. To successfully perform the above mentioned tasks, the following background experience is required Applicants for this post should have a Master degree or equivalent qualification in engineering or physics, together with extensive experience in The development of satellite platform equipment in the sphere of telecommunications.
