We are looking for a number of Spacecraft Controllers to be part of the flight control teams supporting spacecraft operations. The tasks to be performed are those typical for spacecraft operations controllers, with the following specific responsibilities Operate all or part of the mission operations system, which may incorporate parts of the ground segment as well as the space segment, as specified for each mission. In preparatory phases or special operations LEOP, deorbiting the Spacecraft controller will be required to assist in configuring and testing the operational system to support the operations. The Spacecraft controller may be required to develop methods or tools to assist in the execution of the operations, for which heshe is required to become familiar with the mission and the control facilities at his disposal. The Spacecraft controller will take part in simulations and prelaunch test campaigns, and in postlaunch refresher training and simulation. During the operational phase, the Spacecraft controller will Monitor and control all operational progress, in accordance with the scheduled operations plan, ensuring that safety criteria are respected and that all operations are conducted in accordance with the established procedures. Perform specific operations relating to individual missions, as defined in the operations plans, or as instructed by the responsible SOM, SOE or Analyst. Immediately inform the responsible personnel when an anomaly is detected, in accordance with the established procedures. Take corrective action as necessary, applying the contingency emergency procedures approved for the mission. Coordinate with the responsible personnel for any scheduling required. Prepare operations reports as requested. Assist in the production of printouts, graphs and plots for offline evaluation and analysis. Prepare and complete all necessary forms for the daily operations routine. During the operational phase of a mission, the engineer will be expected to follow regular training and simulations for the inorbit spacecraft. This covers training to keep staff proficient, and training on new operational procedures. Training will be given by a Spacecraft Analyst and Operations Engineer. Regular use of a spacecraft simulator expected. These are full time positions in Germany. For prelaunch activities, the work is during normal office hours. For inorbit missions the requirements depend upon the type of mission and the ground station passes to be supported, so will in general involve shift work. Qualifications This position requires a good background in a technical or scientific discipline, to the level equivalent to Senior Technician. Experience with using computer systems is required, and experience in data communication andor ground station systems is an advantage. Experience operating spacecraft or related ground systems is highly desirable. You shall be able to demonstrate an orderly, reliable and disciplined approach to the execution of operations and be capable of working calmly and correctly under stress. Essential skills are Familiarity with current satellite control systems, based on SCOS2000. Ability to work as part of small team, and be able to maintain composure and work with the team in pressured situations. Fluent written and spoken English. Desirable skills are Experience of launch preparation simulations campaigns. Experience of spacecraft LEOP activities
