One of our space clients in Germany is looking for a long term contractor position for a Flight Dynamics Engineer. Their tasks in the area of EPS Flight Dynamics routine operations will typically include Execution of the routine operations of the EPS Flight Dynamics Facility, including spacecraft orbit determination and propagation, events and ground station visibility predictions, Attitude and Orbit Control System AOCS telecommand generation and telemetry monitoring. Planning and execution of EPS spacecraft maneuvers, as well as of their evaluation, thruster calibration and maintenance of the fuel budgets estimates. Support to the contingency operation of EPS spacecraft, including preparation and execution of conjunction avoidance maneuvers, recovery of routine operations, safe mode support and operation transfer to the BackUp Control Centre these activities may require intervention during the night and the nonworking days. Operational quality control of maneuvers and AOCS telecommands before uplink and execution onboard of the EPS spacecraft. Preparation and maintenance of Flight Dynamics operational procedures for spacecraft routine, special and contingency operations, operational configuration maintenance and system management. Performance analysis of the EPS Flight Dynamics System, specially focusing on the monitoring of the input to the processing of meteorological products, and implementation of enhancements as required. Perform system level analyses needed for the refinement of the Flight Dynamics algorithms and optimisation of the operational configuration and implementation of enhancements as required for the EPS missions. Preparation and production of routine reports as necessary. Their tasks in the area of preparation and of Flight Dynamics operations for future Low Earth Orbiting satellites will typically include Support to the ground segment development and operational preparation activities in the area of Flight Dynamics prior to launch of a new LEO satellite EPS, Sentinel3, EPSSG and JasonCS FD database preparation, definition of operational procedures, generation of related operational configuration data and participation to operational validation of satellite and groundsegment operations. Support Flight Dynamics activities during launch and commissioning for the new LEO satellite EPS, Sentinel3, EPSSG and JasonCS startup of FD system and initialisation of FD operational data, assessment of handover conditions, inflight validation of FD performances and transition to routine operations.
