This vacancy note concerns an onsite consulting position at ESTEC in Noordwijk in The Netherlands. Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems GNC Engineer 1411052 Job Description The holder of this post reports functionally to the System Engineering Manager SREPNS of the Lisa Pathfinder mission and will work closely with the Software systems engineer, MechanicalThermal systems engineer and Electrical systems engineer. The AOCS is currently supported by existing TECECC expert. Within the project guidelines and constraints the duties will include the following The post holder is responsible for all control engineering activities relating to the Lisa Pathfinder Project up to the inorbit commissioning review. The expected launch date is mid 2015 and inorbit commissioning review nominally takes place 90 days after launch. The control systems engineering discipline relating to the Lisa Pathfinder Project mainly comprise of the Dragfree attitude control system DFACS, 15 coupled control loops as well as AOCS. The DFACS control systems is the main component for achieving inorbit demonstration of the unprecedented low differential acceleration noise for the two free floating Test Masses in the Inertial Sensor subsystem. In particular, correct tuning and robustness of the DFACS will likely define the ultimate performance of the Lisa Pathfinder mission objectives. Hence, the post holder will also have a major responsibility for verifying the science performance budget of the mission. Specifically, the main tasks of the post include Supervising the design and implementation of the DFACS and AOCS subsystems effectively finished. Supervising the verification of DFACS in particular performed by Industry AOCS verification is to a large extent finished. This includes the test planning, test procedure development, test execution and analysis of test results as well as taking part in nonconformance review boards. Monitoring the schedule of DFACS verification onground and inorbit commissioning. Supervising the DFACS user manual prepared by Industry for correctness. Supervising the inorbit commissioning of DFACS that will be performed by Industry. Liaison with STOC and MOC for the preparations of handover of the SC after inorbit commissioning for the DFACS. This involves following science operations simulations before launch and assessing nonconformant observations raised during such simulations for impact on DFACS. Verification of the DFACS and science performance achieved in his specific field of competence, supporting System Engineering manager on the definition of the flight operations constraints and procedures, and the mission operations the preparation and implementation of the launch and commissioning phase. Required Skills and Experience University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline. Fluency in English. An extensive insight and good experience in control engineering and verification of complex control systems is required. Strong interpersonal and good communication skills are required for efficient interaction with highly skilled industrial and scientific expertise as well as capability to work effectively with the ESA project team.
