Young Graduate Trainee in the Mars Orbiting Missions Operations Unit

**Job Requisition ID**:18369**Closing Date**:7 March 2024 23:59 CET/CEST**Publication**:External Only**Vacancy Type**:Young Graduate Trainee**Date Posted**:8 February 2024- Young Graduate Opportunity in the Directorate of Operations-
- This post is classified F1 on the Coordinated Organisations’ salary scale.**Location**
- ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany**Our team and mission**
The Mars Orbiting Mission Operations Unit (OPS-OPM) is responsible for the operations of the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and the Mars Express spacecraft in-orbit around Mars. This includes monitoring, control and mission planning of the spacecraft and related ground systems (e.g. data systems, ground stations).


**Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship**
You will report to the Head of Mars Orbiting Missions Operations Unit. Your primary tasks will be related to the quantitative monitoring of spacecraft sub-systems behaviour and the analysis of ground station booking results with respect to mission requirements.

You will learn about ground segment spacecraft operations planning processes as well as spacecraft sub-systems, their load profile during operations and their interaction for execution of the mission. The hardware elements with sensitive aging profiles concern most units: solar array and antenna mechanisms, batteries for energy management, gyroscopes and reaction wheels for attitude control, fuel for orbit control, amplifiers for radio-communications etc. The monitoring and characterisation of this aging represents a major part of the work.

To support the various sub-system engineers within the Flight Control Teams, you will be assigned a number of tasks and studies for monitoring and predicting the behaviour of such on-board equipment.
It is expected that you specify and develop software tools that support data analysis and where relevant simulate future usage and aging trade-offs. You may take advantage of existing tools already developed ad-hoc within the flight control teams, or similar tools and approaches on other planetary missions.
Finally, while integrated in the TGO and Mars Express Flight Control Team, you may also participate in tests and simulations related to the upload of a new Spacecraft Central Software and support Mars relay planning activities.
This position will grant you a wide insight into the different aspects of interplanetary spacecraft operations, including spacecraft platform, space communications and ground segment for complex Mars missions.

**Technical competencies**
Knowledge of relevant technical domains
Relevant experience gained during internships/project work
Breadth of exposure coming from past and/or current research/activities
Knowledge of ESA and its programmes/projects

**Behavioural competencies**
Result Orientation
Operational Efficiency
Fostering Cooperation
Relationship Management
Continuous Improvement
Forward Thinking

**Education**
You should have just completed, or be in the final year of your Master’ s degree in a technical or scientific discipline, preferably Aerospace, electronics, computer science or physics.

**Additional requirements**
You should have good interpersonal and communication skills and should be able to work in a multicultural environment, both independently and as part of a team.
Familiarity with spacecraft design and related sub-systems would be an asset. A basic knowledge of orbital dynamics would also be beneficial. Familiarity with office suite and programming skills is required.
The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge in English is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.
During the interview motivation and overall professional perspective/career goals will also be explored.
