Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for a number of Data Systems Engineers to join our team and support the Copernicus missions run by ESA at ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany.

The majority of the Data Systems engineering support is related to mission preparation and operation. In addition, the support covers application, system support and infrastructure.

Responsibilities

As a Data Systems Engineer, your tasks will typically include:

• Specification of the software requirements of these systems in collaboration with the operational users;
• Appropriate coordination and collaboration with any external community involved in the data system operations;
• Define and oversee the evolution of the mission control systems in response to flight control team needs, software infrastructure and hardware evolution,
• Lead the investigation and resolution of problems identified in the operational systems,
• Tests and simulation campaign, and in the role of the software coordinator being part of the Flight Control Team during critical operational phases such as launches;
• Proactively supporting the continual service delivery,
• Support day-to-day incident management and response via an On-Call Service during normal working hours
• Maintenance of software such as SCOS-2000 based Mission Control Systems and/or related systems such as EDDS, EGOS-MPS, DARC or similar support.

Ideally you will have the following skills and experience:

• Experience in Software engineering methods and tools used in development of data processing systems
• Definition, implementation, validation, and operation of software which applies the above solutions (using e.g., Unix/Linux scripting languages, C++, Java, Python).
• Ability to understand user needs in complex software systems
• Knowledge of Earth Observation Mission Control Systems
• Knowledge of SCOS-2000 and/or related systems such as EDDS, EGOS-MPS, DARC or similar
