LSE Space is looking for experienced Engineers (m/f/d) in order to fulfill the duty of:                                            

                             Navigation Operations Engineer

to be part of our Service Team to support our customer ESA/ESOC in Darmstadt/Germany.

For our activities at ESA/ESOC, we are currently seeking to employ highly motivated and enthusiastic Navigation Operations Engineers to support the area of Precise Orbit Determination (POD).

Typical activities shall cover the following tasks:

The main activities of the Navigation Operations Services we are currently providing to ESOC consist on processing data from a combination of a number of GNSS receiver networks, including the ESA network plus optionally sub-networks providing data by contractual agreement and publicly available data (CDDIS). The data are processed in batch mode or in real-time, in the ESOC’s Navigation Facility. Service products typically include orbit products (restitution and prediction) and high-rate clock solutions both for the ground and satellite clocks. Beside (near-) real time products enhanced-accuracy off-line or final products may be delivered, as well as additional or auxiliary products (station coordinates, geophysical data –e.g. Earth Rotation Parameters - ERPs, satellite properties, etc.).

For the POD engineering support and consultancy, our Service Team members shall have:

•   Fluency in English, both in speech and writing

•  A very good knowledge in GNSS, SLR and DORIS tracking systems and data processing.

•  A very good knowledge in POD algorithms and software development.
