TRUTHS Satellite and Engineering Manager

**Job Requisition ID**:18897**Date Posted**:18 September 2024**Closing Date**:9 October 2024 23:59 CET/CEST**Publication**:Internal & External**Type of Contract**:Permanent**Directorate**:Earth Observation Programmes**Workplace**:Noordwijk, NL**Grade Band**:A2 - A4

**Location**
ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands**Description**
TRUTHS Satellite and Engineering Manager
TRUTHS, a new Earth Watch element of the ESA Earth Observation Programme, is an operational climate mission aimed at enhancing, by an order of magnitude, our ability to estimate the Earth radiation budget through direct measurements and establishing a metrology laboratory in space to create a fiducial SI -traceable (International System of units) reference data set and to cross-calibrate other sensors, improving the quality of their data. The payload complement of TRUTHS is composed of a hyperspectral imaging spectrometer (HIS) and a cryogenic solar absolute radiometer (CSAR) and the associated on-board calibration system (OBCS). The platform is baselined as a recurrent of a HPCM satellite (CRISTAL). The Ground Segment will be located in the UK, with complementary PDGS services at ESRIN, Frascati, Italy for implementation of ESA’s data access policy.
The TRUTHS project is currently in Phase B2/Advance C, aimed at de-risking the payload and its innovative technologies, consolidating the satellite design at system level, including the interface towards the Ground and Launch Segments, and verifying the challenging performance requirements for achievement of the mission objectives. Upon successful PDR Part I, excluding platform units, which are considered recurrent and will be procured starting from Phase C, the Advance Phase C will be launched to continue the activities on the critical path and to secure the schedule of Phase C/D/E1. Subject to a positive outcome at CM25, the procurement of Phase C/D/E1 will begin, aiming for a launch at the end of 2030. In the scope of Phase C, PDR Part II, including all platform units, will be conducted about three months after kick-off.
The TRUTHS Satellite and Engineering Manager will report to the TRUTHS Project Manager. You will be in charge of functionally leading and coordinating support from other engineers working on the project and specialised technical support from the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality (D/TEC).

**Duties**
The TRUTHS Satellite and Engineering Manager is in charge of the TRUTHS platform procurement and the design, development and verification of the satellite, including the coordination of all engineering disciplines within the TRUTHS project. Your principal tasks and responsibilities will include:

- responsibility for the entire B2/Advance C and CDE1 phases (design, development, launch campaign and commissioning) of the platform and satellite, ensuring the timely availability of validated flight hardware for launch;
- leading the evaluation of the TRUTHS satellite design to assess the level of recurrence from the CRISTAL platform;
- preparing, evaluating and negotiating Phase CDE1 of the end-to-end TRUTHS satellite procurement for platform aspects and all engineering disciplines;
- responsibility for the design and timely procurement of the spacecraft subsystems, including structure, thermal, propulsion, mechanisms, power generation and storage and avionics (AOCS, data handling and communications);
- ensuring coordination and consistency of approach across major engineering disciplines in respect of the TRUTHS satellite platform and payload, including:

- structural and mechanical engineering;
- thermal engineering;
- mechanisms;
- the propulsion subsystem;
- power and harness engineering;
- electrical design engineering;
- the data handling subsystem;
- telecommunications engineering;
- electromagnetic compatibility and RF compatibility engineering;
- coordinating closely with other sections to ensure consistency of platform, payload, subsystem and equipment requirements and interfaces; in particular, cooperating with the System team to implement all satellite elements in the MBSE (model-based system engineering) model of TRUTHS;
- coordinating closely with other sections to ensure consistency of the AOCS hardware development at satellite level with the mission needs;
- supervising all aspects of on-board software definition, development and verification, ensuring provision for the required observability, operability and maintainability features for the System and Ops team;
- assessing and reviewing the satellite architecture, design and verification, including identification and analysis of design drivers and options for cost/schedule optimisation, and taking account of sustainability aspects, for example by supporting life cycle analysis in coordination with the System team, the end-of-life and disposal phase and, more generally, implementation of ESA’s Clean Space policy;
- ensuring early definition and specification of GS
