Role Responsibility
A diverse range of support tasks is required to be carried out within encompassing hardware, software and system aspects. These can be grouped within the following main headings:
- Design, development and performance evaluation and characterisation of control, data and signal processing units for Radio Frequency payloads and instruments;
- Validation of signal and image processing algorithms via simulation techniques (e.g. Matlab, Python, prototyping SW);
- Definition, design and validation of payload data acquisition, processing and storage chains;
- Implementation of payload data processing functions on processors (e.g. Digital Signal Processors) and FPGAs based platforms;
- Specific engineering support in the above domains to mainstream ESA space projects, mainly for (but not restricted to) the development and testing phases.
Successful Candidate
- Master degree in a relevant discipline;
- Extensive knowledge in on-board data and signal processing techniques;
- Extensive knowledge in signal quality and on-board payload data processing functions for RF remote sensing and Telecom payloads;
- Extensive knowledge in simulation of signal processing functions (Matlab, Python, C, etc);
- Knowledge in the design, training and validation of machine learning techniques (not limited to deep learning) for tasks such as prediction, classification, semantic segmentation, object detection, etc;
- Familiarity with telecom payload processors, synthetic aperture radar, radar altimetry and radio frequency interference mitigation (coverage of more than one of the topics will be a strong asset);
- Familiarity with payload data and signal processing on-board systems architectures;
- Familiarity with processing devices and on-board electronics design related to data acquisition and processing functions;
- Familiarity with procurement of units, sub-systems integration and testing;
- Ability to work in an autonomous manner, in particular when providing support to projects with high time allocations and this in coordination with the line manager;
- Fluency in English is mandatory; knowledge of another European language is an advantage.
