We are recruiting a Schedule Engineer for Sapienza to work on our Customers Site ESA-ESTEC (The Netherlands) supporting the Lunar Gateway and Orion-ESM projects on the Directorate of Human Spaceflight and Robotic Exploration (HRE).
ESA missions are at the forefront of human exploration. Building on a strong heritage in human spaceflight and the successful ISS and ATV programmes, ESA in collaboration with its International partners have turned their gaze to deep space and have laid the foundations for the journey to Mars. The first exciting step on this journey is returning humans to the Moon and establishing a sustainable human presence in deep space, which will be achieved through the Artemis Programme.
The European Service Module (ESM) is ESA’s contribution to the Orion vehicle, which will shuttle humans to and from the Moon. It will dock with a new space station known as the Gateway, the portal through which humans can access different landing sites on the Moon. It is also a safe haven, a facility for science and robotic surface operations as well as a refuelling depot for lunar landers. ESA is providing the I-HAB module, which is the habitat housing four crew for up to six months, and the ESPRIT module, which provides vital communications and refuelling capabilities.
The destination is no longer Low Earth Orbit, but deep space. First stop is the Moon driven by the Artemis programme, with vehicles like the Orion crewed spacecraft and large, space station-like facilities like the lunar Gateway, for which ESA will provide the IHAB and ESPRIT modules. Overall, this infrastructure will provide repeated access to the surface of the moon, both for astronauts and rovers. The initial goal is to re-take lunar scientific exploration with much newer means and instrumentation, but the final goal is to build the experience and confidence to eventually send humans to the surface of Mars.
Reporting directly to the HRE Head of Project Control and working on a daily basis with the project controllers and project teams of the Orion-ESM, IHAB and ESPRIT projects, the new team member will perform a range of tasks, as described in the description below:
Scheduler tasks will bring the incumbent in contact with our project’s Industrial consortia and with the international partner organisations (NASA, JAXA, and CSA)
Because of the pro-active nature of the work on schedule controlling that will be required, the post holder will also need to show:
