The role also contributes to AI standards, technology development plans, knowledge sharing, and digital innovation initiatives.

Supports product assurance and safety activities for ESA spacecraft programs, including requirements baselines, contractor reviews, audits, inspections, testing, acceptance reviews, non-conformance and waiver tracking, safety reviews, dashboards, and launch campaigns. Coordinates multidisciplinary PA&S experts, supports manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing, prepares reports and meeting documentation, and contributes to technology assessments, training, and lessons learned. The role is based at ESTEC in the Netherlands with frequent international travel and possible prolonged missions.

Supports dependability and safety engineering for ESA space programs, including RAMS requirements, contractor evaluations, risk assessments, safety verification, hazard close-out, acceptance criteria, and project reviews. The role also contributes to in-orbit data analysis, R&D, RAMS method improvement, training, conferences, university and industry collaboration, and safety approval packages. The position is based at ESTEC in the Netherlands and requires relocation.

Supports ESA satellite telecommunication system analysis, simulation, R&D tender preparation, industrial activity management, technical studies, technology roadmaps, and telecommunications projects. The role focuses on future SATCOM systems, including maritime and aeronautical services, 5G protocols, network architectures, and related standards. Candidates need a relevant master’s degree or PhD, at least two years of SATCOM experience, simulation expertise, programming skills, and eligibility for an EU national security clearance. The position is hybrid but requires relocation to the Netherlands.

Supports ESA software product assurance activities by defining requirements, reviewing contractor plans and compliance, monitoring software processes and documentation, participating in technical and review boards, conducting assessments and analyses, and maintaining databases for nonconformances, requests for waiver, and action items. The role requires software engineering expertise, space engineering knowledge, ECSS experience, and familiarity with software quality, security, safety, configuration management, and assurance practices.

Provides technical coordination and engineering support for ESA portal platform activities. Responsibilities include project planning, requirements analysis, stakeholder management, Agile delivery, and hands-on Liferay portal development using Java and modern web technologies. The role also covers solution design, testing, troubleshooting, performance analysis, reporting, risk management, and coordination of multidisciplinary technical teams. Hybrid work is based at ESTEC in the Netherlands and requires relocation.
