Tasks & accountabilities

Airbus is preparing the on-orbit operations of two Fluid Science Experiments on-board the International Space Station (ISS). As part of the project core team the System Engineer for ISS Experiment Integration & Operations will prepare and implement the integration between Columbus Fluid Science Lab Rack Facility and the Experiment Insert.

Your main tasks and responsibilities will include:

  • Interface engineering between experiments and rack facility
  • Developing and testing of experiment protocol scripts for the execution of the fluid science experiments
  • Development and testing experiment specific command & telemetry data base
  • Coordinating preparation of ground operational procedure with user support center
  • Prepare input for crew procedures for on-orbit installation of experiment insert on the ISS
  • Working together in a team with rack level integration and facility operators to validate all mission assets before launch of the experiment flight hardware
  • Setup ground infrastructure for facility and experiment engineering support
  • Define architecture, coordinate development of data processing tools for scientific data products
  • Coordination with cargo integration for launch logistics including bench-review process for hardware hand-over to cargo integrator and launch authority
