Position Description:

CGI is a European leader in Space Ground Segment systems and services in the domains of Earth Observation, Navigation, Satellite Communications, Space Safety and Mission Operations.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

• Conducting routine flight operations
• Ground segment test, validation and maintenance activities;
• Preparation, validation and maintenance of all the operational products required to conduct the mission, in particular the Flight Operations Procedures;
• Preparation, validation and maintenance of mission specific tools, operations databases and products;
• Preparation of training material and conduction of training;
• Participation in simulations campaigns;
• Provision of on-call support;
• Support to Space and Ground Segment anomaly investigation and resolution;
• Trend and performance analysis;
• Identification and support to implementation of system and process improvements.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

• A university degree in aerospace, mathematics, physics or equivalent
• A demonstrated and consolidated experience with 1 to 5 years in the field of spacecraft operations or similar
• Fluency in English. Knowledge of German would be an advantage
• Highly motivated and able to learn independently.
