Description User Terminals – Spectrum and Signals Officer, IRIS² Integrated Programme Team, Secure Connectivity Programme Department, Directorate of Resilience, Navigation and Connectivity (D/RNC). On 15 March 2023, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted Regulation (EU)2023/588 establishing the Union Secure Connectivity Programme for the period 2023–2027. The objective of the EU Secure Connectivity Programme is to deploy an EU satellite constellation, IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite). The Programme will provide an EU satellite-based, multiorbital communication infrastructure for governmental use while integrating and complementing existing and future national and European capacities in the framework of the GOVSATCOM component of the EU Space Programme. The ESA Programme related to EU Secure Connectivity is intended to support the effective development and validation of the EU Secure Connectivity (IRIS²) governmental infrastructure, which is to be developed, deployed and operated under a concession contract signed by the EU with a private consortium, and the services provided by it, as well as the validation and demonstration of services based on the commercial infrastructure developed by the contractors delivering the EU Secure Connectivity governmental infrastructure. The European Commission and ESA have set up an Integrated Programme Team (IPT) to manage the EU IRIS² Programme and, in particular, the related concession contract, and to ensure close coordination between all activities relating to IRIS². Reporting functionally to the Engineering/R&D Manager of the Integrated Programme Team and hierarchically to the head of the ESA Secure Connectivity System Office, you will be responsible for the timely delivery of user terminals required to provide governmental service for all aspects relating to access to spectrum for the IRIS² governmental infrastructure, and for signal definition and the implementation of the 5G standardisation roadmap. You will conduct and oversee activities aimed at building up the EU’s industrial capability in this domain. You will liaise with ESA for joint efforts in the domain and will rely on the Agency for the supervision of industrial activities relating to the development and validation of user terminals, aiming to ensure coordination in accordance with the agreements between ESA and the Commission. You will be based in Brussels until Q1 2028, with the possibility of extension, within the framework of the 12-year Contribution Agreement between ESA and the Commission. At the end of the assignment, you will be reassigned to a position within D/RNC. Duties Your tasks and responsibilities will include: interfacing with the ESA Secure Connectivity System Office and the ESA Ground Segment and Operations Office and relying on the Agency for the supervision of industrial activities relating to the development and validation of user terminals, aiming to ensure coordination in accordance with the Contribution Agreement and the Programme Management Plan; conducting all relevant IPT activities, including for the build-up of EU engineering, manufacturing and supply chain capabilities; reporting to the Exploitation Manager of the IPT and supporting them as required. Under the authority of the IPT Engineering/R&D Manager, you will: be responsible for and conduct all IPT tasks aimed at ensuring the timely availability of the specified user terminals supporting governmental service, at the expected economic conditions, with overall responsibility for all aspects relating to access to spectrum for the IRIS² governmental infrastructure and for signal definition, including the 5G standardisation roadmap; interface with industry on matters relating to signal, including 5G, spectrum and the user terminals of the IRIS² concession; conduct all IPT tasks relating to the build-up of EU manufacturing capabilities at user terminal level; maintain a baseline scenario for incremental development and deployment of the user segment, including the related technology and subsystem roadmaps at user segment level; contribute to the maintenance of programme-level schedule management, risk management and configuration control; contribute to the maintenance of the programme-level cost plan and key performance indicators and propose corrective measures to respond to deviations from performance, schedule and cost targets established at programme level; ensure consistency of all requirements with the MRD; analyse user segment-related requests for chan
