START: Jan 2025

LOCATION: Darmstadt

WORKING LANGUAGE: English

MUST-HAVE SKILLS 

• University degree in the domain of engineering, science, or equivalent
• Extensive hands-on experience (at least 5 years) in schedule preparation, monitoring and control, for complex/large system programmes, as well as in planning and monitoring the allocated resources
• Demonstrated ability to define system development logic and schedules and successfully implement them
• Demonstrated ability to understand the system components and their development constraints
• Extensive experience in using Microsoft Project or a similar project management tool suite (e.g. Primavera)
• Analyze complex development schedules, identify critical areas and produce accurate and concise analyses and recommendations
• Shall be used to working in a rigorous manner with formal configuration management of schedule versions
• They shall be able to fulfil the assigned tasks with supervision have a systematic approach to work, be able to plan his/her work and to cope with tight schedules and multiple tasks

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

• Knowledge of large space programmes development logic standards and specifications (e.g. ECSS) is considered a strong asset
• Experience in supporting management of large space systems development. Experience in critical design and qualification phases (e.g. C/D phases) will be considered a strong advantage
• Demonstrated experience of defining system interactions and successfully implementing them in a large project

TASKS

• Develop and maintain system schedules and logic for all elements, ensuring alignment with program constraints.
• Analyze critical paths, track progress, and manage interactions between subsystems and partners.
• Monitor resource conflicts, signal deviations, and propose solutions to keep plans on track.
• Prepare reports, metrics, and inputs for reviews, meetings, and department schedules.
• Support configuration management and ensure smooth subsystem integration.
