The Future Programmes Preparation and Technology Office is responsible, among other activities, of:
evaluating the possible scenarios and associated technical solutions to improve European access to
space on the basis of the technical studies developed by the relevant project entities;
assessing proper coherence of all technology activities related to launchers, including technology
policy and harmonisation;
coordinating the assessments of the industrial capabilities in the European launcher sector;
preparing new programmes and programme extensions.
With the raise of the public awareness, there is a widespread recognition today that environmental protection
must be among the highest priorities of every business, and the space sector is not an exception. ESA has
recently prepared a frame policy on sustainable development in which the Agency commits to make its best
efforts, on a systematic basis, for including into each of its current and future programmes specifications,
considerations and actions in favour of the respect of the environment and the preservation of resources. The
ESA directorate of Launchers has just started an assessment of the Environmental Impact of launchers.
However, so far no systematic approach to “green technologies” has been carried out with the aim of reducing
environmental impact.
On the basis of this work, proposals for improvements, in particular in the frame of the Next Generation
Launcher developments will be prepared.
Applicants should have just completed, or be in their final year of a University course at Masters Level (or
equivalent) in a Computer Engineering or equivalent scientific field. Knowledge of space activities and in
particular of launcher activities is an advantage. Knowledge of methodologies and advanced technologies for
green innovation is as well an advantage.
Applicants must be fluent in English and/or French, the official languages of the Agency.
Applicants should have good interpersonal and communication skills and should be able to work in a multi-
cultural environment, both independently and as part of a team.
