You will join the Ground Segment System and Cybersecurity Engineering Section in the System and Applications Engineering Division, Ground Systems Engineering & Innovation Department, Directorate of Operations at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC). The Section is responsible for driving cyber security research and development applied to the ground segment and operations domains, for the procurement and delivery of data systems in support of ESA's Space Safety Programme, and as a matrix support provider to ESA programmes and mission operations infrastructure for ground segment system security engineering.
You will work closely with other cyber security actors within the Agency, and in particular the ESA Security Office. The Security Office is the Agency's security authority. It is responsible, among other things, for the procurement and delivery of major resilience programmes, including the Agency's Space Cyber Security Centre of Excellence (SCCoE) and the Cyber Safety and Security Operations Centre (C-SOC).
The security of space systems is becoming ever more paramount as space assets provide increasingly critical services to society and as the technological and geopolitical landscape leads to a more volatile threat environment. Across the Agency, major initiatives are underway to ensure the cyber resilience of ESA's corporate and mission operations infrastructures and future programmes. These initiatives include wide-ranging, crucial research and development initiatives to ensure readiness for the future threat landscape.
Within this context, there remain several open challenges, areas of research and opportunities to advance the state-of-the-art in the space system cyber security domain. The European Space Agency is seeking a post-doctoral Internal Research Fellow to perform state-of the-art research in solutions for space system cyber security resilience.
