    This role will suit someone at a Professional or Early Careers stage, who has a Data background either in Architecture or Aerospace/Space, who is eager to learn what important role data plays when developing satellites.

    Due to increased workload, we are looking for a socially skilled Database Architect who will be integrated into 1-3 projects and join a small Stevenage team of professionals who are part of a larger transnational team. Being in contact with a wide range of departments, most Stevenage based, means face-to-face meetings and maybe a cuppa will be welcomed.

    • Work on Projects like ARIEL , Aeolus-2 , ExoMars Rover (and more) for ESA and the UK MOD, within a Scrum environment.
    • Tailor architecture to project needs based on the framework of the product, or based on heritage / legacy situations
    • Populate the database via data import functions, manual entry, or scripting.
    • Ensure consistency of the overall Systems Engineering database content and performing of validation, including transnational harmonization
    • Project management of the SEDB work package in terms of schedule, cost, risk, plus management of changes, and issues.
    • Team management of the DB team and/or subcontracted work packages in case of larger projects

    About you

    • Experience in data management and organisation within an aerospace/space environment
    • Programming skills with Java, C++, or similar object-oriented languages alongside Version control systems (SVN, Git, ...)
    • Basic knowledge of project management principles
    • Experience of prioritising tasks based on information rather than how loud someone is being
    • Capability to dissect a complex problem into manageable parts, and to ensure its solution in an autonomous way
    • Interested in AI and bringing ideas to the table to shape processes and new ways of working
