As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space - delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.</p><p>The Defense Systems Group (DSG) provides analysis-based decision support to senior leaders on space architectures, policy and strategy, technology development, warfighter capability enablers, systems integration, defense industrial base, and threat reduction to help shape existing and future space missions across the national security space (NSS) enterprise. DSG is unique at Aerospace as it not only directly supports major customers, including the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Space Command, Air Force Material Command, and senior leadership at the Pentagon, but also provides a broad range of technical support across the national space enterprise, maintaining vertical responsibilities with customers’ portfolios as well as horizontal, matrixed responsibilities across the corporation. Additionally, DSG provides deep technical expertise to the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) in the conception, design, acquisition, launch and operations of satellite, launch vehicle, ground control, and range systems.</p><p>Aerospace is the trusted technical and programmatic advisor to the Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) Program Office, responsible for system development, integration, and transition to operations on an aggressive national timeline. ESS is the recapitalization of the strategic satellite communications architecture that underwrites nuclear command, control, and communications, the system that has to work on its worst day.</p><p>The Command &amp; Control (C2) Terminal is where that system meets the operator. It is the link that has to close under jamming, under stress, and under conditions no commercial terminal is ever asked to survive. If the terminal doesn't work, nothing else in the architecture matters.</p><p>This is an RF Engineer's job at the center of a national mission. The Sr. C2 Terminal RF &amp; Antenna System Engineer will evaluate competing terminal architectures, assess real prototypes from multiple vendors, and lead the integration and test work that determines which design the government buys. You will be hands-on with antennas, phased arrays, software-defined radios, and signal processing and your technical findings will directly shape a multi-billion-dollar acquisition. Few RF Engineers get to do deep technical work and have it drive a procurement decision. That is this role.</p><p>Aerospace exists to give the government the technical answer, which means your assessment of a vendor's link budget or array performance is not filtered through anyone's business development interests. For engineers who have spent years defending a product line, this is the difference that matters.</p><p>One important note before you read further: this position requires an active Secret clearance with eligibility to obtain TS/SCI - not TS/SCI in hand. If you hold a current Secret and assumed strategic mission work was closed to you, it is not. Apply.</p><p>The selected candidate will be required to work full-time, on-site at our facility at Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA.</p><h3>What You'll Be Doing</h3><ul><li>Serving as the program's subject matter expert in C2 RF system, antennas, phased arrays, and software-defined radio (SDR) communication subsystems</li><li>Solving hard MILSATCOM problems end to end: link performance, signal processing, waveform behavior, interference, and anti-jam performance under realistic operational conditions</li><li>Evaluating competing C2 terminal architectures and prototypes, and leading the integration and test activity that separates vendor claims from measured performance</li><li>Leading project teams and engaging the customer directly on the problems that actually matter with real influence over what gets built</li><li>Translating technical findings into decisions, briefing senior government and Aerospace leadership with clarity and brevity, writing assessments that withstand scrutiny, and building consensus across contractors and organizations that do not report to you so the right technical answer gets adopted rather than merely documented</li><li>Using your technical judgment to keep ongoing development programs executing successfully while shaping future mission capability</li><li>Operating strategically in support of our NC3 customers and stakeholder community</li><li>Developing and managing Aerospace Engineering and Technology Group (ETG) support to the program, ensuring the team has access to the specialized expertise it needs, when it needs it</li></ul><p>****</p><p>What You Need to be Successful Minimum Requirements for Sr. Project Engineer – Communications Systems and Payload Systems Engineering – RF:</p><ul><li>Bachelor's degree from an accredited program in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline</li><li>Twelve or more years of related experience in antenna/RF system design, analysis, and test or comparable depth in SDR, waveform, signal processing, or satellite terminal engineering</li><li>Experience supporting DoD or IC space system programs</li><li>Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to brief technical material to senior audiences with clarity and brevity, write assessments that withstand scrutiny, and move stakeholders who outrank you or don't work for you toward a sound technical position</li><li>Willingness to travel domestically up to 10% of the time</li><li>An active Secret security clearance with eligibility to obtain a TS/SCI clearance issued by the U.S. government . U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.</li></ul><p>How You Can Stand Out It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:</p><ul><li>An advanced degree in a relevant technical area</li><li>Proficiency in phased array design, modeling, and performance measurement</li><li>Proven ability to architect and implement antenna and RF system solutions against real-world performance requirements</li><li>Hands-on experience with SATCOM terminal development, integration, or test airborne, ground-mobile, or fixed</li><li>Experience developing or operating ground stations</li><li>Experience with protected SATCOM, anti-jam, or anti-spoof techniques and their measured performance</li><li>Experience with RF test and measurement, anechoic chamber or range testing, and anomaly resolution on real hardware</li><li>Experience evaluating competing vendor designs, supporting source selection, or assessing contractor technical performance</li><li>Experience working in a program office with a government customer</li><li>A track record of leading development projects and mentoring junior engineers</li><li>An existing TS/SCI clearance</li></ul><p>We offer a competitive compensation package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to our business.

Each lead owns one initiative end to end: its technical approach, its requirements and architecture, its cost and schedule, and the working relationships with the engineers and subject matter experts whose work the capability depends on.</p><p>We expect to fill more than one of these positions. Current and planned initiatives include an agentic platform that gives AI controlled, secure access to subject matter expert tools, databases, physics models, and document collections, spanning component engineering, modeling and simulation, verification and validation, and spectral phenomenology; enterprise agentic AI, covering orchestration, tool and data integration, and agent lifecycle management at enterprise scale; AI for software engineering, covering agentic coding assistants and developer productivity across the engineering population; and modeling, simulation, and digital engineering tooling.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>The ESA National Graduate Trainee (NGT) Programmes offer recent Master’s graduates the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience at ESA across a range of space-related disciplines. The programmes are essentially similar to ESA’s own Graduate Trainee Programme, notably in offering the same employment conditions. They however differ in one important respect: each NGT Programme is funded by an individual ESA Member State or Associate Member under a bilateral partnership agreement concluded with ESA. As a result, a representative of the sponsoring State participates in the selection process. In addition to assessing candidates against the requirements of the position, the selection may also include an evaluation of their background and knowledge of the space policies and related activities of the sponsoring State.</p><h3>Location</h3><p>ESRIN, Frascati, Italy</p><h3>Our team and mission</h3><p>The Applications Section primarily engages in research and development (R&amp;D) focused on Earth observation-based solutions that contribute to addressing the European and global international environment and development agenda. Our projects typically involve active collaboration with Early Adopters at every stage, including design, development, and validation. This ensures the seamless integration of innovative EO-based solutions into end-user operational systems and practices. The team is based at the ESRIN site of ESA and comprises nine Earth observation (EO) experts. Each expert specialises in overseeing specific domains where EO data are applied. The Applications team is part of the Green Solutions Division ( eo4society - eo science for society ) .</p><p>You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: http://www.esa.int</p><h3>Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship</h3><p>About 21% of the world’s forest area is currently designated under legal protection. These forests are highly valuable for carbon storage and sustaining biodiversity. However, high annual rates of tree cover loss continue to this day, with impacts both on forest carbon stocks and their biodiversity. It therefore remains difficult to assess how effective protected area designation is as a forest conservation tool. The legal status of a protected area does not automatically mean that active protection is being implemented, particularly in regions with limited financial resources for conservation.</p><p>ESA’s Sentinel missions are widely used to monitor forests by providing frequent, consistent, and freely available satellite data on forests. In April 2025, ESA also launched the BIOMASS mission with a novel P-band synthetic aperture radar designed to deliver crucial information about forest conditions, changes, and their role in the carbon cycle. As an NGT, you will utilise BIOMASS mission data in synergy with several other EO missions (particularly the Sentinels) to achieve the following:</p><ul><li>Develop forest (a) carbon and (b) structural/functional biodiversity indicators for protected areas.</li><li>Map land cover and land cover change within protected boundaries using long-term EO time series, comparing trends inside protected areas with surrounding unprotected lands.</li><li>Evaluate ecosystem condition, for example by tracking vegetation health, fragmentation, or recovery after disturbance.</li><li>Summarise key findings that will concisely and accurately inform international/national policies aimed at forest conservation.</li></ul><p>You will utilise ESA-supported cloud computing platforms for conducting your research. By the end of the traineeship, you will have gained practical experience in scalable Earth observation processing, applied analytical methods for land monitoring, product validation and uncertainty assessment, and stakeholder-driven development in an international setting. You will also develop a broader understanding of how EO-derived forest information supports international policy and reporting frameworks.</p><h3>Technical competencies</h3><p>Knowledge of relevant technical/functional domains</p><p>Relevant experience gained during internships, project work and/or extracurricular or other activities</p><p>General knowledge of the space sector and relevant activities</p><p>Knowledge of ESA and its programmes/projects</p><h3>Behavioural competencies</h3><p>Result Orientation</p><p>Operational Efficiency</p><p>Fostering Cooperation</p><p>Relationship Management</p><p>Continuous Improvement</p><p>Forward Thinking</p><p>For more information, please refer to ESA Core Behavioural Competencies guidebook</p><h3>Education</h3><p>You should have just completed, or be in the final year of your master’ s degree in Forestry, Remote Sensing, Data Science, Environmental Science, or a related engineering discipline.</p><h3>Additional requirements</h3><p>You should have good interpersonal and communication skills and should be able to work in a multicultural environment, both independently and as part of a team. Previous experience of working in international teams can be considered an asset. Your motivation, overall professional perspective and career goals will also be explored during the later stages of the selection process.</p><p>In addition to the standard requirements, the following would be considered an asset:</p><ul><li>Experience with Earth observation for land cover mapping and multi temporal satellite data processing; familiarity with forest ecosystems is an asset.</li><li>Strong programming skills (e.g. R, Python), including geospatial data processing.</li><li>Knowledge of machine learning and deep learning for image and time series analysis; experience with cloud or high performance computing environments is an asset.</li><li>Ability to communicate results clearly in writing and presentations and to collaborate effectively with international partners.</li></ul><h3>Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness</h3><p>ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. We therefore welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious beliefs, age, disability or other characteristics.</p><p>At the Agency we value diversity, and we welcome people with disabilities. Whenever possible, we seek to accommodate individuals with disabilities by providing the necessary support at the workplace. The Human Resources Department can also provide assistance during the recruitment process. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us via email at contact.human.resources@esa.int .</p><h3>Important Information and Disclaimer</h3><p>During the recruitment process, the Agency may request applicants to undergo selection tests. Additionally, successful candidates will need to undergo basic screening before appointment, which will be conducted by an external background screening service, in compliance with the European Space Agency's security procedures.</p><p>The information published on ESA’s careers website regarding working conditions is correct at the time of publication. It is not intended to be exhaustive and may not address all questions you would have.</p><h3>Nationality and Languages</h3><p>Please note that applications can only be considered from nationals of Estonia or permanent residents of Estonia with the nationality of an ESA Member State, Associate Member or Cooperating State.</p><p>The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.</p>]]></description>

Keystone would provide the first direct observations of atomic oxygen in the mesosphere-thermosphere system, using a unique combination of limb-sounding techniques to cover altitudes from 50 to 250km. These observations, together with measurements of composition, temperature and winds, would enable scientists to study the processes that drive variability and energy balance in this region of the atmosphere, including the effects of solar cycles and space weather. Three EE12 candidate missions are currently under consideration; following completion of their respective Phase A studies, one will be selected for implementation. A brief description of the EE12 mission candidates is available here:</p><p>https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Preparing_for_tomorrow/ESA_selects_four_new_Earth_Explorer_mission_ideas</p><p>You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: http://www.esa.int</p><h3>Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship</h3><p>You will join the Keystone mission team, supporting the mission’s scientific definition and performance evaluation to help maximise its scientific output and contribute to the feasibility assessment and final mission selection process, scheduled for summer 2028.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>The ESA National Graduate Trainee (NGT) Programmes offer recent Master’s graduates the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience at ESA across a range of space-related disciplines. The programmes are essentially similar to ESA’s own Graduate Trainee Programme, notably in offering the same employment conditions. They however differ in one important respect: each NGT Programme is funded by an individual ESA Member State or Associate Member under a bilateral partnership agreement concluded with ESA. As a result, a representative of the sponsoring State participates in the selection process. In addition to assessing candidates against the requirements of the position, the selection may also include an evaluation of their background and knowledge of the space policies and related activities of the sponsoring State.</p><h3>Location</h3><p>ECSAT, Harwell, United Kingdom</p><h3>Our team and mission</h3><p>The Structures, Mechanisms and Materials Division is the centre of competence of the Agency in all areas related to spacecraft and launcher structures, mechanisms, tribology and pyrotechnic devices, as well as materials and processes. This encompasses spacecraft and launcher lightweight structures, stable structures, advanced mechanical materials applications, structural dynamics, damage tolerance, deployable structures/booms, active structures, hold-down and release devices, electrical motors for space mechanisms, launcher and re-entry vehicle hot- and cold structures, landing attenuation systems, seals, valves, parachute systems, separation systems, solar array drive mechanisms, reaction wheels, pointing mechanisms, pyrotechnics, bearings and tribology aspects. It provides support to projects, preparatory programs and technology programs.</p><p>In order to achieve its objectives, the Materials, Manufacturing, and Assembly Section, located at ESTEC (Noordwijk, NL) is also managing the Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory at ECSAT (Harwell, UK) whose objective is the performance evaluation and feasibility assessment of emerging manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing and advanced joining techniques and to explore the benefit of utilising additional capabilities available through the Harwell campus.</p><p>The work proposed will be carried out at ECSAT in close cooperation with the Materials and Processes Section at ESTEC. The general activities performed within the remit of the Materials and Processes Section, covering also activities at ECSAT include:</p><ul><li>the qualification for space flight of all advanced metallic and non-metallic materials, structural ceramics and glasses as well as all related manufacturing and surface treatment processes for all ESA spacecraft and launchers programme;</li><li>the development of revolutionary materials and innovative manufacturing technologies both internally and in cooperation with other space agencies and research organisations;</li><li>the failure investigation of materials and processes underperforming and impacting ESA space missions;</li><li>the development, certification and support of new European industrial capabilities, manufacturing processes and manpower skills training related to space applications of materials and components;</li><li>the establishment and implementation of requirements and standards for the development and the procurement of space grade materials and manufacturing processes;</li><li>the development, maintenance and improvement of the European Space Materials Database, storing all relevant data generated for materials and processes intended for Space use.</li></ul><p>You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: http://www.esa.int</p><h3>Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship</h3><p>The Advanced Manufacturing Cross-Cutting Initiative captures the opportunity of adopting revolutionary manufacturing capabilities, advanced materials and associated processes and creates sustainable competitive advantage for European space industry in the global market. In its latest revision of activities, emphasis is given to smart manufacturing, i.e. the use of interconnected digital technologies in industrial production, that enable new and more efficient processes and which in some cases yield new goods and services.</p><p>The current space missions are often limited in their performances and scientific achievements by the traditional manufacturing processes/concepts. Though Advanced Manufacturing technologies are readily available in the current European industrial landscape, these can be adopted for next generation space hardware manufacturing. This will enable new and highly innovative spacecraft and launchers designs, with significantly reduced manufacturing constraints (including costs and lead-time) and tremendous performance improvement.</p><p>Complementing this initiative, the following activities are currently targeted through the advanced manufacturing laboratory:</p><ul><li>identifying, investigating and performing pre-assessment of emerging materials and processes, investigating and use of advanced non-destructive inspection (NDI) techniques in support of, or even replacing, experimental destructive laboratory verification activities;</li><li>optimising the performance of metal based additively manufactured parts by investigating the relation between raw material quality and part performance;</li><li>performing testing to determine fundamental properties of powders;</li><li>providing assistance in the design and production of test coupons;</li><li>performing material related tests on 3D-printed test structures (e.g. tensile testing, fatigue testing, defect analysis) and correlating the properties of as-built parts with previously measured powder characteristics;</li><li>investigating the part performance produced by multi-laser additive manufacturing;</li><li>assisting model development for virtual testing and digital twinning, linking process, structure, and performance in generating input parameters for integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) models.</li></ul><p>You will use facilities available through the ECSAT Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory in close cooperation with ESTEC Materials and Electrical Components Laboratory, in order to characterise all the above advanced materials and manufacturing processes, with particular focus on additive manufacturing.</p><p>The final goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of the performances of the identified technologies and provide recommendations for further improvement in view of their space application in highly demanding environments.</p><h3>Technical competencies</h3><p>Knowledge of relevant technical/functional domains</p><p>Relevant experience gained during internships, project work and/or extracurricular or other activities</p><p>General knowledge of the space sector and relevant activities</p><p>Knowledge of ESA and its programmes/projects</p><h3>Behavioural competencies</h3><p>Result Orientation</p><p>Operational Efficiency</p><p>Fostering Cooperation</p><p>Relationship Management</p><p>Continuous Improvement</p><p>Forward Thinking</p><p>For more information, please refer to ESA Core Behavioural Competencies guidebook</p><h3>Education</h3><p>You should have just completed, or be in the final year of your master’ s degree in material science covering metallic, polymeric and/or composite materials.</p><h3>Additional requirements</h3><p>You should have good interpersonal and communication skills and should be able to work in a multicultural environment, both independently and as part of a team. Previous experience of working in international teams can be considered an asset. Your motivation, overall professional perspective and career goals will also be explored during the later stages of the selection process.</p><h3>Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness</h3><p>ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. We therefore welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious beliefs, age, disability or other characteristics.</p><p>At the Agency we value diversity, and we welcome people with disabilities.

This multidisciplinary, innovation-driven team composed by researchers, graduate and undergraduate students is based at the ESA European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT). The founding idea behind this initiative is to prepare the future of Space exploration. To do so, a pragmatic and research focused approach is adopted, and knowledge acquired is disseminated within ESA, partners and the relevant scientific community.</p><p>The Spaceship team is also involved in supporting the development of our VULCAN facility at ECSAT. This facility is designed to be a focal point for simulant development (including regolith, rocks etc.) and curation activities in Europe for Space Applications, with a focus on Exploration and Science. It provides expertise to ESA, its member states, and potentially worldwide regarding analogue and simulant materials.</p><p>We are continually looking for innovative applicants with skills or interests in these areas to join the Spaceship ECSAT team.</p><p>For more information on the Spaceship ECSAT, please look at the ESA blog ( ESA - Spaceship ECSAT ).</p><p>You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: http://www.esa.int</p><h3>Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship</h3><p>Within Spaceship ECSAT, we have a number of fields where we carry out different projects. Our team is always on the lookout for talented and motivated persons to join our projects and contribute to ESA’s exploration activities. The main areas into which the initiative is currently active are remote manipulation, surface mobility, embedded systems and human-machine interfaces.</p><p>Some of the topics you may be working on as a National Graduate Trainee are the following:</p><ul><li>demonstrating disruptive technologies such as Virtual/Augmented Reality, collaborative robotics and their potential use cases for exploration;</li><li>investigating novel concepts in the domain of Space Resources/In-Situ Resource Utilisation, to enable sustainable human exploration;</li><li>topics related to ‘off world living’, e.g. human factors, design and concept illustration.</li></ul><h3>Technical competencies</h3><p>Knowledge of relevant technical/functional domains</p><p>Relevant experience gained during internships, project work and/or extracurricular or other activities</p><p>General knowledge of the space sector and relevant activities</p><p>Knowledge of ESA and its programmes/projects</p><h3>Behavioural competencies</h3><p>Result Orientation</p><p>Operational Efficiency</p><p>Fostering Cooperation</p><p>Relationship Management</p><p>Continuous Improvement</p><p>Forward Thinking</p><p>For more information, please refer to ESA Core Behavioural Competencies guidebook</p><h3>Education</h3><p>You should have just completed, or be in the final year of your master’ s degree in Robotics, Computer science or affiliated fields.</p><h3>Additional requirements</h3><p>You should have good interpersonal and communication skills and should be able to work in a multicultural environment, both independently and as part of a team. Previous experience of working in international teams can be considered an asset. Your motivation, overall professional perspective and career goals will also be explored during the later stages of the selection process.</p><h3>Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness</h3><p>ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. We therefore welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious beliefs, age, disability or other characteristics.</p><p>At the Agency we value diversity, and we welcome people with disabilities.

    <description><![CDATA[<h3>Location</h3><p>ESRIN, Frascati, Italy</p><h3>Our team and mission</h3><p>Reporting to the Head of the Explore Office in the ESA Φ-lab, you will work in close cooperation with other staff in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes and colleagues from the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. There may also be collaboration with scientists and engineers in other divisions at ESA. You will be part of the ESA Φ-lab. Our mission is to accelerate the future of Earth observation via transformative innovation* and commercialisation actions strengthening ESA Member States’ world-leading competitiveness. .Our vision is to be the “EO innovation hub”, connecting EO with a growing ecosystem of disruptive and transformative innovation such as AI, ML, quantum computing, edge computing, metamaterials, photonics, etc. Many of the challenges posed by new technologies still need to be tackled at the scientific, application and capability level to deliver maximum value from satellite-derived EO assets for our climate, society, and economy. The Φ-lab will bring together early career and senior researchers from a variety of disciplines across EO and disruptive/transformative innovation to help develop innovative EO solutions.</p><h3>We offer</h3><ul><li>a stimulating multinational, interdisciplinary and open work environment;</li><li>access to high-performance computing infrastructure and unparalleled EO and technology expertise;</li><li>a unique opportunity to work on innovative solutions to address global challenges;</li><li>freedom and focus to conduct creative research while making an impact in relation to ESA’s strategy;</li><li>a wide network of relationships and collaboration with top academia, industry and research centres;</li><li>the opportunity to contribute to the Φ-lab strategy and activities.</li></ul><p>You are encouraged to visit the ESA website: https://www.esa.int/</p><h3>Main objectives of the Research Fellowship</h3><p>Cognitive cloud computing in space (3CS) is emerging as a key paradigm for future Earth observation systems, enabling coordinated, event-driven operations across heterogeneous space assets through onboard intelligence, distributed computing and inter-satellite communications. By supporting capabilities such as autonomous tip-and-cue, event-based mission replanning, adaptive multi-sensor tasking and distributed information fusion, 3CS aims to significantly improve the responsiveness and autonomy of future EO missions. In this context, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) represents a strategic sensing modality thanks to its all-weather, day-and-night imaging capabilities, providing reliable information to trigger and support coordinated observations in rapidly evolving scenarios such as disasters, maritime surveillance and security monitoring. Recent advances in cognitive SAR have demonstrated the potential of AI methods operating directly on raw or partially processed data for tasks such as learned focusing, adaptive compression and information extraction. However, significant challenges remain, including the computational complexity of SAR processing chains, the limited robustness of current AI approaches, and the difficulty of deploying intelligent processing under stringent onboard resource constraints. In addition, significant exploration is still required to explore novel cognitive SAR and novel mission concepts enabled by onboard SAR processing. This fellowship will address these challenges by developing AI-based methods for onboard SAR data processing operating close to the sensing level, enabling real-time information extraction, event detection, autonomous re-tasking, and cooperative multi-sensor operations for next-generation missions, including Copernicus Sentinel-1 Next Generation, thereby supporting the transition towards autonomous and coordinated EO systems.</p><h3>Research topic of interests include</h3><ul><li>advanced onboard SAR data processing architectures: target applications include but are not limited to onboard SAR data focusing, and extraction of insight from SAR unfocused data;</li><li>cognitive SAR: novel mission concepts, applications and in-orbit data processing for cognitive SAR systems;</li><li>onboard foundation models for SAR data processing: including multimodal foundation models;</li><li>onboard SAR for 3CS systems: onboard SAR for tip-and-cue systems, in-orbit data fusion, etc.</li></ul><p>Within your application, please provide a research proposal (no more than five pages) related to onboard AI for SAR missions:</p><ul><li>Describe the main research questions that you would like to address.</li><li>Propose a research plan with a clear description of the methodology that you would like to adopt to answer those questions with specific reference to your previous experience and your publications on the topic, the novel concept that you plan to research, and a possible schedule.</li></ul><h3>In particular, you will</h3><ul><li>undertake advanced research activities, exploring and expanding the use of disruptive/transformative innovation (AI, ML, disruptive computing, etc.) to develop new prototypes for onboard SAR data processing, cognitive SAR, and onboard SAR for 3CS systems.
