INTEGRATED LOGISTICS ENGINEER

Position Title: INTEGRATED LOGISTICS ENGINEER

We are looking for young engineers to join our Integrated Logistic unit, which provides Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) for the International Space Station (ISS) exploitation activities, both at European and national level.

At European level, in the frame of Columbus Logistic Support, ALTEC has been assigned by the European Space Agency (ESA) as the ISS European Logistics Center, which is in charge of Warehousing & Inventory of all ESA components and spares, planning and implementation of transport of ESA ISS Programme hardware, performing Cargo Review of ESA cargo to be launched on ISS, flight packing definition and implementation, maintenance planning and stowage management. At National level, in the frame of the bi-lateral agreement with NASA, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) has assigned to ALTEC the task of providing the sustaining engineering support to NASA for PMM module, dealing with the support to Maintenance activities operated by NASA, monitoring of operational life of critical HW in PMM in view of the life extension of the Module up to the end of ISS operations, monitoring of stowage in PMM. These activities represent today one of the basis for the ALTEC involvement in the new Space Economy opportunities, such as Commercial Space Stations and the new mission to the Moon.

We’re looking for people motivated to have a systemic view of the Space Systems supported by our group and provide a highly reliable service to daily operations on orbit from the beginning of the operational life of an infrastructure element or payload up to its end-of-life.
