CGI is among the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world. Operating across the globe, CGI delivers end-to-end capabilities, from business consulting to systems integration as well as IP development. This is also true for our team, CGI Space Netherlands. Over 100 Space IT engineers work in our own office in Rotterdam, but also providing onsite support across ground stations in Europe, such as ESTEC, Paris, Oberpfaffenhofen and Fucino.
CGI Space Netherlands activities can be roughly divided in three areas: Building Galileo, Engineering support to ESA and EUSPA, and Downstream Applications.
The Galileo team develops, maintains, secures and validates complex and mission critical space applications. The 30 Galileo satellites fly by CGI’s control system and 200+ missions are supported by CGI’s software. In addition, we have carried out 10.000+ tests to evaluate Galileo’s security aspects.
With our Space domain knowledge we support the European Space Agencies ESA and EUSPA in their roles with various Engineering consultancy positions. Our Engineers support the agencies throughout Europe, both in the Netherlands at ESTEC and the GRC, as on various locations in Galileo’s ground system and Agency Offices.
The Downstream Applications team brings the value of space to our end-users across domains. The team develops earth observation solutions and robust and secure positioning, navigation and timing algorithms based on Galileo satellite navigation signals. The service supports governmental bodies by providing more robust positioning solutions and preventing fraud.
The Space department is growing at a rapid pace. Therefore we are always looking for new and proven talent. Do you want to combine your space background with developing professional software, are you a born system engineer or do you want to contribute to our mission in any way, then join us at Discover your Space!
