About us
Operations Department
The specific tasks of the currently approx. 40 emplo-yees of the DLR GfR mbH Operations Department re-volve around the secure and reliable operation of the Galileo satellites. Correct functioning of the satellites is essential for optimum satellite navigation.
The responsibilities of the aerospace engineers and other engineering scientists include synchronising the atomic clocks on board the satellites, high-precision orbit determination and the generation of navigation messages. Accurately performing this work requires intensive preparation: the necessary understanding of satellite control is taught by the internal training team; trainees learn procedures and practise them in realistic simulations.In addition, we also develop new navigation-related services, such as a train collision avoidance system.DLR GfR mbH is also the first space control centre to have been certified as an air navigation service provider (ANSP) for CNS (communications, navigation and surveillance) services for air traffic.This means DLR GfR mbH is now authorised to provide services in the aviation sector.
Infrastructure Department
Developing, operating and maintaining the infrastruc-ture of satellite ground stations is the core competen-cy of the Infrastructure Department.Ensuring smooth operation of the Galileo Control Centre requires a reliable team: around 40 enginee-rs, computer scientists and technicians manage and maintain large and small antenna systems, IT networks, software and hardware, infrastructures in server and control rooms, power supply and climate control – all of which are indispensable to ensuring the extremely high availability of 99.9999% in satelli-te operations.
The Infrastructure Department also uses the compe-tencies it has amassed over the years to develop and market new products such as the Distributed Voice Communication System, which allows a large number of users to conduct coordinated, role-based com-munication such as that required in control centres. The department‘s experience in planning, developing and approving large-scale projects in satellite ground stations is highly valued by international partners such as INMARSAT, ESA and EUMETSAT.

Work-life balance
Work-life balance.
last year and had my daughter, I learned that GfR of-fers more than just challenges – it also offers security and flexibility. I was able to return to work just four months after giving birth, first for just a few hours a week, then gradually increasing according to my possibilities. I’m very glad that I didn’t have to choose between my family and my career, but was instead able to combine the two thanks to GfR’s corporate policies.”
Family and career – of course you can have both at DLR GfR mbH
It is important to us that you are able to balance your passion around the Galileo project with your family life – whether that means raising children or caring for elderly or disabled family members. We are happy to help you achieve that balance, and offer flexible working time models such as flexitime. We work with Elternservice AWO, who can provide comprehensive advice and will assist you in finding appropriate child-care or suitable care options for elderly or disabled family members.
Mum with a career: Dipl.-Ing. Jasmina Brajovic, Head of the Mission Planning Team
“What convinced me to join DLR GfR mbH, back then, was the challenge of being part of a project from the very start. I accompanied the development of the control centre and prepared satellite operations in the fields of flight dynamics and mission planning. I was also thrilled to join a young, dynamic team that didn’t simply adhere to entrenched structures, but defined its own processes and systems. When I got pregnant

Recreation.
Five lakes and the Alpine Foreland
The well-known Fünfseenland, or five lakes area, is one of Upper Bavaria’s most popular regions, com-prising the five lakes Ammersee, Starnberger See, Pilsensee, Wörthsee and the Weßlinger See, which lies directly next to DLR GfR mbH. A hilly morainal landscape formed by ice-age glaciers and dotted with lakes and ponds.
With its numerous sights, the popular bathing and holiday destination, once home to celebrities such as Empress Sissi or King Ludwig II, has something to offer for everyone. A large number
of cycling and hiking routes in and around
the Fünfseenland rounds off a bal-anced selection of recreational options.

Careers
Anika BarkowskiBusiness Economist,Administration
After my traineeship I took evening classes and successfully studied to become a business economist. This allowed me to join DLR GfR mbH as a project buyer. The project language is English – a perfect opportunity to apply and develop my language skills.
My job is very varied: from extensive calls for proposals to concluding maintenance and service contracts to procuring equipment, there’s a little bit of everything.I am very happy here, I feel supported and I am given a lot of trust.
Alessandro CodazziDipl. Ing. in Aerospace Engineering,Operations Department
I started working with DLR GfR mbH at the beginning of 2015, after more than 10 years of experience in spacecraft operations and a Master of Business Administration. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the chal-lenges of Galileo, one of Europe’s largest technol-ogy projects, and by the quality of the GfR team. I really believe this company embodies the demanding, dynamic and innovative environment I was looking for.
I work with passion and enthusiasm, and I feel my effort is acknowledged and appreciated. Here at GfR, we share the feeling that together we can achieve something special!
