Description

We are expanding our team and are seeking 7 earth observation data processing engineers based in Darmstadt, Germany working as part of our multi-national project team.

In the context of Satellite Earth Observation data acquisition, processing, monitoring, and control systems in an operational Mission Control Centre environment.  You will provide engineering consultancy to design and system engineering / reengineering activities, fully system lifecycle, in the Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Multi Mission Element framework, which consists in a system of offline Ground Segment elements, specifically for the Long Trend Analysis, Quality Monitoring and Reporting aimed to support the operational activities of existing and future programmes. Candidate areas are programmes such as EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS), Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), Meteosat Second Generation (MTG), EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation (EPS-SG), and Copernicus Sentinel Missions.

Support the day-to-day operation and maintenance, analysis, design, development, and testing of the facilities which also includes the handling of anomalies, upgrades and configuration changes for these facilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Focal point for integrating individual Facilities into a system context, covering all aspects from early SW development, definition of interfaces, system integration and testing, and end to end testing of the production system.
  • Setup and implement maintenance policies and procedures as well as the co-ordination with external providers of maintenance services.
  • Support further development of product quality monitoring and calibration and validation activities in Operations and in future Client projects.
  • Definition, design, implementation, and maintenance of architectures for data processing ground segments and their components - with special emphasis on product quality control, calibration and validation, production monitoring and reporting.
  • Support the operations of existing data processing ground segments, their maintenance and evolution. Including: upgrading software, including implementing, and maintaining new algorithms for product quality control and calibration/validation activities.
