EUMETSAT is Europe’s meteorological satellite agency. Its role is to establish and operate meteorological satellites to monitor the weather and climate from space - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This information is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's Member and Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide.
EUMETSAT also operates several Copernicus missions on behalf of the European Union and provide data services to the Copernicus marine and atmospheric services and their users.
As an intergovernmental European Organisation, EUMETSAT has 30 Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.)
EUMETSAT is now inviting well qualified candidates from its Member States to apply for the following post:
An opportunity for an Image Navigation and Registration Engineer has arisen to join our Image, Navigation, Registration and Calibration Competence Area. This is a specialist role but one which offers great opportunities for professional development, processing the latest satellite imagery.
In this role you will provide support to the development and operations of the EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation (EPS-SG) system in the area of image, navigation and registration (INR) and geometrical algorithm processing. The role is likely to evolve to cover other EUMETSAT systems or operations in development.
Your primary responsibilities will include developing the INR processing functionality of EPS-SG instrument missions based on deliverables from space and ground segment development programmes, ensuring that we meet the requirements on geometric quality and performance.
You will also be involved in maintaining, refining and prototyping INR models for EPS-SG instruments and following up and supporting INR aspects of the industrial development of the EPS-SG ground segment including reviews, testing, monitoring and advising on the resolution of deviations.
Acquiring and transferring knowledge for all EPS-SG INR aspects from industry to EUMETSAT is an important requirement of the role in addition to developing, maintaining and procuring INR-related test tools, software and databases and INR data processing and support, as necessary.
You will additionally support system engineering activities and studies in the area of INR and geometrical processing and contribute to testing activities.
Alongside a university degree in a relevant discipline, such as Aerospace Engineering, Physics or Remote Sensing, you should be able to demonstrate an expert knowledge of INR methodologies and techniques (preferably in low Earth orbit) and also possess experience with specification, development and verification of INR processor software and the use of INR-related libraries. Proficiency in a high-level programming language (e.g. C/C++) is required. Familiarity with mission data processing of space-borne instruments, understanding of Flight Dynamic concepts, and knowledge of relevant engineering standards (e.g. ECSS) would be considered an advantage.
We offer attractive employment conditions, with a competitive salary, comprehensive health and social welfare provision, and extensive relocation assistance, if applicable. We provide an outstanding working environment in cosmopolitan Darmstadt, ‘the City of Science’.
All applicants must be a EUMETSAT Member State national with a good working knowledge of the English language, both spoken and written. You also require some knowledge of French.
The closing date is 30th September 2017. Interviews are scheduled to take place week commencing 15th October.
EUMETSAT is committed to providing an equal opportunities work environment for men and women and is seeking to recruit nationals from its Member States. Please see our website for further details.
