EPSSG Image Navigation and Registration INR Support, based at EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany Sercos space heritage over the last 40 years has placed us in the Space News Top 50 Space Industry Manufacturing and Services Companies. With over 1500 staff in the space business covering a wide spectrum of experience and skills, we convey best practice, expertise and innovation in our business. All members of our recruitment team have extensive space experience, so have the insight necessary to support you through the application process. For our activities in EUMETSAT, we are currently seeking someone to be integrated into the INR and Calibration Section, which provides support for the EPSSG Programme in the area of INR and geometrical processing. Tasks Help to develop the INR processing functionality for the mission data processing of all EPSSG instrument missions, throughout the procurement lifecycle Acquire detailed knowledge on the EPSSG System INR architecture including dependencies and interactions between the platform and the instruments as well as between the instruments hosted on the same platform. Any incompatibilities to the EPSSG requirement baseline need to be identified and resolved Ensure that the INR processing functionality, including INR testing functionality, which is developed as part of the mission data processing is consistent with the EPSSG System architecture and able to meet the EPSSG requirements on geometric quality and performance. Inconsistencies and noncompliances must be flagged and mitigation measures proposed Establish and implement a model of the EPSSG INR System architecture, including of the INR estimation process, which allows verification and benchmarking of the INR approach selected for the instrument mission data processing Develop, maintain, and procure a INR related test tools and software including INR reference processor software and b INR related test datasets that are necessary for the testing and verification of the EPSSG requirements baseline Ensure a proper knowledge transfer of all INR aspects from industry to EUMETSAT is implemented in order to ensure longterm maintainability of the preoperational or operational software Define, develop and maintain INR related processing functionality requirements and specifications. Monitor the evolution of the requirements and the applicability of their versions to developed or procured items Prepare documents to support tender actions in the area of INR data processing, and, potentially, evaluate responses to them Support studies and Instrument Functional Chain Team IFCT activities in the area of INR and geometrical processing Monitor and support INR aspects during the GS development, including contribute to reviews, verification, and testing against appropriate versions of requirements and monitoring and advising on the resolution of deviations Support system engineering activities related to INR, including reviews, working with the EPSSG System and EPSSG Ground Segment teams, and the EPSSG Science team Support interactions related to INR with the Space Segment, including supporting the review, andor analysis, of INRrelated documentation Any other tasks deemed appropriate by the technical officer in support of the overall aim of the tasks above. Qualifications and Requirements Applicants require a University degree in a relevant discipline such as aerospace engineering, physics or remote sensing, and a minimum of five years experience in system design, specifications and implementation of INR processors andor simulators andor mathematical models for both imager and sounder instruments including the development of INR software for operational processing of satellite meteorological data in UNIX environments. Essential Expert level on Image Navigation and Registration INR methodologies and techniques, including observable processing, LineofSight LOS modelling, geolocation, and state vector estimation for threeaxis stabilised satellites preferably in low Earth orbit Specification, development, and testing of INR processor software for threeaxis stabilised platforms Integration, Verification and Validation of INR processing subsystems for satellite meteorological or remote sensing data Proficiency in a highlevel programming language e.g. CC suitable for the implementation of prototype and operational INR processor software Relevant experiences with characterisation and modelling of space segment elements related to INR e.g. scan mirror and line of sight models experience with threeaxis stabilised is considered a clear advantage Familiarity with mission data processing of satelliteborne instruments knowledge of EPS and EPSSG instrument being an advantage, in particular in relation to INR, geolocation, and geometrical processing Desirable Processes, phases and documentation related to the development of operational data processing systems in the field of Earth Observations Specification and maintenance of processing requirements and related tools e.g. IBM DOORs Global standards for data, e.g. NetCDF4 or HDF5 ECSS standards The ability to perform under high workloads A high degree of autonomy and good analytical skills Very good communication, presentation and listening skills.
