Solenix is specialized in the provision of highquality software engineering, technical consulting and operations services in the aerospace domain. This vacancy note concerns an onsite consulting position at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, Germany. EPSSG Image Navigation and Registration Support 1313031 Job Description The consultant will be integrated into the INR and Calibration Section, which provides support for the EPSSG Programme in the area of INR and geometrical processing. Primarily the activities have the objective to establish and maintain the knowledge needed to support the INR processing as part of the mission data processing functionality both for online and offline functions. In addition, the consultant will support and contribute to the review and refinement of the INR architecture at EPSSG System level. In particular the tasks may include 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 by industrial contractors 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. 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 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 In the performance of these tasks, the consultant shall comply with the applicable rules of EUMETSAT, the applicable organisational and divisional management standards, and also with the relevant working practices and procedures as well as the organisational and divisional documentation management procedures. Required Skills and Experience University degree in a relevant discipline such as aerospace engineering, physics or remote sensing 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 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 Ability to work effectively in English Desirable Skills and Experience 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 Knowledge of French would be considered an advantage Work Location Darmstadt, Germany Dates Application Deadline 20 May 2013 Start of Work 01 August 2013 Important Notes Before applying to this position, please read the page Notes to Applicants on the Solenix website under Career.
