Come and manage the next generation of satellite instruments for meteorological applications We are developing the second generation of operational polar weather satellites and instruments for earth observations, that will constitute the new reference for numerical whether prediction and climate monitoring for at least the next 2030 years. We are looking for an Engineer to provide technical management support for space borne instrument development activities covering from phase C up to launch and commissioning. These instruments are developed in cooperation with our partners ESA, CNES and DLR and will constitute the heart of a much wider global system, called the EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation EPSSG. The first satellite is due for launch in 2022 followed by five further launches, spaced in time to ensure continuity for more than 20 years. This is the opportunity to be part of one of the most important space projects in Europe for weather and climate forecasting. Why EUMETSAT?
