With 1.700 employees worldwide, the CS Group is a leading IT company in France and in Germany, and a prime contractor in designing, integrating and operating mission critical systems. It has now been over 30 years that comprehensive CS solutions for space systems and applications, both on the ground and in space, have been part and parcel of this odyssey. You will be a member of a multidisciplinary system engineering team interacting with operational programmes and future programmes engineering teams. Within the Technical and Scientific Support TSS Department, the System Engineering and Projects Division SEP has the mission to provide coherent and costeffective engineering support to the development and operations of EUMETSAT ground segments, and to deliver delegated development and evolution projects to the Programmes Development and Operations Departments. The Reference Architecture for EUMETSAT Ground Segments provides a high level notional architecture for EUMETSAT ground systems, defining its functions, components requirements and capabilities and interfaces applying a modelbased systems engineering approach. The Reference Architecture is the result of a systematic and structured analysis of existing operational systems identifying those common function needed also for future programs in the form of crossprogrammes components as part of a designed architecture with an aim at establishing welldefined interfaces. TASKS Modelling of ground segment subsystems, addressing functional, behavioural and interface aspects Refactoring of the architectural design of existing systems within the context defined for the Reference Ground Segment Support the consolidation and evolution of the Reference Architecture Definition of requirements for the components of the architecture. For doing this, the applicant shall make use of ModelBased Systems Engineering approaches and tools to document the work done and describe the architecture of the system components. The MBSE tool available at EUMETSAT in support of functional analysis and decomposition of the system is CORE 9 from Vitech. The applicant will perform system engineering activities such as Requirements engineering, which consists in requirement analysis and validation, requirement allocation, and requirements maintenance Functional analysis and architecture design applying system modelling engineering methods and techniques Subsegment components specification Interface and data structures and flows definition Design which results in an architecture, described by its complete functional, physical and software characteristics System analysis, which is performed for the purpose of resolving requirements conflicts, decomposing and allocating requirements, assessing system effectiveness Performance of trade studies for assessing effectiveness, risk, cost and planning. The applicant is expected to perform the following specific tasks 1. Build models of Subsystem of the RA Ground Segment, capturing their requirements, describing the internal architecture and defining their external interfaces 2. Support the generation, review and maintenance of the documentation of the RA Subsystems addressing their architecture, functions, requirements and interfaces 3. Support the management of the requirements of the RA subsystem and Components, heeding on the evolution of the operational system and future systems, using DOORS 4. Categorise and link relevant Subsystem and Component requirements to the model for traceability 5. Refine the processes and working practices established for the application of the Model Based SE and the use of CORE 6. Support the administration, configuration, deployment and use of CORE licenses. PROFILE Essential requirements The applicant shall have a university degree or equivalent in an engineering discipline relevant to the job profile together with the experience and capability to fulfil the assigned tasks with a minimum of supervision. Knowledge and experience with the following is considered essential Extensive experience in the analysis of systems applications and modelling At least 5 years demonstrated experience in the field of systems engineering and architectural design Space and Ground System engineering processes, and System and Software lifecycles and standards. Experience in Model Based Systems Engineering methods, techniques and tools Experience in the use of modelling and design tools in support of architectural design activities e.g. CORE Definition, management and traceability of requirements structure with the support of dedicated tools e.g. DOORS. Desirable requirements Previous working experience in system engineering aspects of SystemGround Systems for MeteorologicalEarth Observation Satellites would be an advantage. Experience in evolution management andor product line management of assets shared across organisational parts is desirable. The applicant shall be able to fulfil the assigned tasks with a minimum of supervision, have a systematic approach to work, be able to plan hisher work and to cope with tight schedules and multiple parallel tasks. Heshe shall have the capability to write accurate and consistent technical documentation. Good communications skills verbal and written are important. Heshe shall be willing to work in a team of engineers and in cooperation with industry and partner agencies. Due to the nature of the position, the Key person shall have good interpersonal skills and proactive attitude with strong ability to work effectively in a diverse team environment. The variety of the tasks and the scope of the systems to be supported require a high degree of autonomy and good analytical skills together with the ability to effectively cooperate within the team and with internal customers. The working language for the position is English and therefore the key person must be able to work effectively in this language and have a basic knowledge of the other, together with good communication skills. How to apply Please consider the following points before applying Please submit your complete application documents in English. An attached cover letter should mention your availability and salary expectations. Interested applicants should submit their CV to marina.ludwigcssystems.de with CC to francoisxavier.laffontcs.fr with the job title. Due to new work permit restrictions for this position, please apply only if you are citizen of a European Union state or if you hold all appropriate documentation and permits to work in Europe.
