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. Our German activities grow at fast pace and to face our costumers high level expectations and needs, we are looking for talented profiles having relevant experience in Space systems. Regarding the Ground Segment, EUMETSAT will develop and procure a dedicated Ground Segment while capitalising on existing technology and infrastructure elements that are already in operation in the Headquarters as well as on the Satellite Application Facilities SAF Network, taking into account the lessons learnt from previous programmes. EPSSG will be based on a twosatellite configuration with the launch of the first satellite MetopSG A in mid2021 followed by the second satellite MetopSG B 18 months later. Two recurrent Metop SG A and B satellites will be provided and launched in order to achieve a minimum of 21 years of operations. Regarding the Space Segment, EUMETSAT will rely on cooperation with ESA for the development of the satellite Metop Second Generation, MetopSG and of a subset of the instruments. EUMETSAT will also cooperate with other Partners for the acquisition of the other instruments including the METimage DLR, IASING CNES and ARGOS CNES. Regarding the Ground Segment, EUMETSAT will develop and procure a dedicated Ground Segment while capitalising on existing technology and infrastructure elements that are already in operation in the Headquarters as well as on the Satellite Application Facilities SAF Network, taking into account the lessons learnt from previous programmes. EPSSG will be the second generation of EUMETSATs polar system and as such will have a strong heritage from the existing EPS with its Metop satellites and operations, and from other elements of the EUMETSAT infrastructure in support of current programmes. PROFILE The engineer shall have the following experience and background University degree in the domain of engineering, science, or equivalent At least 3 years of experience in engineering of onground data processing elements for spaceborne observing imaging andor sounding systems. The following experience would be an additional asset Experience in development of test data sets and processor prototypes Knowledge of relevant spaceborne observation instruments EPSSG satellites will embark sounders and imagers from the ultraviolet to the microwave range, a scatterometer and a radiooccultation instrument Experience in specification of operational products for earth observation missions. The engineer 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 cope with tight schedules and multiple tasks.
