System Engineer for EPS SG Instrument Functional Chain

We are looking to strengthen our service team at EUMETSAT with a qualified engineer to support instrument and data processing chains across satellite-based Earth observation missions.

Key Responsibilities

• Consolidate the development logic for instrument chains, including processing specifications and associated schedule compilation.
• Define and review instrument data processing specifications (e.g., algorithms, auxiliary, and product formats).
• Support the development, testing, and review of instrument data processing systems, test tools, and test data.
• Execute product verification and review processor designs against appropriate requirements and specifications.
• Lead verification, integration, and acceptance activities for instrument data processing elements.
• Maintain the product dissemination baseline across operational environments.
• Participate in reviews and technical meetings at system, satellite, instrument, and ground segment levels.
• Interface with space segment teams and analyze instrument-related documentation for data processing needs.
• Collaborate closely with EUMETSAT science, instrument, and ground segment teams, as well as engineers at partner agencies.

Essential Skills and Qualifications

• University degree in Aerospace Engineering, Remote Sensing, Physics, Computer Science, or another relevant technical discipline.
• Proven track record in system engineering for satellite-based Earth observation systems, focusing on payloads and ground segment systems.
• Direct involvement in developing, verifying, integrating, and testing instrument data processing chains, algorithms, and product formats.
• Solid understanding of end-to-end data flows, space-to-ground interfaces, and instrument chain development logic.
• Excellent English skills (written and spoken) with the ability to coordinate effectively across multidisciplinary teams and international partner agencies.
