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. Aerosol Product Development Support 1513100 Job Description We are looking for Aerosol Product Development Support for our client EUMETSAT. You will support the development of aerosol optical and microphysical products from instruments on the EUMETSAT Polar System series of satellites, with a particular focus on multisensor products. Your tasks will include development of algorithms for aerosol products from instruments on the Metop series of satellites with a particular focus on multiinstrument aerosol products, drawing on the science of current established products from hyperspectral infrared and UVVisible sounders and multichannel imagers PMAp evaluation and refinement of aerosol algorithms for the current MSG SEVIRI instrument taking into account the constraints imposed by the final goal of implementation of the products within an operational processing system development of prototype software code for the purposes of testing and validating the algorithms developed generation of test data required for the verification of the algorithm and products validation of the products produced by the prototype software code using independent data generation of associated documentation including test data descriptions, Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents ATBD, Product User Guides, Calibration and Validation Plan, Validation reports, etc provision of support for implementation and validation of the products within the operational processing environment interfacing with experts across EUMETSAT as needed collaboration with expert groups and the wider scientific community outside EUMETSAT as appropriate provision of support for algorithm development and potentially prototype software development for future polar orbiting missions including next generation hyperspectral infrared and UVVisible sounders and multichannel imaging instruments with improved potential for deriving aerosol products. Required Skills and Experience You shall have a University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline Minimum of 5 years experience in the field of remote sensing product development including at least 2 years of aerosol product development. Specifically you shall have experience in aerosol optical and microphysical properties retrieval from satellite data inverse modelling of atmospheric composition using infrared and UVVIS vector radiative transfer models calibration and validation of satellite data products the EPS missions and instruments writing concise and comprehensive scientific and technical reports in English demonstrated skills in a higher programming language, preferably in C specification, design and coding of complex product processors testing and verification of complex data processing systems. Desirable Skills and Experience familiarity with the retrieval of aerosol optical and microphysical properties from hyperspectral infrared satellite data familiarity with aerosol retrieval algorithm from geostationary satellites e.g. from SEVIRI quality control of satellite data and products operational product processing environments software build environments and tools e.g. make, imake, eclipse, insure source code control system, e.g. Subversion or CVS.
