Dear Sir or Madam, We are currently in search of support for the following project. This position is available on a permanent basis POSITION ID 2104 ROLE FUNCTION Applications Engineering Support mw in DarmstadtGermany GENERAL CONDITIONS START 01 June 2014 PERIOD 2 years 2 options for extension, each option stands for 1 year LOCATION Darmstadt TYPE OF BUSINESS Science CONTRACT fulltime employment WORKING LANGUAGE English, French is considered an advantage DEADLINE 23.4.2014 MUSTHAVE SKILLS MANDATORY In addition to having a University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, the Key Person shall have experience in system design, SW development, operation, maintenance and trouble shooting of large complex realtime data processing systems for meteorological satellites. The Key Person should possess very good communication, presentation and team working skills and be able to cope with very high workloads. An ability to adapt to a rapidly changing, often stressful environment and retain a system overview is also essential. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the following areas is mandatory Experience of operating and maintaining software systems in a UNIX based environment specifically LINUX and AIX CC programming language experience in a UNIX based environment Use of and application programming of database systems in particular ORACLE, INFORMIX, PostgreSQL and MySQL Competence in the use of scripting languages e.g., shell scripting and highlevel languages e.g., Python, Java Knowledge of web technologies, programming and markup languages e.g. Apache, CGI, JavaScript, UML Competence in SW testing, unit test suite maintenance, automated testing, verification and validation. NICETOHAVE SKILLS CONSIDERED AS AN ADVANTAGE Experience in system design for quality control and calval systems Experience with operational Earth Observation science data processing Data visualisation tools, e.g. IDL, ENVI Familiarity with data formats used for meteorological satellite products Experience in using Python libraries and tools, such as Matplotlib, NumPy, Django and accessing sql databases from Python Knowledge of relevant Standards, Quality Assurance and Configuration Management principles and applications Very good technical writing skills, in particular in the area of formal technical documentation, e.g. design documentation, test procedures, maintenance procedures Competence in the exploitation of modern hardware and operating systems at the application level e.g., multithreading, parallel programming e.g. MPI, OpenMP, virtualization Competence in objectoriented software design and implementation in the context of satellite instrument data processing systems. TASKS As a member of the SEP Data Processing System Applications and Tools Group and in particular the Supporting Applications Engineering team, the Key Person shall support the maintenance and evolution of off line Ground Segment elements, specifically for quality control, calibration and validation, data visualisation and auxiliary data management and services. The application software is mainly developed in CC, PERL, and Python. For data visualisation a good knowledge in IDL and ENVI is required. The Key Persons duties will include a range of tasks, from the support of the day to day operation and maintenance, the analysis, design, development and testing of the facilities which also includes the handling of anomalies, upgrades and configuration changes for these facilities. The Key Person will be the focal point when it comes to integrating each individual Facilities into a system context, covering all aspects from early SW development, definition of interfaces, system integration and testing, and end to end testing of the production system. Tasks will also contain the settingup and implementation of maintenance policies and procedures as well as the coordination with external providers of maintenance services. In support to operations, the Key Person may also be required to provide on call support as part of a team of maintenance engineers. Besides the above described routine tasks, the Key Person will also be expected to contribute to design and system engineeringreengineering activities in the area of expertise for existing and future production systems. Candidate areas are programmes such as, MTG, EPSSG, Jason, Saral, EARS, Sentinel 3, etc. Contribute to the definition, design, implementation and maintenance of architectures for data processing ground segments and their components with special emphasis on product quality control, calibration and validation, production monitoring and reporting. Support the operations of existing data processing ground segments and their maintenance and evolution. This will also include Upgrade software, including implementing and maintaining new algorithms for product quality control and calibrationvalidation activities. Perform routine tasks in operational systems under configuration control such as Support the Configuration Management process and the building and distribution of software releases and patches Support to the development, integration and configuration management of software developed by third parties, its installation, and configuration and testing Anomaly investigations, documentation and classification. Follow up of the delivery of SW resolutions for these anomalies Perform standard SW engineering activities such as SW testing in a structured approach to verify that delivered SW is fulfilling the requirements or to demonstrate that problems have been corrected. SW integration and verification in the Client ground segments Settingup and implementation of maintenance policies and procedures, Support to the procurement and installation of software, and the coordination with external providers of support services Participation in meetings and formal reviews.
