Position Reference 864 We are currently looking for an Atmospheric Aerosol Product Development Scientist to support our team, and specifically in the development of the new mission CO2M. This role will be based in our clients premises in the city of Darmstadt, Germany. Summary Project consist in conducting activities for the development and maintenance of prototypes devoted to atmospheric products and specifically on Copernicus Carbon Dioxide Monitoring mission, on the MAP polarimeter, and for the generation of test data sets for the need of the program developments. Tasks and Activities The scope of work will include Contribution to the scientific definition of the aerosol algorithm and product Contribute to the definition of the Calibration Validation plan. Support the development of Level1 prototype, and level2 Aerosol prototype. Support instrument performance definition and assessment. TDS generation for the need of consolidation of mission requirements and prototypes. Participate to RSP studies and progress meetings through review of scientific content. Update, maintenance and verification of an operational processor for multisensor satellite retrievals of aerosol optical properties from Metop data. Supporting the validation of aerosol products from EPS and the compilation of the relevant product validation reports. Contributing to the update of the product specification and algorithm specification for multisensor satellite retrievals of aerosol optical properties from Metop. Reporting anomalies in aerosol product services, contribute to their diagnosis and track their resolution. Skills and Experience The following skills and experience are mandatory University degree Master or Phd in a relevant discipline. Demonstrated skills in Java programming, or on another programming language e.g. C, Fortran. Experience or contribution to an EO or atmospheric monitoring scientific study. Experience of operational satellite data processing systems. Experience on the visualisation of remote sensing data using specific tools or programming languages Python, IDL. Excellent interpersonal and teamworking skills. Communication skills, especially through scientific peerreview papers, international working groups and workshops. Fluency in English, both written and spoken. The following skills are considered as interesting assets Previous experience on CO2M mission, and specifically on MAP polarimeter. Demonstrated knowledge of physics of optical remote sensing of atmosphere, especially for cloud andor aerosol properties, including experience in the use of radiative transfer models. Experience with the development of modular, clearly readable and adaptable scientific software is required, including the configuration control of the developed codes. Experience in scientific analysis, especially on remote sensing of cloud or atmosphere from space, including the experience of prototyping algorithms or any related testing functions. Knowledge of the most relevant imagery missions for atmospheric products, including their products, and applications. Experience on the maintenance of processors in the context of operational missions. Knowledge on instrument calibration and characterisation including longterm monitoring and validation of the performance. Knowledge of the functioning, operation, and data processing of multiviewing, multipolarisation, multispectral imaging instruments, or any similar polarimetric mission. Experience on the validation of aerosol parameters derived from spaceborne sensors through insitu measurements and crosscomparisons. Experience on polarimetry for aerosol retrieval or the level1 processing of polarimeter including calibration. How to Apply Looking to take your career to the next level?
