Sercos space heritage over the last 40 years has placed us in the Space News Top 50 Space Industry Manufacturing and Services Companies. With over 1500 staff in the space business covering a wide spectrum of experience and skills, we convey best practice, expertise and innovation in our business. All members of our recruitment team have extensive space experience, so have the insight necessary to support you through the application process. For our activities in EUMETSAT, we are currently looking for an Atmospheric Motion Vector Image Processing Software Engineer. The engineer shall work in the Remote Sensing and Products Division RSP, supporting the routine operations of the MSG Meteorological Product Extraction Facility MPEF. In this facility, geophysical products level 2 , such as cloud, wind and radiance products, are produced operationally from METEOSAT data. These products are continuously generated and disseminated in near real time to the user community. The Key person will be involved in the implementation of updates to product algorithms of the MSG MPEF, as well as in developing supporting software tools as required. The key person shall be primarily responsible for the software that generates the MTP and MSG MPEF Atmospheric Motion Vector AMV products. This responsibility will in general include anomaly investigation and correction, algorithm enhancements and tuning, and collaborating with the operations engineers responsible for daytoday monitoring of the performance of the AMV product. Future activities will include improvements to algorithm performance, algorithm scalability, etc., based on the medium term product plans on improving MPEF for MTP and MSG and the preparation of the AMV algorithm for MTG. The last task will specifically include support to a prototype processor for MTG. Another wind product is generated from the EPS Metop satellites Polar Wind Product, where the Key person shall provide support in the area of product monitoring and algorithm updates. Within RSP, the key person will work in the team of the Atmospheric and Imaging Applications AIA in the group responsible for the scientific product development and implementation. The tasks of the Key person will typically include Algorithm software anomaly investigation and correction Design and implementation of algorithm enhancements or improvements Software feasibility analyses of proposed new product algorithms, or major algorithm upgrades Development of tools in support of product monitoring and product analysis, for example as part of MSG MPEF product validation testing Preparation of technical documents on product implementation issues Preparation of technical notes and reports as required Attendance at technical and RSPAIA team meetings as required The focus of these tasks will primarily be on the AMV products extracted from both geostationary and polar orbit systems however, there may tasks related to other products for which the work of the key person may be partially allocated. SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE In addition to having a University degree or comparable qualifications in Meteorology, Atmospheric Physics or related subjects, the Key person shall have a minimum of three years experience of processing satellite or meteorological data. Specifically the Key person shall have Proven experience in the design, implementation, and testing of complex scientific algorithm software Proven experience of software development in C and Fortran in a UNIX environment Proven experience in software development using data visualisation and analysis tools e.g. IDL Experience in configuration control of software and data Sound knowledge and experience in the area of Atmospheric Motion Vectors extraction from satellite imagery, or experience with image processing algorithms in the area of feature identification and tracking would be a distinct advantage. Another distinct advantage would be experience in operational data processing. The Key person shall be able to conduct all activities in an orderly and disciplined manner, shall be able to work calmly and correctly under stress, and must be able to work with the minimum of supervision. The Key person shall possess good interpersonal skills. The official languages of EUMETSAT are English and French.
