TASKS The activities for the selected consultant will be related to overall System aspects for endto end instrument functional chains, i.e. involving the space segment satellites as well as the ground segment, the latter consisting of the data acquisition systems, monitoring and control systems, data processing chains and product dissemination facilities. The consultant will be part of our client EPSSG System team and provide support for tasks related to mission performance allocations and budgeting, definition and specification of scientific algorithms for geolocation, radiometric correction and spectral calibration, definition of the approach for instrument calibration and product validation, specification of enduser products for imaging and sounding instruments. A major part of the work to be undertaken by the consultant will be to follow up and assess the outcome of the ongoing activities done by different groups in the EPSSG team EPSSG system team, EPSSG instrument team, EPSSG science team and EPSSG ground segment team, and ensure that all the inter disciplinary activities are done in a systematic way, compatible with the EPSSG programme objectives and constraints. Typical activities to be undertaken by the consultant are Contribute to the consolidation and maintenance of the system requirements relevant for the development of the EPSSG enduser products Confirm that the operational processors which are developed as part of the EPSSG ground segment are able to meet the performance requirements defined Support validation of products and verification of processing algorithms Review and contribute to the preparation of algorithms specifications and product specifications to confirm and ensure their consistency with the System requirements and design documents Review space segment and instrument documents to identify implications for the processing specifications of the operational processors Support regular reviews of System, Space Segment and Ground Segment documentation relevant for EPSSG data processing chains Participate in formal reviews and technical meetings at system and ground segment level Support preparation of documentation for System level reviews Support coordination of interdisciplinary meetings relevant for data processing chains Support studies internal or external and evaluate their results when relevant for data processing chains, including specification and validation of algorithms. PROFILE The consultant shall have University degree in the domain of engineering, science, or equivalent Direct involvement in the following areas, with at least 3 years of combined experience o Specification of level 1 algorithms for geolocation, spectral and radiometric correction and calibration and of level 2 geophysical algorithms, for spaceborne observation systems as imaging andor sounding instruments o Mission performance analysis, budgeting and verification for spaceborne observing systems as imaging andor sounding instruments. Good command of English language is mandatory. The following experience would be an additional asset Knowledge of relevant spaceborne observation instruments EPSSG satellites will embark sounders and imagers from the ultraviolet to the microwave range, a scatterometer and a radiooccultation instrument. The consultant shall be able to fulfil the assigned tasks with a minimum of supervision, have a systematic approach to work, be able to plan hisher work and to cope with tight schedules and multiple tasks. Heshe shall have the capability to write accurate and consistent technical documentation. Good communication skills verbal and written are important.
