This vacancy note concerns an onsite consulting position at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, Germany. Data Processing Supporting Applications Engineer 1613126 Job Description We are looking for a Data Processing Supporting Applications Engineer to support our client EUMETSAT at their headquarters in Darmstadt. You will be a member of the Data Processing System Applications and Tools Group within the System Engineering and Projects Division and in particular the Supporting Applications Engineering team, a multidisciplinary engineering team supporting operational and future programmes. A core activity will be related to the definition of applications in the area of MONA, a Multi Mission Element framework aimed to provide a portfolio of Analysis, Monitoring and Reporting tools built to support the Quality Analysis and Monitoring of Spacecraft Telemetry, Instruments parameters, level 0 and High Level Production essential parameters for operational and new programmes. Moreover you will be expected to support the Operational department in the frame of maintenance and evolution of LEOGEO data and product processing systems. The EPS Ground Segment monitors and controls EUMETSATs LEO METOP satellites and processes all data from its instrument payload, the GEO MSG and MTP Ground Segments monitor and control the Meteosat satellites and processes all data from its instruments and the Jason 2 and Jason 3 ground segment process all data from the instruments onboard of Jason satellites. You shall provide engineering support to design and system engineeringreengineering activities, fully system lifecycle, in the area of the Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Multi Mission Element framework, named MME MONA, which consists in a portfolio of offline Ground Segment elements, specifically for the Long Trend Analysis, Quality Monitoring and Reporting aimed to support the operational activities of existing and future programmes. Candidate areas are programmes such as, EPS, MSG, MTG, EPSSG, JasonCS, Sentinel 3. You shall be requested to 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, IDL and Python. Your 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. You will be the focal point when it comes to integrating each individual Facility 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.
