With 1.700 employees worldwide, the CS Group is a leading IT company in France and in Germany, and a prime contractor in designing, integrating and operating mission critical systems. It has now been over 30 years that comprehensive CS solutions for space systems and applications, both on the ground and in space, have been part and parcel of this odyssey. Our German activities grow at fast pace and to face our costumers high level expectations and needs, we are looking for talented profiles having relevant experience in Space systems and applications. The engineer gives support to the Data Processing Systems and Applications Group of the SEP Division to assist in the specification, preliminary design, procurement, integration, testing and transfer to operations of Data Processing elements for future programmes under development and the maintenance and evolution of data processing systems and applications for existing programmes. Support is envisaged in the context of EPSSG and EPS but the key person may be also assigned to similar tasks in the context of other programmes Ground Segment data processing elements cover the complete data processing chain for all mission instruments, from demodulation and frontend processing of data received from the satellites to generation of Level 1 and Level 2 products via dedicated instrument data processors and their distribution to other Ground Segment elements for archiving and dissemination. This also includes the processing infrastructure required for hosting, coordinating, monitoring and controlling the Level 1 and Level 2 instrument data processors. TASKS The consultant will provide engineering support to the EPSSG Ground Segment Data processing team in the frame of the EPSSG Preparatory Programme Phase B as well as to the Operations department in the frame of maintenance and evolution of the EPS data processing systems. The Consultant will support activities related to initially Phase B followed by phases CD of the EPSSG Programme in the area of data processing engineering. In this context attention is drawn to the mandatory nature of the programme. In the detail, support will be provided for the following tasks In Phase B Requirements engineering in DOORS for EPSSG data processing requirements. This includes review, specification and refinement of existing requirements, their uptraces to parent Ground Segment specifications, justifications and verification methods Ensure coherency of requirements with algorithms specifications Definition of ICDs between data processing elements and other GS functions Definition of Testing and Operational scenarios for data processing elements Definition of data processing concepts and tradeoffs to support requirements understanding and justification. In Phase CD Support the procurement of data processing elements by advising on technical solutions proposed by the contractor and by reviewing documentation to confirm its compliance with the requirements Support management of the requirements baseline for data processing elements Support refinement of ICDs Support testing, integration and acceptance of data processing elements. In Phase E Support to maintenance activities, including characterisation of system component behaviour against required performance, proposal and implementation of system alterations including component modification to achieve required performance. Support to evolution activities, including conceptual design, requirements specification, functional modelling, system analysis, and concept development to support increased performance, rationalisation of components, and cost reduction. In addition, there will be regular involvement in the following tasks requiring interaction and coordination with other teams at System and Ground Segment level Review of System, Space Segment and Ground Segment documentation dealing with requirements, concepts, algorithms and technical analyses of relevance for data processing, including review of instrument data processing algorithms and calibration concepts defined by the Space Segment with emphasis on their implications on Ground Segment data processing concepts, interfaces and architecture Participation in formal reviews and technical meetings at System and Ground Segment level. Review of documentation dealing with technical evolutions of the EUMETSAT infrastructure The performance of these tasks shall comply with the EUMETSAT organisational and divisional rules, management standards and working practices. The set of applicable rules and working practices will be made available at start of the duties in EUMETSAT. PROFILE In addition to having a University degree or equivalent, including experience in the engineering, physics, or software or similar domains the key persons shall have the following mandatory attributes, skills, and experience. Relevant experience in preparation of requirements, design, interfaces and testing documentation for data processing systems for Earth Observation missions experience on data processing for high data rates missions will be considered an asset. Relevant experience with L1L2 processing software for Earth Observation missions, either for operationsmaintenance or specification and development. Knowledge of the requirements engineering process, including relation between requirements, ICDs, design and testing documentation. Ability to learn and develop the needed skills and knowledge to contribute to the development of EPSSG. This includes the ability to rapidly absorb, and make use ofinformation presented in written and oral communications in a dynamic context. Previous experience and knowledge in any of the following areas will be considered an additional asset knowledge of the IBM DOORS tool or an equivalent for requirements management Knowledge of ECSS and CCSDS standards. The official languages of EUMETSAT are English and French. The working language for the position is English and therefore the keyperson must be able to work effectively in this language. How to apply Please consider the following points before applying Please submit your complete application documents in English. An attached cover letter should mention your availability and salary expectations.
