About us SCISYS Deutschland GmbH provides professional engineering and consultancy services supporting space programmes and missions. We have a strong presence at ESOC and EUMETSAT, as well as serving all ESA sites and spacecraft primes. Our team is composed of university graduates and experienced professionals, comprising some of the most knowledgeable, dedicated and talented engineers across Europe. Our services cover the whole life cycle of space programmes from early concepts to operations. Our Space Division provides a dynamic, supportive and friendly atmosphere in which you are encouraged to lead with initiative. We support new ideas from our colleagues and are focused on innovation. Moreover, we actively manage your professional development, training and career progression. For the location in Darmstadt Germany we are looking for a Data Processing Systems Applications Support at EUMETSAT. Tasks The Technical Scientific Support TSS Department and in particular the System Engineering and Projects SEP Division provides support to the development of new programmes and to the maintenance and engineering of evolutions of the operational ground segments. In this context, support is provided to the development of the Ground Segment for MTG Meteosat Third Generation, GMES Global Monitoring for Environment Security Sentinel3, Jason CS, EPS SG EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation, which will ensure continuity of service to the current operational programmes MSG and EPS at the end of their life. The consultant will provide engineering support to the EPSSG Ground Segment Dataprocessing 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. 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 evolution of the EUMETSAT infrastructure Essential requirements 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 of, information presented in written and oral communications in a dynamic context. Willingness to work within a multidisciplinary context in cooperation with other teams. The ability to maintain a system overview is essential. They shall have a systematic approach to work, be able to plan their work and to cope with tight schedules and multiple tasks. They shall have the capability to write accurate and consistent technical documentation. It would be considered an advantage to have experience of the following Knowledge of the IBM DOORS tool or an equivalent for requirements management Knowledge of ECSS and CCSDS standards.
