One of our space clients in Germany are looking for an EPSSG EndtoEnd Instrument Chains Performance Engineer to provide support in the area of system and mission performance spectral, radiometric and geometric engineering. The activities for the selected keyperson will be related to overall system aspects for endtoend instrument chains, i.e. involving the space segment platform and instruments as well as the ground segment. The role would ideally suit a contractor looking for a long term consultancy role within the space industry. The submission deadline for applicants is 1st December 2015. Tasks Followingup performance requirements, allocation and budgeting performed by space segment and instrument providers. Followingup and reviewing definition of approach for modelling of system performances, space segment andor instrument providers review of adequacy of related performance modelling tools. Contributing to the preparation and analysis of the system performance budgets, collecting input from space segment, instruments and ground processing segment reporting any noncompliances and following up resolution. Contributing to the consolidation and maintenance of the system requirements, including tracing to space segment, instrument andor ground segment requirements and tracking of the status of compliance reporting any noncompliances and follow up resolution. Supporting the consolidation of the verification approach for system performance requirements and contributing to the maintenance of the related verification matrix. Contributing to the assessment of the ground data processing algorithms and CalVal algorithms developed as part of the EPSSG ground segment and confirm that they allow meeting the System Performance Requirements spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements. reporting any noncompliance and follow up resolution. Supporting the validation of products and the verification of ground data processing algorithms. Contributing to regular reviews of System, Space Segment, Instrument and Ground Segment documentation. Participate in formal reviews and technical meetings at system, space segment, instrument and ground segment level. Providing input for support preparation of documentation for System level reviews.
