We are looking for an System Engineer with experience performing top down analyses of EndtoEnd Instrument Chains combined space and ground segment and performing syntheses and compiling technical budgets bottom up for EPSSG type of instruments sounders and imagers from the ultraviolet to the microwave range, a scatterometer and a radiooccultation instrument. The System Engineer will support overall System aspects for EPSSG endtoend instrument chains, i.e. involving the space segment satellites as well as the ground segment data acquisition systems, monitoring and control systems, data processing facilities and product dissemination facilities. This position is fulltime and unlimited, fully located on customer side EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany. Application deadline for this position is 19th of October 2015. Earliest possible starting date will be November latest will be January 2016. RESPONSIBILITIESDUTIES Mission performances Identification of contributors to performances radiometric spectral geometric allocation apportionment to elements of the instrument chains. Definition of approach for performance modelling review of adequacy of related modelling tools. Compilation and analysis of endtoend performance budgets, as needed collecting input from space and ground segment studies cross check against applicable requirements. Processing chains Definition of overall approach for the development, verification and validation VV of the processing chains as part of the overall EPSSG System. Identification of implications of processing concepts for System ground segment requirements, architecture and design. Identification of required tools and test data for the development and VV of the processing chains as relevant generation of technical documents to support tool development procurement. Support for the development of relevant tools and the generation of required test data sets. Following up of validation of processing algorithms and of verification of processing chains in the ground segment as relevant for System VV of the endtoend instrument chains. Instrument calibration product validation Analysis of the implications of instrument calibration concepts for the System and ground segment and specifically for onground data processing. Support for the definition of the required infrastructure to perform tuning maintenance of calibration data and to validate generated products. In addition the keyperson will be involved in some more general tasks Regular review of System level documentation dealing with requirements, system concepts, architecture and design, technical analyses, to identify information of importance for endtoend instrument chains. In addition, and with the same aim, analysis of documents provided by other teams in EUMETSAT and by external partners.
