LSE Space is looking for an experienced Engineer mf in order to fulfill the duty of EPSSG EndtoEnd Instrument Processing Chains System Performance Engineer for our customer EUMETSAT in DarmstadtGermany. The primary responsibilities of this role will be Development of the algorithms specifications Algorithms Theoretical Baseline Document ATBD, Detailed Processing Model DPM and processing specifications Product Generation Specifications PGSs, Product Format Specifications PFSs and Auxiliary Data Specifications ADS Development of reference processors that implement the functionalities defined in the processing and algorithms specifications, including verification of the EndtoEnd E2E performance requirements spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements Development of the operational processors with emphasis on the implementation of the processing algorithms and their compatibility with EndtoEnd E2E performance requirements spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements Preparation of Instrument CalibrationValidation plans, including the definition of the approach for validation of the Level 1 and Level 2 products and of any related algorithms Development of the calibration, validation and offline monitoring facilities EndtoEnd E2E performance requirement spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements allocation and budgeting performed by space segment and instrument providers, specifically when dealing with processing algorithms. Typical activities to be undertaken by the consultant are Contribute to the consolidation and maintenance of the system requirements relevant for the development of the EPSSG enduser products, including tracing to enduser requirements and tracking of the status of compliance any incompatibilities to the EPSSG System requirement baseline need to be identified and resolved Confirm that the operational processors which are developed as part of the EPSSG ground segment are able to meet the EPSSG E2E performance requirements spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements any inconsistencies and noncompliances need to be identified and resolved Support validation of products and verification of processing algorithms, specifically the cross comparison of products generated by the operational processors against output of reference processors Review and contribute to the preparation of algorithms specifications and product specifications to confirm and ensure their consistency with the System requirements and design documents Review space segment and instrument documents e.g. ATBD, DPM, Instrument Calibration and Characterization Specification to identify implications for the processing specifications of the operational processors. Assess implications ofcontributions by the processing algorithms to E2E performance requirements and contribute to the compilation and documentation of E2E performance budgets any noncompliance with the EPSSG System E2E performance requirements need to be identified and resolved review the adequacy of related tools for E2E performance modelling and, as needed, support development of complementary inhouse modelling tools Support regular reviews of System, Space Segment and Ground Segment documentation relevant for EPSSG data processing chains and E2E performance requirements spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements Participate in formal reviews and technical meetings at system and ground segment level Support preparation of documentation for System level reviews Support coordination of interdisciplinary meetings relevant for data processing chains Support studies internal or external and evaluate their results when relevant for data processing chains, including specification and validation of algorithms Consolidate the verification approach for System E2E performance requirements spectral, radiometric and geometric requirements and maintain the related verification matrix. Requirements Direct involvement in the following areas, with at least 3 years of combined experience Specification of level 1 algorithms for geolocation, spectral and radiometric correction and calibration and of level 2 geophysical algorithms, for spaceborne observation systems as imaging andor sounding instruments Mission performance analysis, budgeting and verification for spaceborne observing systems as imaging andor sounding instruments. The following experience would be an additional asset Knowledge of relevant spaceborne observation instruments EPSSG satellites will embark sounders and imagers from the ultraviolet to the microwave range, a scatterometer and a radiooccultation instrument. Academic and work related requirements A University degree in an engineering discipline is required. Perfect command of English, verbal and written. Knowledge of French would be an asset. Location of workEUMETSAT in DarmstadtGermany. Benefits A permanent employment contract. Competitive salary plus a comprehensive benefits package. Career path. Security In line with Asylum Immigration Legislation, all applicants must be eligible to live and work in the EU. Documented evidence of eligibility will be required from candidates as part of the recruitment process. Furthermore, in view of the nature of the work the company is in, all potential employees will undergo stringent reference and identity checks.
