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. Mission The Key Person will be integrated into the INR and Calibration Section, which provides support for the EPSSG Programme in the area of INR and geometrical algorithm processing. The general task of the Key Person will be to support the INR aspects within the developing activities of the EPSSG Programme. Primarily the activities have the objective to establish and maintain the knowledge needed to support the INR processing as part of the mission data processing functionality both for online and offline functions. In addition, the Key Person will support and contribute to the review and refinement of the INR architecture at EPSSG System level. In particular the tasks may include Help to develop the INR processing functionality for the mission data processing of all EPSSG instrument missions, throughout the procurement lifecycle, Acquire detailed knowledge on the EPSSG System INR architecture including dependencies and interactions between the platform and the instruments as well as between the instruments hosted on the same platform. Any incompatibilities to the EPSSG requirement baseline need to be identified and resolved. Ensure that the INR processing functionality, including INR testing functionality, which is developed as part of the mission data processing is consistent with the EPSSG System architecture and able to meet the EPSSG requirements on geometric quality and performance. Inconsistencies and noncompliances must be flagged and mitigation measures proposed. Establish and implement a model of the EPSSG INR System architecture, including of the INR estimation process, which allows verification and benchmarking of the INR approach selected by industrial contractors for the instrument mission data processing. Develop, maintain, and procure a INR related test tools and software including INR reference processor software and b INR related test datasets that are necessary for the testing and verification of the EPSSG requirements baseline. Ensure a proper knowledge transfer of all INR aspects from industry to EUMETSAT is implemented in order to ensure longterm maintainability of the preoperational or operational software Define, develop and maintain INR related processing functionality requirements and specifications. Monitor the evolution of the requirements and the applicability of their versions to developed or procured items Prepare documents to support tender actions in the area of INR data processing, and, potentially, evaluate responses to them Support studies and Instrument Functional Chain Team IFCT activities in the area of INR and geometrical processing. Monitor and support INR aspects during the GS development, including contribute to reviews, verification, and testing against appropriate versions of requirements and monitoring and advising on the resolution of deviations Support system engineering activities related to INR, including reviews, working with the EPSSG System and EPSSG Ground Segment teams, and the EPSSG Science team Support interactions related to INR with the Space Segment, including supporting the review, andor analysis, of INRrelated documentation Any other tasks deemed appropriate by the technical officer in support of the overall aim of the tasks above. Profile In addition to having a University degree in a relevant discipline such as aerospace engineering, physics or remote sensing, the Key Person shall have a minimum of three years experience in system design, specifications and implementation of INR processors andor simulators andor mathematical models for imager andor sounder instruments including the development of INR software for processing of satellite meteorological data in UNIX environments. Knowledge and experience of the following is mandatory Expert level on Image Navigation and Registration INR methodologies and techniques, including observable processing, LineofSight LOS modelling, geolocation, and state vector estimation for threeaxis stabilised satellites preferably in low Earth orbit Specification, development, and testing of INR processor software for threeaxis stabilised platforms Integration, Verification and Validation of INR processing subsystems for satellite meteorological or remote sensing dataProficiency in a highlevel programming language e.g. CC suitable for the implementation of prototype and operational INR processor software. Experience and expertise in the following will be preferable Relevant experiences with characterisation and modelling of space segment elements related to INR e.g. scan mirror and line of sight models experience with threeaxis stabilised is considered a clear advantage. Familiarity with mission data processing of satelliteborne instruments knowledge of EPS and EPSSG instrument being an advantage, in particular in relation to INR, geolocation, and geometrical processing. Flight Dynamic concepts, strategies, and constraints. Fluency in English is mandatory. To apply, please send your CV to FranoisXavier LAFFONT francoisxavier.laffontcs.fr with CC to fabienne.millouscssystems.de with the title and the job reference.
