One of our space clients in Germany are looking for a GEO MTG Lightning Imager Data Processing engineer to provide support to the LI on ground data processing development within the Geostationary Programmes division GEO, with a strong emphasis on all the 01b data processing aspects. The consultant will be integrated into the Instrument Functional Chain Engineering IFCE group of the MTG System Engineering team within the GEO Division and report to the LI instrument system engineer and will also work closely together with the Remote Sensing and Products Division RSP that work on the LI. The role would ideally suit a contractor looking for a long term consultancy role within the space industry. The submission deadline for applicants is 6th January 2016. Tasks Provision of support to the development and evaluation of detector, electronic, radiometric, quality flagging, performance and calibration degradation correction and monitoring algorithms detector, electronics and optical and all other algorithms relevant for the LI 01b data processing. For INR geolocation algorithms support from LI side towards algorithms provided by other sources is anticipated. Provision of support to the development and evaluation of appropriate LI triggered event filtering flagging algorithms for 01b and 12 data processing, with emphasis on the 0 1b data processing. Provision of support to the development of prototype software code for the purposes of testing and verification of the developed LI 01b algorithms. Provision of support to the development of a reference processor for LI, from level0 to level1b. Provision of an Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Document ATBD for the LI 01b processing. Provision of support to the generation of associated documentation including technical reports, etc. Participation in the LI Instrument Functional Chain Engineering IFCE group. Conducting and supporting external studies relevant for and related to the above activities, and analysing and evaluating the study results. Note Evaluation of algorithms involves both the review of the information derived from the ESA led LI space segment contract and alternative sources of information. Qualifications Technical university degree in Physics or a related subject for example space and satellite engineering. Skills Demonstrable familiarity with satellite instruments characteristics for earth observation in the visiblenearinfrared range of the spectrum and with their 01b calibration, as well as with relating physics processes in such satellite instruments to the relevant 01b data processing algorithms required to provide geophysically calibrated level1b data. Solid background in software engineering. Capable of working both individually and independently on assigned responsibilities, as well as in the LIMTG team where necessary. Ability to write concise and comprehensive scientific and technical reports. Good interpersonal and communication skills. Good English skills are essential. The following skills are considered an advantage Experience with scientific instrument data simulation, 01b data processing software development and prototypingtesting such software, for satellite instruments for earth observation. Experience in software development in a Linux andor Unix environment in CC. Experience with the latest software development tools and methods. Experience with specification, design and coding of 01b data processing systems for earthobserving satellite instrumentation. Experience with software prototyping tools e.g. Python, IDL and software build environments and tools e.g. make, imake.
