Since 1979, Italian ACS has been a Software System Integrator. As a Payload Data Ground Segment specialist, ACS develops componentssubsystemsground stations for satellite data acquisition, processing and dissemination. The company is active in geospatial multisource applications development for planning and management of environmental risks infrastructures and realtime handling of large data streams. ACS offer to their customers the complete range of services from the collection of user requirements to operational activities support. Our German subsidiary ACSD provides consultancy service at EUMETSAT Darmstadt. Selected candidate will sign permanent full time contract and work at EUM premises. Besides an opportunity to work in international environment, ACS can offer competitive salary, attractive benefits package tailored to specific needs, training and career growth within ACS group, support for relocation to Darmstadt. For our activities in Germany, we are looking for a person to provide Ground Segment System Engineering Support. The Key person will carry out tasks which support activities related to three different phases in the life cycle of EUMETSAT systems Phase B Architectural and Preliminary Design, various stages of Phase C Detailed Design and Phase D Implementation and Validation. In support of Phase B Support the refinement, management and maintenance of the GS system requirements in its Ground Segment Requirements Document, including analysis of the system level requirements, requirements tracing and justification Support the refinement and maintenance of the ground segment functional, operational and data model Support the definition of the Ground Segment architecture addressing the overall design of the ground segment system and its physical elements, including the GS deployment views, and generation of the associated architectural design documentation Perform analyses architectural tradeoffs, technical budgets, design to costeffort and risk analyses to ensure completeness and coherence of the design for all aspects related to system engineering, and contribute to the GS design justification and GS Technical Budgets documents Support to the decomposition of the GS System into procurementdevelopment elements, COTS and reusable components including allocation of requirements and functions from GS system level. Contribution to the element level requirements, especially requirements common to all elements and recommended technologies Support the definition of GS external interfaces, and internal interfaces between the different GS elements, and their documentation in ICDs Support the generation of IVV related concepts and documents, including preliminary integration and verification plans and verification control documents VCDs Support the preparation of the documentation for the GS Preliminary Design Review PDR and the review itself, as part of the ground segment project team, i.e., providing answers to and supporting the resolution of issues raised. In support of Phase C Support the completion of the detailed design of GS components, including analyses architectural tradeoffs, system technical budgets, risk analyses to ensure completeness and coherence of the design for all aspects related to system engineering Support the management and maintenance of the requirements baseline and definition of MME Services, on the basis of the capabilities needed by the Programmes GS Support the closure of actions raised at the GS PDR and other check points which might be identified in the detailed design phase Support the definition of requirements and interfaces for the components of the GS Support to studies internal or external and the evaluation of their results, and related engineering proposals for the ground segment detailed design, Support to preparation of the ground segment system and constituent parts assembly, integration and verification detailed planning. In support of Phase D Analyse deliverables for conformance to existing requirements and specified test procedures, Support the integration, verification, and validation IVV of the Ground Segment elements into the overall Ground Segment system, Support following up all segment level development and testing activities and status, and participate in meetings and reviews as necessary.
