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 part of the HIL2 team. This team is responsible for the scientific development, maintenance, validation and routine monitoring of hyperspectral infrared atmospheric sounding products in support of the development and operations of EUMETSATs geostationary and polar orbiting systems. The Key Person shall contribute to the continued improvement of current operational products considering opportunities and new requirements from the user community. Heshe shall support the implementation and evaluation of new algorithms in EUMETSAT operational ground segments. It is expected that the tasks of the Key Person will typically include Release and validation of new versions of the operational IASI L2 Product Processing Facility Integration and verification of external software deliveries in the operational ground segment and in the prototype processors of the future missions Software anomaly fixing Development and documentation of prototype software and test procedures Generation of test data Statistical analysis and visualisation of hyperspectral infrared Level 2 products Support the transfer of the IASI expertise to future hyperspectral infrared missions MTGIRS and IASING Retrieval algorithm specification, validation and tuning. Profile The Key Person shall have a University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline such as computer science, mathematics, physics, astrophysics, meteorology or remote sensing. The Key Person shall have at least three years of experience in the field of mathematical modelling and scientific computing. Specifically, the Key Person shall have experience and skills in Numerical algorithms Development and testing of complex scientific software Handling and processing of big amounts of data Object oriented techniques for scientific computing Software tools for revision control Very good skills in a high level programming language, preferably C Advanced use of data analysis and visualisation with tools like Matlab, IDL or equivalent preferably with satellite data. Experience in some of the following areas is expected Inverse problems Principal component analysis Further mathematical modelling techniques nonlinear optimization, regression, neural networks, Kalman filters, etc. Familiarity with satellite data, preferably from IASI or other hyperspectral infrared instruments Use of radiative transfer models Retrieval of atmospheric parameters from infrared andor microwave radiances Data formats and libraries such as HDF5 and NetCDF Software testing Validation and visualization of satellite products Software libraries for numerical linear algebra and similar subroutines Experience with further programming languages and tools such as Python, Ruby, Java, etc. Multithreads programming. Fluency in English written and oral is mandatory.
