One of our space clients based in Germany is seeking an Image Navigation Registration Engineer to contribute to their existing and future programmes in the development of INR data processing systems. The closing date for applications is 08062016. Tasks Support the development procurement of the INR data processing systems. Support software implementations and modification in delivered INR data processing software. Support the verification and validation of INR data processing systems, and their initial operations phase. Supporting the investigation and correction of anomalies related to the performance of INR data processing systems. Developing and documenting prototype software validating INR algorithms andor realising INR processing concepts for future programmes, in particular for high accuracy processing of instrument data from 3axis stabilised platforms. Supporting the generation of proxydata for INR prototyping or for verificationvalidation of INR data processing systems. Develop the inhouse knowledge base related to Image Navigation and Registration INR algorithms and the related software implementations as well as highaccuracy level 1 processing from instruments on GEO and LEO orbits. Participation and contributions to formal reviews andor technical meetings. Qualifications University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline. Skills The Key person shall have the following mandatory skills and work experience. However it is acceptable to have the most prominent skill strengths either on the theoretical knowledgeanalysis capability side or on the software development side. In each case, some degree of the complementary skills is still required. An extensive theoretical knowledge of Level 1 data processing algorithms for Image Navigation and Registration, and geometric correction. Sound expertise in software development and proven experience in at least one coding language, preferable CC, in a UNIXLINUX environment. Familiarity with at least one tool to support algorithm software development and rapid prototyping, e.g. MATLAB, IDL, Python. Handson experience in the design and implementation of estimation filters e.g. Kalman or Leastsquare filters, preferably in an Image Navigation and Registration application context. A sound experience in the specification, prototyping, implementation, verification and validation of complex, realtime Level 1 data processing systems for imaging andor sounding instruments on remote sensing spacecraft. A thorough understanding of the interaction between instrumentplatform characteristics and processing impact, including product quality. Experience in the development of INR processing systems preferable for large multiinstrument operational space programmes. The ability To work effectively in small teams. To work autonomously without close supervision. To work to tight deadlines under changing conditions. To analyse complex problems, distinguishing between critical and less critical information, and to synthesise and clearly present the results of such analyses. Knowledge of imaging andor sounding instrumentation for remote sensing spacecraft would be advantageous. Fluency in English is mandatory and a working knowledge of French would be an advantage.
