EUMETSAT is Europes meteorological satellite agency monitoring the weather and climate from space 24 hours a day, 365 days a year As an Instrument Systems Engineer, this is your chance to contribute to a world leading earth observation programme, set to generate global weather forecasting and climate monitoring benefits for many years to come. This role is rooted in the mission of EUMETSAT and will provide the opportunity to work with leading IT, Space and Earth Observation organisations and domain experts to make a positive impact on society! BACKGROUND EUMETSAT is developing its next generation geostationary satellite system, Meteosat Third Generation MTG, in partnership with the European Space Agency ESA. The MTG space segment is composed of two types satellites, for imagery MTGI and sounding MTGS missions, equipped with highly innovative optical observation instruments. EUMETSAT will launch the first one MTGS and two MTGI satellites in the 20222025 period. In the MTG Instrument Team of the Geostationary Programmes Division, the MTG Instrument System Engineer supports the analysis of the onground performances of the Lightning Imager LI of the MTGI satellite and the Infrared Sounder IRS of the MTGS satellite and the preparation and execution of their inorbit verification. On a longterm perspective, the MTG Instrument System Engineer will participate in the preparation and inorbit verification of recurrent MTG satellites and the definition of the instrument requirements for the Meteosat Fourth Generation M4G system in the mid2020s. DUTIES Assess the results of onground tests at instrument and satellite levels and the impact of noncompliances on expected performance, data processing and operations of the LI and IRS instruments, as a member of multidisciplinary Instrument Functional Chain Teams Support the development of tools for the assessment of LI and IRS inorbit operations and performances Support the LI and IRS operations preparation for commissioning and routine operations of the MTGI1, MTGS1 and MTGI2 satellites Support the inorbit verification and validation of the LI and IRS instruments and their data processing of the MTGI1, MTGS1 and MTGI2 satellites Monitor the integration and testing of the recurrent LI and IRS instrument in collaboration with ESA, and assess the impacts of test results at the PreStorage Reviews for the MTGI3, MTGI4 and MTGS2 satellites Support the definition of instrument requirements for the M4G programme, and assess the implications of performance requirements on instrument design Support the design and development programme EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS Excellent salary, in excess of Euro 6,500 NET after income tax deductions based on skills and experience Flexible working time including additional flexileave Full medical coverage for employee and family Attractive pension 30 days of annual leave 14.5 days public holidays Training and development support Relocation allowance and support if applicable SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE Minimum of 3 years relevant experience in satellite optical instruments design, development, testing Experience of inorbit verificationoperations of optical Earth Observation instruments and analysis of optical instrument data would be an advantage Ability to document instrument concepts, requirements and analysis in a complete, concise and accurate manner Ability to assess the implications of performance requirements on instrument design and conversely the impact of instrument design choices on actual performances Ability to assimilate new information and provide rapid, accurate impact analyses Excellent interpersonal and communications skills, with a proven ability to apply these within and between teams Experience in working in interdisciplinary teams including scientists and engineers is highly desirable QUALIFICATIONS University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline eg Physics or Engineering More about us EUMETSATs role is to establish and operate meteorological satellites to monitor the weather and climate from space 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
