EUMETSAT is Europes meteorological satellite agency monitoring the weather and climate from space 24 hours a day, 365 days a year We are currently looking for an experienced Remote Sensing Scientist to join our international team of young and inspiring engineers and industry professionals, tasked with driving innovation within the Space, Satellite and Earth Observation sector. This role is routed 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! The Remote Sensing and Products RSP Division is tasked with providing the scientific expertise required to develop, implement, validate, maintain and evolve the operational observational products for all EUMETSAT satellites and agreed third party missions, such as the Copernicus CO2 Monitoring, as well as establishing the user requirements for future EUMETSAT missions. Within the Image Navigation, Registration, and Calibration INRC Competence Area of the Remote Sensing and Products Division RSP, the Remote Sensing Scientist Copernicus will be responsible for, and contribute to, the scientific development, maintenance, validation and quality monitoring of MultiAngle Polarimeter MAP and of CloudImager CLIM instrument level1 products of the Copernicus CO2 mission CO2M, in particular with respect to instrument calibration, navigation, and coregistration. CO2M is the space component of the European integrated observation and inversion modelling system dedicated to the monitoring of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. What youll be doing Acquire and maintain an in depth understanding of the instrument design, performances and calibration of the MultiAngle Polarimeter MAP and Cloud Imager CLIM instruments onboard the Sentinel7 CO2 Monitoring mission Support the prototyping and operational implementation of algorithms for image navigation, coregistration, and calibration for the MAP and CLIM instrument level1 products Plan, develop and perform product calibration and validation activities, with respect to MAP and CLIM calibration and coregistration performance, including the MAP and CLIM product coregistration to the main CO2 spectrometer instrument onboard CO2M Provide product quality analysis and longterm monitoring of MAP and CLIM level1 products. Support and develop tools for this task Support Sentinel7 mission preparation for commissioning and operations with respect to processor integrations, system testing, validation and verification Support industrial activities for operational processor development, and processor specification, as well as MAP and CLIM instrument groundcalibration campaigns Play an active role in relevant preparations for missions operation and scientific interactions with the CO2 Monitoring and Verification Support capacity user community. What we offer Excellent salary, of up to Euro 7,500 month NET after tax based on skills and experience Flexible working time including additional flexileave Private medical coverage for employee and family Attractive final salary pension 30 days of annual leave 14.5 days public holidays Training and development support Relocation allowance and support if applicable. Requirements Qualifications Advanced university degree or equivalent experience in remote sensing, physics or other related degree. Skills and Experience Indepth scientific knowledge and handson experience of image calibration, navigation and coregistration algorithms in remote sensing applications Proven experience of processing of largevolumes of data from relevant space borne instruments Demonstrable experience with scientific development projects and working with user communities and researchers Experience of working in a UNIX environment and with scientificallyoriented coding languages, CC and Python Strengths in analysis, synthesis and presentation, coupled with good interpersonal skills and a proven ability to apply these to the interactions within a team and between teams Familiarity with multiangle polarimeter andor high spatial resolution imager calibration operating in the visible and shortwave infrared region is an advantage Familiarity with IDL andor MATLAB, Java, and software libraries and tools specific for orbit and pointing computations e.g. Orekit, ESA EOCFI, earth observation satellite data and image processing e.g. pytroll, gdal, opencv, itk, data storage e.g. netCdf, grib is an advantage. APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ENGLISH. WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CONSIDER APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED IN OTHER LANGUAGES. EUMETSAT is an international organisation employing staff from across all 30 member states and this role is being advertised on multiple international job boards, but please note that this role would be based in Darmstadt, Germany and would require international applicants to relocate if successful. 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. This information is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisations Member and Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide. EUMETSAT also operates several Copernicus missions on behalf of the European Union and provide data services to the Copernicus marine and atmospheric services and their users.
