Our client is seeking a consultant to provide Satellite EndtoEnd Instrument Chains Support to mission performance, processing chains, instrument calibration and product validation. In this role the key person will typically provide support for the following tasks contributing directly to the tasks andor following up work done in other teams Mission performances Identification of contributors to performances radiometric spectral geometric allocation apportionment to elements of the instrument chains. Definition of approach for performance modelling review of adequacy of related modelling tools. Compilation and analysis of endtoend performance budgets, as needed collecting input from space and ground segment studies cross check against applicable requirements. Processing chains Definition of overall approach for the development, verification and validation VV of the processing chains as part of the overall EPSSG System. Identification of implications of processing concepts for System ground segment requirements, architecture and design. Identification of required tools and test data for the development and VV of the processing chains as relevant generation of technical documents to support tool developmentprocurement. Support for the development of relevant tools and the generation of required test data sets. Following up of validation of processing algorithms and of verification of processing chains in the ground segment as relevant for System VV of the endtoend instrument chains. Instrument calibration product validation Analysis of the implications of instrument calibration concepts for the System and ground segment and specifically for onground data processing. Support for the definition of the required infrastructure to perform tuning maintenance of calibration data and to validate generated products. In addition the keyperson will be involved in some more general tasks Regular review of System level documentation dealing with requirements, system concepts, architecture and design, technical analyses, to identify information of importance for endtoend instrument chains. Support for coordination of interdisciplinary meetings of relevance for the instrument chains. Support for the preparation of documentation for System level reviews, during the covered period mainly the System Requirements Review and the Preliminary Design Review. The successful candidate will have a minimum of 5 years experience in the field of engineering of space and or ground systems, in the area of Earth Observations from space, along with a minimum of 5 years of direct involvement in the development of relevant instruments andor the related onground processing chain, with an indepth understanding of mutual implications. Candidates should have a good overall knowledge of instruments, the platform environment, processing algorithms, ground segment environment, to the extent relevant for endtoend instrument chains. All applicants should be able to demonstrate the ability to perform analyses of a System combined space and ground segment top down and to perform synthesis and compile technical budgets bottom up. Candidates shall be educated to a minimum of degree level or similar and fluent in English, both written and spoken.
