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. The mission As members of the SEP LEO Mission Data Processing Operational Applications maintenance team, the Key Persons shall support the maintenance and evolution of the EPS Ground Segment, specifically the FEP and PGF facilities and provide support to the development and integration of new PPF. The FEP and PGF application software is mainly developed in C and a good experience in C is therefore mandatory. For the PPF support knowledge of C will be needed in addition. The Key Persons duties will include a range of tasks, from the support of the day to day operation and maintenance, the analysis, design, development and testing of the facilities which also includes the handling of anomalies, upgrades and configuration changes for these facilities. Tasks will also contain the settingup and implementation of maintenance policies and procedures as well as the coordination with external providers of maintenance services. In support to operations, the Key Persons may also be required to provide on call support as part of a team of maintenance engineers. Besides the above described routine tasks, the Key Persons will also be expected to contribute to design and system engineeringreengineering activities in the field of science data processing that will become necessary for existing and future production systems. Typically the tasks will include 1. Contribute to the definition and design of architectures of data processing ground segments and their components, their interfaces, and the validation and verification methods. 2. Monitor the detailed design and implementation of new system software components by industrial contractors and perform the acceptance of externally developed components. 3. Support the operations of existing data processing ground segments and their maintenance and evolution. This will also include 3.1 Upgrade software, including implementing and maintaining new algorithms and products for the EPS instrument suite, e.g. for ASCAT, ATOVS and AVHRR processing, including rationalising common data processing components such as software libraries to reduce cost. 3.2 Maintenance and development of the FEP and PGF software it should be noted that the first line maintenance is being performed by EUMETSAT in conjunction with the industrial contractor the second line maintenance is being performed by the industrial contractor under supervision and with support from EUMETSAT and it entails in particular Contribution to FEPPGF system design and reengineering Support to the development and implementation of FEP and PGF tools and script 4. Support to procurement activities for maintenance and evolution activities as described under point 3. 5. Perform routine tasks in operational systems under configuration control such as 5.1 Support to Configuration Management, building and distribution of FEPPGF software releases and patches 5.2 Support to the development, integration and configuration management of software developed by third parties, its installation, and configuration and testing 5.3 Anomaly investigations, documentation and classification. 5.4 Follow up of the delivery of SW resolutions for these anomalies 5.5 Perform SW testing in a structured approach to verify that delivered SW is fulfilling the requirements or to demonstrate that problems have been corrected. 5.6 Analysis of the maintenance requirements and identification, procurement or implementation of the tools required to fulfil them 5.7 Settingup and implementation of maintenance policies and procedures, 5.8 Support to the procurement and installation of hardware and software, and the coordination with external providers of support services 5.9 Participation in technical meetings and formal reviews. Profile In addition to having a University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, the Key Persons shall have experience in SW development, configuration controlled software build environments, experience with the operation, maintenance or trouble shooting of large, complex, realtime data processing systems. The Key Persons shall have a minimum of 3 years work experience in UNIX application development and testing in C, C. The Key Persons should possess very good communication, presentation and team working skills and be able to cope with very high workloads. An ability to adapt to a rapidly changing, often stressful environment and retain a system overview is also essential. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the following areas is mandatory Experience of operating and maintaining software systems in a UNIX based environment specifically LINUX and AIX Software build environments and tools e.g. IBM XL C and GCC compilers, make, automake, autoconf, RPM Software debugging and profiling tools e.g. GDB, IBM Purify, Valgrind Source code control systems, preferably Subversion and CVS CC programming language experience in a UNIX based environment Knowledge of Scripting languages e.g. Perl, shell, TclTk, Python In addition, fulfilment of at least one of the 2 following requirements is mandatory, either profile A Strong background in the design, development, integration and operationmaintenance of satellite instrument data processing systems in the ground segments of Satellite Earth Observation systems. or profile B Competence in objectoriented software design and implementation in the context of satellite instrument data processing systems, including design for testing, unit test suite maintenance, build tools, repositories, debugging and profiling. English fluent in oral and written is mandatory. To apply, please send your CV to FranoisXavier LAFFONT francoisxavier.laffontcs.fr with CC to recrutementcs.fr with the job reference.
