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.

Normal Support The task shall be performed during normal office hours. Standby callout support The following provisions shall apply for standby callout support Our client will specify in advance, on a work package basis, the schedule and scope for standby support. Requests for standby support must be authorised by the technical representative. During periods of standby support, the Consultant shall respond to calls by telephone or beeper outside normal working hours, and shall provide remote support to Operations. The Consultant may, by telephone, ascertain the nature of the problem but must be available, if required, to report to the Mission Control Centre within one hour of callout. In such a case the callout support will essentially aim at restoring the mission. REPORTING Formal reporting is required at monthly intervals or in the event of a major task completion. The monthly reports and any other reports or technical documentation generated shall be submitted in writing directly to the technical representative. The work will be released in individual Work Packages.
