These activities will provide the opportunity to actively support operational and scientific interactions with user communities and the Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Service, responding to their evolving needs. You will have the chance to support both prototyping and the operational implementation of advanced algorithms for improved and new marine optical products from Sentinel3 and other Copernicus relevant missions. You will also be expected to support mission operations with respect to processing anomalies, change requests, new processing baselines and regression testing. To be successful you should have a degree level qualification in remote sensing or another relevant discipline. You should also acquire and maintain an in depth understanding of the observational capabilities of the Sentinel3 ocean colour instrument and other relevant ocean colour instruments. We would expect you to have an indepth knowledge of optical observations of the ocean, in particular Ocean Colour Radiometry, and demonstrable experience of working with user communities and researchers. You should also have experience of working in a UNIX environment and knowledge scientificallyoriented coding languages. What we offer We work in a collaborative, international environment which offers you a competitive salary and outstanding benefits. We offer the opportunity to work on exciting satellite programmes both current and planned.
