About us SCISYS Deutschland GmbH provides professional engineering and consultancy services supporting space programmes and missions. We have a strong presence at ESOC and EUMETSAT, as well as serving all ESA sites and spacecraft primes. Our team is composed of university graduates and experienced professionals, comprising some of the most knowledgeable, dedicated and talented engineers across Europe. Our services cover the whole life cycle of space programmes from early concepts to operations. Our Space Division provides a dynamic, supportive and friendly atmosphere in which you are encouraged to lead with initiative. We support new ideas from our colleagues and are focused on innovation. Moreover, we actively manage your professional development, training and career progression. For the location in Darmstadt Germany we are looking for a Ground Segment System Engineer at EUMETSAT. Tasks This Position is for a consultant to support and assist the Systems Engineering and Projects SEP Division performing system engineering and design activities at Ground Segment system level either for evolutions of operational Ground Segments or as new designs for new development of future programmes.. The activities will cover expert support in several system engineering areas and disciplines involving requirements, architectural design, and detailed definition of ground segment subsystems, with deep analysis of their functions, performance, interfaces, verification and operation, as well as maintenance aspects. The key person will support engineering activities defining the ground segments for future programmes e.g JasonCS. It is important to note that JasonCS is an optional programme at EUMETSAT and its whole implementation is challenging both in terms of schedule and tightly constrained budgets.
