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 two Software Engineers for the EPS Data and Product Processing Facilities fm at EUMETSAT. It is assumed that one Engineer will focus more on the FEPPGF aspects, while the other will be more concentrating on the PGFPPF issues. Tasks The EUMETSAT Technical and Scientific Support Department TSS provides support to operations of existing satellite systems and to the development of new programmes. For the future, several new missions are in preparation such as MTG, EPS Second Generation EPS SG and others.
