Image Navigation and Registration Engineer (VN 17/38)

Your primary responsibilities will include developing the INR processing functionality of EPS-SG instrument missions based on deliverables from space and ground segment development programmes, ensuring that we meet the requirements on geometric quality and performance. You will also be involved in maintaining, refining and prototyping INR models for EPS-SG instruments and following up and supporting INR aspects of the industrial development of the EPS-SG ground segment including reviews, testing, monitoring and advising on the resolution of deviations.

Acquiring and transferring knowledge for all EPS-SG INR aspects from industry to EUMETSAT is an important requirement of the role in addition to developing, maintaining and procuring INR-related test tools, software and databases and INR data processing and support, as necessary. You will additionally support system engineering activities and studies in the area of INR and geometrical processing and contribute to testing activities.

Alongside a university degree in a relevant discipline, such as Aerospace Engineering, Physics or Remote Sensing, you should be able to demonstrate an expert knowledge of INR methodologies and techniques (preferably in low Earth orbit) and also possess experience with specification, development and verification of INR processor software and the use of INR-related libraries. Proficiency in a high-level programming language (e.g. C/C++) is required. Familiarity with mission data processing of space-borne instruments, understanding of Flight Dynamic concepts, and knowledge of relevant engineering standards (e.g. ECSS) would be considered an advantage.

All applicants must be a EUMETSAT Member State national with a good working knowledge of the English language, both spoken and written. You also require some knowledge of French.
