Eumetsat - monitoring weather and climate from space
EUMETSAT is Europe’s meteorological satellite agency, operating satellites that monitor the weather and climate from space - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
EUMETSAT is an international organisation employing staff from across all 30 member states and this role is being advertised on multiple international job boards, but please note that this role would be based in Darmstadt, Germany and would require international applicants to relocate if successful.
We are currently looking for an experienced Data Re-processing Engineer to join our international team of young and inspiring engineers and industry professionals, tasked with driving innovation within the Space, Satellite and Earth Observation sector.
This role is rooted in the mission of EUMETSAT and will provide the opportunity to work with leading IT, Space and Earth Observation organisations and domain experts to make a positive impact on society!
Within the Data Processing Systems and Applications Competence Area of the Satellite Systems Ground Segment (SGS) Division, the data reprocessing engineer will provide engineering and technical support to the design, development, verification and validation of the different processing systems used for climate activities as well as the systems used to reprocess data to align archives with the evolved baseline of the operational processors.
The Re-processing Team is composed of very skilled and talented people that are dealing with the latest technologies (current and future state of the art) applicable for cloud/bulk data re-processing systems. The team needs to face and resolve very challenging projects where thinking out of the box is essential and bringing innovative ideas is mandatory. The Re-processing Engineer will have the opportunity to work in an environment led by innovation and excellence in an organisation with a positive mission.
We are seeking a highly motivated, results-guided person that will contribute to our organization’s growth and success. If you are a collaborative team player with a proven track record of driving results and are looking for a rewarding opportunity, we encourage you to apply for this exciting role.
