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.

Duties

• Contribute to the definition and management/maintenance of the requirements for climate processing and reprocessing systems, taking into account the evolving needs of the users;
• Steer the engineering activities, including industrial procurements, and follow up the activities steering to the implementation and evolution of these systems; the engineering activities shall target state of the art data processing systems, aiming to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of EUMETSAT ground segments and processes;
• Define, execute and follow up the Verification & Validation (V&V) testing of new reprocessing systems, or their evolutions;
• Contribute to the definition of transition plans from development into operations;

• Support the coordination of activities and priorities for climate processing baselines and for operational data reprocessing;
• Support routine operations and associated maintenance and evolution activities including management of maintenance contracts and support to anomaly investigation;
• Pivot and adapt to changing business needs in a fast-paced environment with the aim of achieving the most beneficial set of attainable goals;
• Build and maintain relationships across the organization to maximize the results of the competence area;
• Support the competence area manager (CAM) in defining long term plans and roadmaps to harmonise the engineering, maintenance and evolutions of data processing systems across all EUMETSAT satellite systems.

Skills and Experience

• Demonstrated experience in mass/bulk processing and reprocessing systems, focused on new ‘Big Data’ paradigms and technologies;
• Proven experience in data processing systems and applications engineering following well established engineering processes, covering the full development lifecycle and relevant technical standards (e.g. ECSS, CCSDS, OGC);
• Understanding and experience in the management of industrial contracts in the area of ground segment engineering;
• Ability to manage complex tasks with minimum supervision, including planning and prioritisation of activities, allocation and coordination of resources, monitoring and reporting;
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with proven ability to apply these to a team environment while working within a matrix structure, a customer-centric approach, and a passion for driving continuous improvement;
• Strong problem-solving skills and a track- record of driving measurable outcomes;
• Experience in project management of ground segment elements development for earth observation satellites would be advantageous.
