Job description, responsibilities and duties
Would you like to apply your Computer Science background to understanding more about changes in global weather and climate? Are you a naturally analytical and innovative person who likes to look at data in different ways?
EUMETSAT is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and the environment, pulling together the resources of 30 Member States. We observe the atmosphere and ocean and land surfaces from Space using a system of satellites, 365 days a year, offering images and data to provide insights into weather situations, environmental hazards and climate change. Our work helps users worldwide to monitor changes in these to protect lives, lifestyles and properties. Developing the next generation of satellites, we look to shape our future.
We have been gathering information from satellites for over 30 years and want to use this data to best effect. As a result, two opportunities have arisen to join the busy Data Processing Systems and Applications Competence Area to provide us with technical support to design and develop new processing systems used for climate activities as well as to reprocess our significant amount of climate data.
Your responsibilities will include defining and managing requirements for climate processing and reprocessing systems, identifying and delivering the evolving needs of users. Leading the engineering and procurement activities, you will be pivotal in the implementation of these systems. You will be involved in testing and roll-out. Additionally you will support operations and management in defining long-term plans to harmonise data processing systems across all EUMETSAT satellite systems.
