HAMTEC Consulting a provider of quality staff to the aerospace industry.
We are currently seeking a University educated or comparable in a relevant
discipline, and experience of software development and testing for
operational highly available near-real-time earth observation data
processing systems
Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Start Date: As soon as feasible in 2012
Closing date: 20 January 2012
TASKS:
* The candidate will be integrated into the data processing facility
team of the MTG Ground Segment. The general task of the candidate will be to
support the procurement activities for the MTG L0, L1 and L2 product
processing, primarily by developing and consolidating the knowledge needed
to acquire the mission data processing functionality - both for on-line and
off-line functions - primarily for the FCI and LI, and also for the IRS and
UVN (including functionality providing common services, such as data
handling, processor allocation and monitoring, job control, and general M&C)
* In particular the tasks will include:
* Help procure the processing functionality for both L1 and L2
processing of the Imager (FCI and LI) and of the Sounder (IRS and UVN)
instruments, throughout the procurement lifecycle, supporting and monitoring
contractors. In particular, to:
* Define, develop and maintain L0, L1 and L2 processing functionality
requirements and specifications and those of the resulting L0, L1, and L2
products, including their formats. Monitor evolution of the requirements and
the applicability of their versions to procured items;
* Prepare documents to support tender actions in the area of data
processing, and, potentially, evaluate responses to them;
* Monitor and assist contractors during procurements, including
contribute to reviews, verification, and testing against appropriate
versions of requirements and monitoring and advising on the resolution of
deviations;
* Develop and maintain, as well as support procurement of,
* test tools and software - including prototype software that
implements the functionality defined in the processing specifications;
* test datasets that reflect the functionality defined in the
processing specifications;
* Support system engineering activities, including reviews, working
with the MTG System and MTG Ground Segment teams, and the MTG Science team;
* Support interactions with the Space Segment, via the System Team and
in the context of the Instrument Functional Chain Engineering Groups,
including supporting the review, and/or analysis, of instrument-related
documentation including relevant ICDs;
* Create reports and presentations, including internal reports, on
aspects of the tasks above;
* Any other tasks deemed appropriate by the technical officer in
support of the overall aim of the tasks above;
* It is foreseen, given the duration of the contract, that the most
time will be spent on monitoring and support of the facility suppliers, for
which it will be necessary to invest a smaller but nonetheless significant
amount of time developing and maintaining a strong working knowledge of the
processing needed to produce the L0, L1, and L2 products, of test datasets
to verify different aspects of it, and of its specification.
* In the performance of these tasks, the candidate shall comply with
the applicable rules of the EUMETSAT Directory of Instructions (DI) and the
EUMETSAT Management System (EMS), the applicable organisational and
divisional management standards, and also with the relevant working
practices and procedures as well as the organisational and divisional
documentation management procedures. The set of applicable rules and working
practice to be applied during the execution of the work will be made
available at start of the duties in EUMETSAT.
Qualifications and Experience
* A University degree or comparable qualifications in a relevant
discipline.
* Experience of software development and testing for operational
highly available near-real-time earth observation data processing systems
Essential Skills
* Specification, development, and testing of product processors for
earth observation platforms;
* System software engineering in an operational earth observation
environment;
* Test data development and acquisition, and test data and test case
management vs requirements specifications;
* Knowledge of ECSS standards;
* The ability to obtain a full system overview in the area of
responsibility;
* The ability to maintain an overview against a set requirements
specifications with a managed evolution of configuration status
* Very good communication, presentation and listening skills
* The ability to earn the trust of, and work as part of a team
* The ability to perform under high workloads
* The ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment;
* A high degree of autonomy and good analytical skills;
Desirable Skills
. Procurement of operational data processing systems in the field of
Earth Observations, including procurement reviews, monitoring, and
verification and testing.
. Requirements specification, development, acquisition testing,
integration, verification, and commissioning and validation of product
processors and their support functionality.
. Rapid algorithm prototyping and test data generation in support of
the above
. System software engineering in an operational environment
including
. Configuration Control;
. Definition and formalization of architectures and interfaces of
complex systems;
. Formalised Software Testing;
. Global standards for data, e.g.
. NetCDF-4 or HDF-5.
. CCSDS standards for data format representation;
. Tools supporting the above:
. Tool based requirements management (e.g. IBM DOORs)
. Tool based Software Architecture and Design (e.g. Enterprise
Architect, UML 2.0/ SysML)
. Unit testing frameworks (e.g. JUnit, JMeter);
. Source Code control systems (e.g. subversion, git)
. Production programming languages (e.g. C++, Java)
. Prototyping tools (e.g. Python, IDL/PV-Wave)
