We offer a wealth of benefits to support a balanced work-life balance, including but not limited to mobile working and encouraging career development.

The Position

Climate change is affecting our life more and more, therefore not only weather forecasting but also Earth Observation are facing new challenges. New needs for higher temporal, spatial and spectral resolution, new instruments, all this becomes reality with the Earth observing missions operated by our customer EUMETSAT in 2021.

For our team on-site EUMETSAT, we are looking for a Meteorologist / Atmospheric Physicist to support the development of aerosol and cloud products for future and current missions of EUMETSAT. These are the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG), the EUMETSAT Polar System - Second Generation (EPS-SG) programs as well as the Sentinel-3 Copernicus program. This position is based at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt. It is full-time and permanent and expected starting date will be around July 2020.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

Responsibilities/Duties

Your principal task will be the continuous development of geophysical products (level 2) in the Technical Computing Environment (TCE) supporting the Remote Sensing and Product Division. In the TCE facility different cloud and aerosol products are prototyped in order to prepare the operational implementation on ground segments where they will be continuously generated and disseminated in near real time to the user community.

You will be primarily in charge of the software that generates the aerosol retrieval from the simultaneous Surface and Aerosol Retrieval approach (SAR). One of these technics (the GRASP) has to be implemented to support testing and adaptation for future operations. Additionally a strong involvement in the general work on aerosol processors and products of the Sentinel-3 mission will fulfill your daily work.

Just to list the general task within the Cloud and Aerosol team:

• Algorithm installation and testing,
• Algorithm software anomaly investigation and correction,
• Operation of scientific validation tools to support the analysis,
• Design and implementation of algorithm enhancements / improvements,
• Analyses of new product algorithms and updates,
• Development of tools in support of product monitoring, product analysis, and validation testing.

Qualifications/Experience

What are we looking for? Maybe for you, with at least a University degree in Meteorology, Atmospheric Physics or related subjects. With your 3 years of experience in of processing satellite or meteorological data.

Of course, you are easily understanding the relating physics processes in such satellite instruments.

Essential Skills

You are daily working with Python in a Linux/Unix environment and the latest software development tools and methods are your daily business. We don't have to tell you about NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and other libraries.

You have already gained a lot of experience with representing scientific data for Earth Observation application with Python.
Furthermore, you have proven experience in the design, implementation, and testing of complex scientific algorithm software (C/C++ and Fortran in a UNIX environment).

Teamwork and one's own initiative is what you enjoy: Capable of working both individually and independently on assigned responsibilities, while you are part of the system team. We are of course looking for good interpersonal and communication skills!

Desirable Skills

Ideally, you know already a lot about the area of Aerosol and/or Cloud extraction from satellite imagery, image processing algorithms, operational data processing. Experience on the EUMETSAT developments or facilities is more than welcome!

Further Details / Requirements

• Europass CV and certificates
