Job Description:
We are looking to strengthen our engineering team at EUMETSAT, supporting the exploitation of EUMETSAT missions such as MSG, MTG, EPS, EPS-SG and Sentinel-3. The work centres on the development and verification of cloud products derived from satellite data, specifically cloud mask, cloud type, and cloud top height.
Responsibilities also encompass snow/ice, dust, and volcanic ash detection, the generation of clear-sky reflectance climatologies, the production of all-sky radiance products, and support for active fire monitoring.
Key Responsibilities
Scientific Development
• Improve and evaluate cloud products scientifically
• Focus specifically on contributions to MTG and EPS-SG missions
Prototyping
• Develop prototype processors for MTG and EPS-SG
Operational Processing
• Build hands-on experience with EUMETSAT's Level-2 processing systems
Calibration & Validation (Cal/Val)
• Support the development of tools used to calibrate and validate satellite products
Programme Support
• Respond to requests from GEO and LEO programmes (e.g. reviews, documentation)
• Help verify the Level-2 processing systems for both MTG and EPS-SG
Test Data Sets (TDS)
• Generate test datasets for MTG and EPS-SG activities
• Create test datasets to assess the impact of instrumental anomalies
Climate Data Records (CDR)
• Contribute to the generation and validation of long-term climate data records
General Contributions
• Take part in studies and progress meetings, providing input on scientific content
Essential Skills and Qualifications
• Good engineering background in related fields such as Earth observation, data processing, remote sensing etc.
