- Contribution to preparation of supporting material for the presentation of the evolutions in the corresponding boards.
The Key Person shall have the following attributes and skills:
- Relevant experience in preparation of requirements, design, interfaces and testing documentation for data processing systems considering the systems engineering aspects of data processing management and data provision.
- Requirements engineering process, including relation between requirements, ICDs, design and testing documentation.
- Relevant experience in monitoring and implementation of designs against requirement baselines and IV&V, testing and formal acceptance.
- The ability to maintain a system overview is essential. This ability must be exercised within a multi-disciplinary context in cooperation with other teams, covering several different data processing levels and instruments.
- Ability to learn and develop the needed skills and knowledge to contribute to the development of data processing systems. This includes the ability to rapidly absorb, and make use of, information presented in written and oral communications in a dynamic context.
- Systematic approach to work, be able to plan the work and to cope with tight schedules and multiple tasks.
- Ability to write accurate and consistent technical documentation.
The knowledge and experience of as many as possible of the following areas will be an advantage:
- Knowledge of the IBM DOORS tool or an equivalent for requirements management.
- Knowledge of ECSS and CCSDS standards.
- Relevant experience with L0/L1/L2 processing software for Earth Observation missions, either for operations/maintenance or specification and development.
The official languages of EUMETSAT are English and French. The working language for the position is English and therefore the consultants must be able to work effectively in this language.
This position opens the opportunity to work at a recognised international institution, key player in the Space and Earth Observation sector and with very challenging projects.
