Copernicus Data Processing Operations Engineer

EUMETSAT is Europe’s meteorological satellite agency. Its role is to establish and operate meteorological satellites to monitor the weather and climate from space – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This information is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation’s Member States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide.

EUMETSAT will also operate, on behalf of the European Union, Copernicus satellites and instruments (Sentinel-3, Sentinel-4, Sentinel-5, Sentinel-6 and Sentinel-7) to provide data and support services to Copernicus users on marine information, atmospheric composition and climate change.

Reporting to the Copernicus Data Processing Team Leader, the Copernicus Data Processing Operations Engineer conducts and supports operations of the data processing and product extraction systems for Copernicus missions exploited by EUMETSAT, and supports the evolutions of those systems. The Copernicus Data Processing Operations Engineer will also support the coordination of the operations build up for the Copernicus Sentinel-7/CO2M mission, the Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring mission.
