Formed in 1986 and comprising 17 European member states, EUMETSAT‘s role is to establish, operate and exploit European meteorological satellite systems. Data from these systems are not only essential for precise and accurate weather forecasting:
they also assist global observation and climatological programmes and directly benefit national economies by enabling marine, agricultural, aviation and other industries to plan and act more effectively.
EUMETSAT’s geostationary satellite programmes include the continuation of the current Meteosat system with a Meteosat Second Generation(MSG).
The first MSG satellite was launched in August 2002, to provide continuity and improvement of the service well into the next decade.
The second MSG satellite is
to be launched in 2005 and the third MSG satellite at the nominal end of life of MSG-1.
Preparation is under way for a fourth MSG satellite. In addition to these two geostationary systems,
an entirely new Low Earth Orbit (LEO system is under
development within the
framework of the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) programme. EPS will provide the operational meteorological satellite service delivering earth observation data for
extraction of meteorological and climate monitoring products starting from 2006.

The role of the Requirements Process Engineer is to provide support in establishing end-user and other high level requirements for future EUMETSAT Geostationary and Low Earth Orbit Satellite
Programmes, during Phase 0 and Phase A. This will include the generation of Mission Requirements Documents and preliminary
and consolidated End-User Requirements Documents for the post-Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) and post-EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) Programmes.
The successful candidate will have a University degree in engineering or equivalent, with a minimum of five years‘ experience in space segments, software or ground segment development projects, or in other complex co-operative scientific projects.
Good knowledge of requirements engineering and requirements management standards and techniques (e.g. relevant ECSS standards) is necessary. Experience in a similar position in system engineering, preferably in earth observation and/or scientific projects involving space and ground segments, together with experience in requirements management and traceability tools, is essential. Fluency in either English or French, together with a good working knowledge of the other language is necessary.
Based in Darmstadt, the post is offered on an initial four-year contract. Further information on the position and salary details can be found on the EUMETSAT web site: www.eumetsat.de.
