EUMETSAT operates a series of Copernicus Sentinel satellites on behalf of the European Commission, providing data used to monitor various components of the Earth System. For specific applications, such as climate monitoring, a consistent time series needs to be built from a number of instruments covering the whole mission lifetime, of which each dataset must be of the highest quality. This quality is achieved by means of data reprocessing to use the best algorithms and most up-to-date data. The work is often coordinated internationally and requires internal collaboration and planning between scientists and engineers.
The Copernicus Reprocessing Coordinator will plan, coordinate and implement mass data processing activities for Copernicus mission data, including interactions with the community of users on their needs. The successful candidate will work within the Climate Team of the User Support and Climate Services Division, which produces reprocessed data records, has strong experience in data processing and holds the coordination role for EUMETSAT’s reprocessing activities.
