JOB OFFERS
Application Interface Engineer
The Data Processing System and Scientific and Technological Application group hosts the engineers, physicists and mathematicians who oversee the space mission data systems from definition to end of operations; it develops and maintains the data systems aimed at mission support and the execution of science operations on ground; it integrates scientific application and develop technological application to support; it archives and manages their data during operations and beyond. Moreover, the group is involved in the post-mission data exploitation in order to create application devoted to maximize the information value extracted from collected data.
DUTIES
You will be in charge of all engineering aspects of defining, implementing and / or integrating and validating scientific and technological applications in areas such as solar physics, astrophysics and space weather.
You will be part of the team that is in charge of data processing operations aspects preparation, validation and execution of data processing operations under the ALTEC responsibility.
You will work in close collaboration with the data engineers, data scientists, mission operators and infrastructure engineer during project phases.
You will be expected to be the main interface to the community of application end-users and will have to manage the technical interactions with them during the execution of projects.
