[26.02] Earth Observation Data Processing Systems C++ Software Engineer (m/f/d)

To support the growth of our activities at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt (Germany), we are looking for a Software Engineer with solid experience in C++ language (Java, Fortran or Python are an asset but not strictly required). The successful candidate will be deployed in a project team currently providing operations, maintenance and evolution support to several SW systems used for Earth Observation Data Processing. The tasks will therefore involve anomaly analysis and fixing, as well as implementation of improvement or new functions.

This will include, among other tasks

• SW integration and validation at subsystem and system level
• SW testing at unit and subsystem level
• SW maintenance and corrective evolution
• SW packaging, installation and configuration
• SW analysis and design (to add new functionalities to the legacy system)
• SW development and coding (for new functions as well as correction of legacy system anomalies)

It is essential that the candidates understand and accept that this is not a pure development position, nor a high-level solution architect job, nor anything involving AI or vibe coding or similar fancy. This position is focused on SW maintenance, that is, refining an already existing system and updating it whenever new mission requirements arise.
