WORK HISTORY
Altimetry Systems Engineer @EUMETSAT
As EUMETSAT Altimetry Instrument System Engineer I’m following up the ESA led definition of requirements, design and development of altimeter instrument suites (altimeter, microwaveradiometer, orbit determination system), focusing on Sentinel 6 and future altimetry missions. The main duties are reported hereafter- Support the evaluation of new concepts for altimeter instrument suites by ESA, including theassessment of impacts of technology evolutions on the definition of future altimeter missions- Attend as an observer and support, as requested, the relevant Mission Advisory Group meetings- Support and follow up the ESA led design and development of altimeter instrument suites, andthe assessment of impacts at mission and system levels, including the assessment of: Instrument performance and operability requirements; Instrument compliance with mission and system level requirements; Results of on ground calibration, testing and qualification- Participate in major system, satellite, and instruments reviews as appropriate- Facilitate the appropriation of critical instrument information for data processing within the multidisciplinary EUMETSAT functional instrument chain team and operations preparation teams- Assess the specification and relevance to EUMETSAT of instrument related tools developed by ESA for the purpose of in orbit verification and commissioning of instrument and output products- Support the development of additional tools needed by EUMETSAT for calibration, commissioning and validation of operational Level 1 and Level 2 products- Support commissioning of instruments and end to end operability and performance validation, in close coordination with altimeter scientists and data processing experts- Participate in Anomaly Review Boards for instrument anomalies possibly affecting system performance or operations;
