This internship deals with remote sensing data processing and software development (mixed scientific and engineering task) for Earth Observation missions. As an intern (d/f/m) you will learn about engineering in a cross-disciplinary and international team, Earth observation from space and space science methods, software development in a mixed science and industry context, professional software development (algorithm development and test, code hygiene, performance optimization, testing tool-chain, build chains).

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Understanding the Measurement Concept of the Earth Observation payload and its data processing concept
• Design, prototyping and analysis of algorithms for the geometric, radiometric and spectral processing of remote sensing data from space born instruments (imager, radar, sounder)
• Ability to identify the activities of the development life cycle that are necessary to develop a system/product and provide the level of confidence which is consistent with regulation and program requirements.

• Enrolled full-time student (d/f/m) within aerospace or numerical engineering, natural sciences, physics, mathematics, software engineering or similar field of study
• Basic experience in Matlab or Python
• Experience in the domain of Numerical Analysis/Computational Physics is an asset
• Experience in version control systems (e.g. git) and collaborative workflow is an asset
• German or English: fluent.
