Junior Software Engineer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated, talented Junior Software Engineer to join the Software Engineering Group at the Department of Space and Climate Physics (Mullard Space Science Laboratory - MSSL) of University College London (UCL).

The post holder will be a member of the MSSL Earth Observation (EO) Project team which has supported European Earth observation missions for more than 30 years: in particular using Radar instruments to measure Polar Ice. The European Space Agency (ESA) is now preparing a new polar EO mission for launch in 2027: The Copernicus Polar Ice and Snow Topography mission (CRISTAL). The CRISTAL mission follows on from CryoSat 2 - a mission proposed by UCL and supported throughout its life by the MSSL team. CRISTAL will carry a dual frequency Radar Altimeter and a Microwave Radiometer that will measure and monitor sea-ice thickness, overlying snow depth and ice-sheet elevations.

This post is for 2 years in the first instance, with the possibility for further extension during the development and operations phases of the CRISTAL mission.

For further enquires please contact Professor Steven Baker (steven.baker@ucl.ac.uk).
