Ventajas ofrecidas por este puesto de trabajo

null

Descripción de la vacante

ESA's Earth Observation Projects Department in Noordwijk invites a university student to contribute to CHIME Enhanced Spatial Detection Capabilities. You will explore imaging spectroscopy and spatial enhancement in hyperspectral data, developing simulations and prototypes under expert guidance.

You will engage in end-to-end evaluation of spatial performance, instrument effects, and processing algorithms, reporting results to mission scientists and industrial teams.

Formación

• Must be a university student, preferably in final or second-to-last year of a Master's programme.
• Background in physics, applied mathematics, Earth observation, signal processing or aerospace engineering.
• Experience with Python, numerical modelling and statistical analysis.
• Familiarity with uncertainty propagation, sensitivity analysis or imaging spectroscopy is an asset.

Responsabilidades

• Review the baseline pixel-binning approach and the telescope, spectrometer and pixel contributions to spatial performance.
• Develop a simulation and prototype processing algorithm.
• Evaluate sensitivity to noise, channel misregistration and differences in scene content between wavelengths.
• Quantify spatial improvement alongside any loss of radiometric accuracy or spectral fidelity.
• Document expected improvements and limitations of the proposed approach.
• Test the methods using representative mission scenarios and discuss results with mission scientists and industrial simulator teams.
