Intern in the Earth Observation Department, System Modelling for Satellite Onboard AI Functionality
European Space Agency
Internship Opportunity in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes.Location NoordwijkOur team and missionThis position is based at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) – Noordwijk, NetherlandsWithin the Earth Observations Projects Department, the Copernicus Sentinel Expansion missions are currently under development. One of those missions is the CHIME (Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment). CHIME plans to carry a unique visible to shortwave infrared spectrometer to provide routine hyperspectral observations to support new and enhanced services for sustainable agricultural and biodiversity management, as well as soil property characterisation.You will be able to join the CHIME project, participating as part of the system engineering and satellite engineering section in activities related to Onboard Satellite Artificial Intelligence Processing and the evaluation of end-to-end mission performances.Further details on the CHIME mission can be found at:

The SVM model will be trained on a labelled dataset of known debris types and non-debris regions. Hyperparameter tuning and feature selection will be conducted to optimize the SVM model’s performance.Part of the on-ground validation of this function will rely on generating representative marine datasets with the CHIME Scene Generator Module (SGM). Additionally, you will be responsible to define the reference scenes to ingest in the end-to-end simulator (E2E) and contribute to the validation of the SVM performances on a representative test bench with CHIME-like hyperspectral data.Part of your activities may involve support to the evaluation of system constraints for systematic acquisition of data over marine areas and for ad-hoc acquisition during night time.This approach will also allow to prototype L2 products for applications.
