Internship in Real-time services and System Operations Division
European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)
Intern Internship Close on 3 Nov 2025
Internship title: Creation of an Operations Dataflow Diagram
In support of 24/7 operational systems and services, we are looking for a motivated intern to work on the creation of an Operations Dataflow Diagram using an online tool, potentially using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) solution such as Enterprise Architect.
The intern will investigate tools and methodologies in order to create a new Operations Dataflow Diagram, which is a visual representation that shows how data and information flow between different facilities/systems involved in a satellite mission. For instance, showing the path that satellite data follows between Ground Stations, Mission Control Centre, Data Processing Centre and End-Users. These diagrams help the teams understand the relationships and dependencies between the different parts of the system, which is crucial for bringing clarity to the missions, identifying inefficiencies and managing future changes.
The internships are open to bachelor and master students with mandatory internship requirements in relevant disciplines such as computing, engineering, or a related technical discipline.
The official languages of EUMETSAT are English and French. It is necessary to be able to work effectively in English.
3 November 2025
Additional specific requirements:
Length of internship: 3 months
Anticipated start date: 2026
The internship will require a non-disclosure agreement and potentially a basic background check for the intern, due to the sensitivity of the provided information.
No salary is paid to interns who are still in studies, however a daily allowance and contribution to travel / accommodation costs may be provided.
As of 1 January 2026, interns may be granted a daily allowance of EUR 25 per day, relocation cost reimbursement of up to EUR 400, and accommodation cost reimbursement of up to EUR 1000 per month.
