Your mission

As aSystems Engineer, you will be the one of the key team members in designing, developing, and maintaining state of the art instruments. From supporting the design of the optical frontend to managing testing and calibration of the systems, you will ensure accuracy and performance. You will collaborate with other engineers and scientists to create an impeccable system that consistently meets customer expectations.

You are essential to AIRMO's success - together with our engineering team, you will be at the helm of designing the core of our optical instrument. Your impact will be felt in our ability to accurately measure performance. The following are the responsibilities of the payload instrumentation scientist:

Trace the requirements for payload instrumentations, parts, components, or subsystems
Define technical specifications for optical systems, subsystems, equipment, and verification strategies
Define and conduct or manage trade studies/analysis to support optical and opto-mechanical design decisions
Define and develop or manage optical design processes and tools as well as core competencies and key technologies for the optical system
Coordinate optical design, development, integration, and test activities with other engineering disciplines and AIRMO technical managersPerform design and execute analysis, tolerancing, and simulation of optical systems
Perform technical work in the project in cooperation with engineering, system engineering, AIT, and procurement. If required, execute tasks from these areas according to expertise
Lead and/or support internal and subcontractor reviews, proposals, and cost estimates of internal projects

Your profile

The ideal candidate for this position should have completed studies in the field of optics/opto-electronics, physics, engineering, or an equivalent qualification. Other essential attributes include:

Long-time professional experience in space optics
Strong knowledge in optics with significant expertise in optical modelling and simulation, especially in the field of spectrometers and lasers over the spectral wavelengths range from Vis to IR
