Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or postgraduate diploma in Optical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Typically 5–10 years of professional engineering experience, including significant optical, electro-optical, or imaging systems engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience analysing optical or imaging-system performance at instrument or system level.
- Experience with imaging performance characteristics such as MTF/OTF, spatial resolution, SNR, radiometry, detector performance, spectral response, focus, distortion, or calibration.
- Experience interpreting engineering requirements, performance models, verification evidence, test results, and measured performance data.
- Experience investigating complex or unexpected optical or imaging-system behaviour.
- Experience working across engineering disciplines, particularly optics, detector/electronics, mechanical, thermal, firmware, or systems engineering.
- Demonstrated experience communicating directly with customers, partners, suppliers, or other external technical stakeholders.
- Experience presenting technical analysis, findings, and recommendations to multidisciplinary stakeholders.
- Experience taking ownership of technically ambiguous problems and driving them toward resolution.
- Willingness to travel locally and internationally for customer meetings, technical reviews, integration activities, and engineering support.
- Flexibility to support time-critical customer, mission, or technical issues when necessary.
Responsibilities
- Act as a primary technical interface for customers on optical payload integration, imaging performance, operation, and complex investigations.
- Analyse electro-optical imaging-system performance at instrument and mission level.
- Investigate anomalous system behaviour across optical, detector, electronic, firmware, thermal, mechanical, calibration, and operational domains.
- Diagnose performance and operational issues across system and subsystem boundaries using evidence and engineering analysis.
- Own complex technical investigations from problem definition through analysis, recommendation, and closure.
- Coordinate specialist input from Optical, Electronics, Firmware, Mechanical, Systems, Production, or Product Engineering teams.
- Translate customer observations and mission concerns into engineering problem statements and actionable recommendations.
- Document technical solutions, findings, lessons learned, and recurring system behaviour.
- Support and mentor team members in structured investigation, systems thinking, and customer-facing engineering communication.
