One of our UK Space clients is looking for a Senior Opto Mechanical Engineer Responsible for contributing to Optomechanical system design. Key Purpose of Job To strengthen the Opto Mechanical Design Teams engineering capability. The role will involve all phases in the evolution of optical instrumentation for space flight Key Tasks Mechanical Engineering Tasks Working within the OptoMechanical design team and with optical, electronic and Systems Engineers to develop working designs for optical systems. Optomechanical system design from initial concept to detailed final design using 3D modelling tools. Complete manufacturing drawings to enable the designs to be manufactured Undertake integration of the mechanical components in the clean rooms, support optical and environmental testing. Maintain a design log, summarising each step in the design, development test process. Analysis Tasks Undertake thermal, static and dynamic structural analysis of components and at system level in collaboration with the Senior Mechanical Analyst. Analyse optical element surface deflections and provide feedback to optical design engineers. General Tasks Management of Work Packages Plan test campaigns, conduct manage tests, analyse and present results Detailed project planning Support manufacturing activities Develop the Bill of Materials to allow the MRP system to reflect the completed instrument Qualifications A good degree in Mechanical Engineering. Experience. Demonstrate experience of the design, build and test of optomechanical systems, preferably as applied to space optical payloads.
