Senior Optomechanical Engineer

About Us: SuperSharp Space Systems Ltd is at the forefront of in-orbit optics, developing cutting-edge optical systems that push the boundaries of innovation. We are seeking an experienced, practical, hands-on Senior Optomechanical Engineer to join our team and help drive the development and testing of our existing optical products and assist with future design work. Role Overview: As a Senior Optomechanical Engineer, you will have responsibilities in developing high precision optical and mechanical systems from concept through integration, verification, and delivery . You will work closely with cross-functional teams (e.g. electronics and software) to ensure successful prototyping, testing, and deployment of our products. This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct line management responsibilities, but with technical leader/ownership and mentoring expectations. Key Responsibilities: Contribute to the development of optomechanical systems and components from early concept through flight-ready hardware. Lead hands-on lab testing, including actively contributing to alignment, integration, and characterization of optical assemblies. Supervise work of technicians and provide day-to-day technical guidance during integration and test activities. Develop and execute experimental setups and test procedures, integrating instrumentation and control using Python or other scripting tools. Create and modify 3D CAD models for components, assemblies, and prototypes with appropriate tolerancing for precision manufacture and alignment. Use optical design tools, e.g. Zemax, to analyze and optimize system performance and correlate optical models with measured test data.. Collaborate with optical, mechanical, and software engineers to ensure seamless integration of subsystems. Document designs, test plans, and results clearly both for internal teams and external stakeholders in line with industry standards. Work with optical component suppliers including technical discussions, drawing reviews, and support to procurement and inspection activities.. Support environmental testing activities (e.g. vibration, thermal vacuum) and subsequent performance verification. Contribute to the design of future optomechanical systems and components.
