SENIOR OPTO-MECHANICAL ENGINEER

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and integration of opto-mechanical subsystems for advanced laser and electro-optics systems, including optical mounts, enclosures, alignment mechanisms, thermal management, and vibration isolation


• Perform tolerance, structural, and thermal analyses using simulation tools to ensure mechanical stability and robustness of design


• Oversee the fabrication, assembly, and precision alignment of opto-mechanical subsystems, ensuring manufacturability and field readiness


• Perform prototyping, integration, environmental testing, ruggedisation, and optimisation for mobile or fixed deployment platforms


• Collaborate with system, electronics, and optical engineers to ensure mechanical designs meet performance and operational requirements


• Develop and maintain comprehensive and accurate technical documentation, including design records, test reports, and validation data, ensuring compliance with configuration management and industry standards

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent


• Minimum 5 years of experience in opto-mechanical design for precision systems, preferably in defense, aerospace, or photonics industries


• Strong background in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) and FEA tools (ANSYS, COMSOL)


• Familiar with optical alignment methods, thermal and vibration management for sensitive optical assemblies


• Hands-on experience in optical alignment and integration is strongly preferred


• Deep understanding of optical-mechanical interface requirements


• Structured, detail-oriented mindset for engineering documentation and system integration


• Strong collaboration skills to work across optical, electronics, and systems teams


• Proactive in problem-solving and field support during testing or deployment
