Optical AIT Engineer

• Job Location: Munich, Germany
• Type: Permanent
• Posted: 14/01/2022

Your tasks:

•Responsible to produce the required theoretical optical performance of the real existing space instrument flight hardware in the clean room
•Cooperate with other groups of the AIT using the hardware procured by other entities of the company
•Responsible for the optical alignment and test of optical instruments as well as defining and procurement of the needed tooling OGSE (Optical ground support Equipment) while observing the given frame of the project cost and schedule
•Involved in most stages of the project, from quotation, inputs to design and AIV engineering as we as support to procurement of flight hardware and performance engineering. This is important to enable an efficient AIT and AIV process in the realization phases of the project
