You will have deep and broad experience as a specialist technical Mechanical Engineer with excellent skills in opto-mechanical modelling, analysis and CAD design as well as mechanical drawing and the full production lifecycle from manufacture, assembly integration and test through to commissioning and client handover.

You will be experienced in opto-mechanics for scientific or technical instrumentation or very closely related fields. Experience working on telescopes, in vacuum and cryogenic precision instrumentation, FEA, thermal and vibration analysis and management and working knowledge of Zemax optical analysis all highly valued.

About Us

Over many decades, AAO has established an enviable reputation for its precision engineering capability and expertise within astronomy instrumentation across optical, mechanical and electronic precision engineering.

We are excited to take a significant role in leading and growing Australia's strength in astronomical instrumentation, partnering with the Australian National University and the University of Sydney under the banner of Astralis Instrumentation Consortium.
