About the Role

Macquarie University is seeking an exceptional Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our team at Australian Astronomical Optics - Macquarie (AAO-MQ). As a key member of our team, you will play a lead role in developing and delivering precision opto-mechanical elements of significant scientific instruments for use on international astronomy facilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the opto-mechanical engineering design and delivery of projects, from inception and design through fabrication, testing, assembly, commissioning and handover.
  • Ensure the thorough documentation and detailing of all opto-mechanical project elements, including design, fabrication artefacts and plans.
  • Work closely with Project Managers to ensure the delivery of project artefacts on time, on budget and to agreed specifications.
  • Provide mentoring, advice, and guidance to other engineers in the team, and work collaboratively with other AAO teams and international consortium partners to resolve engineering and technical challenges.
  • Develop, analyse, and manage specific concepts, systems and project subsystems, and ensure delivery to agreed project timelines.

About You

You will have completed a Master's or Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline. 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 are highly valued.

You are an excellent communicator with a proactive nature, flexible, and you enjoy working individually or as part of a larger team.

About Us

AAO-MQ works in a matrix structure with close collaboration across all its functional groups. There is a strong emphasis on communities of practice and a shared culture of learning and innovation. As part of our expansive new vision, AAO-MQ's team of experts will build on the University's existing strengths in astronomy, photonics, laser technology, microfabrication, applied optics and sensing communications, with the aim of increasing industry engagement, identifying opportunities to apply AAO-MQ's expertise to medicine and defence, and expanding its presence in the fields of optics and sensing, in addition to the ongoing mission of world-leading excellence in astronomical instrumentation.
