THE ROLE

Australian Astronomical Optics - Macquarie (AAO-MQ) is seeking an exceptional Senior Mechanical Engineer who will take a lead role developing and delivering precision opto-mechanical elements of significant scientific instruments for use on international astronomy facilities.

Be responsible for ensuring the thorough documentation and detailing of all opto-mechanical project elements including the design, fabrication artefacts and plans, including test, assembly, quality and project plans for components, sub-assemblies and final deliverables.

Work closely with relevant 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 in 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 have a passion in analysis for precision mechanical engineering and an enthusiasm for ensuring high quality product and design documentation.

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