The Role This is a system-level role, but not a purely theoretical one. You will be responsible for defining, developing, and integrating mechanical systems where performance depends on tight tolerances, interaction between sub-systems, and careful management of technical risk. You’ll work closely with mechanical design, analysis, optics, and manufacturing teams ensuring that individual components come together into a coherent, high-performing product. A key part of the role is maintaining a strong link between system-level thinking and physical reality understanding how design decisions translate into real-world performance.
