Position:

Main Missions:

*

Develop optomechanical concepts from the upstream study phases (Phases A/B) to the flight model (Phases C/D). *

Size and design controlled-flexibility mechanical interfaces (Lecoflex, membranes, kinematic mounts) to minimize optical surface distortion (WFE). *

Perform CAD modeling (CATIA/Creo) and carry out finite element pre-analyses (thermo-optical/STOP analysis). *

Collaborate closely with optical metrology and cleanroom integration teams (ISO 5/ISO 7). *

Write technical documentation related to design reviews (PDR, CDR) and assembly and alignment procedures.

Profile:

*

Master's degree (Engineering School or Master 2) in mechanical engineering or optomechanics. *

3 to 5 years of experience within the space or high precision optics sector. *

Proficiency in CAD software and notions of structural calculation (Nastran, Femap, ANSYS). *

In-depth knowledge of space constraints (outgassing, vacuum, thermo-elasticity, vibration resistance). *

Technical English is imperative.
