ANALYST - ENGINEER - RESEARCH ENGINEER - Optomechanical Syst - Southwest Research Institute
Boulder, CO
About the Job
Description:
Who We Are:
As a recognized leader in space science research and spacecraft
instrumentation, avionics, and electronics, we work to reveal the
secrets of our solar system and the universe.
Objectives of this Role:
This position will participate in the research and development of
experimental, laser-based, spaceflight instrumentation enabling in-situ
geochronology investigations across the Solar System.
Work in multidisciplinary laboratory environment to design, build, and
optimize novel spacecraft instrumentation for scientific missions to the moon
and beyond.
Contribute to the design, development, and hands-on fabrication,
assembly, integration, and test of instrumentation systems from concept to
flight instrument delivery.
Support senior R&D personnel in cutting edge research involving pulsed
lasers, mass spectrometry and high-speed data acquisition systems.
Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:
Work with scientific personnel to design, build, and test laser-based
instrumentation capable of in-situ isotopic geochronology.
Hands-on work with of Class IIIb/Class IV pulsed and CW lasers, ultra-high
vacuum systems, pressurized gases, cryogens and high-voltage systems.
Typical duties will involve the formulation and implementation of approaches
to solving a wide array of experimental flight hardware problems - focused on
the design, assembly and control of mechanical and electrical systems for
data collection.
Collaborate in the design, fabrication and performance validation of various
optomechanical systems and interfacing with external vendors to procure
instrumentation hardware, system sub-components and laboratory test equipment.
Experimental data collection in an optical laboratory environment, LabView
data acquisition and control system development, and CAD modeling of new
hardware assemblies.
Requirements:
Requires a Bachelors or a Masters or a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Systems
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical
Engineering, Engineering Physics, Applied Physics or a related engineering
fiel
1 year: Those with a PhD: experience with optomechanics, lasers, and
high vacuum systems. Academic or professional experience working in a
laboratory environment.
1-3 years: Those with a BS or MS: experience with optomechanics,
lasers, and high vacuum systems. Academic or professional experience working
in a laboratory environment.
1 year: Demonstrated experience in building experimental systems,
scientific instruments or engineering test beds.
A valid/clear driver's license is required.
Special Requirements:
Work assignment is in Boulder, Colorado. Must be a U.S. person (i.e.,
U.S. citizen, non-U.S. citizen national, lawful permanent resident,
asylee, or refugee) due to ITAR work in section.
Job Locations: Boulder, Colorado
Salary Range: $64,459.00 - $131,061.00
