Lead Optical Payload Engineer - Earth Observation

PassFort; Barcelona; Presencial; EUR 60.000 - 90.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Open Cosmos in Barcelona is seeking an Optical Systems Engineer to lead development of optical payloads for Earth observation missions, taking ownership from concept to launch and in-orbit operations.

You will collaborate across engineering teams, suppliers and partners to deliver high-performance missions, focusing on image quality, system budgets and CONOPS, with responsibilities from requirements through testing and commissioning.

Formación

• Strong capability in optical space systems, Earth observation and remote sensing.
• Ability to develop optical payloads from concept through to commissioning.
• Deep understanding of image quality metrics and budgets (MTF, SNR, resolution, detectors).
• Knowledge of optical system manufacturing, alignment, calibration and testing.
• Strong systems engineering capability (requirements, CONOPS, system budgets, FMECA/FDIR).
• Understanding of satellite subsystems and multidisciplinary engineering environments.

Responsabilidades

• Own end-to-end development of optical payloads from requirements to in-orbit commissioning.
• Act as the technical authority for optical payload work packages.
• Perform mission analysis and system design for optical Earth observation systems.
• Drive optical payload performance, managing image quality metrics.
• Lead design trade-offs to optimise performance, cost, risk and schedule.
• Plan and support AIT/AIV activities including optical alignment, calibration and testing.
• Coordinate engineering across satellite subsystems and external suppliers.
• Support technical proposals and new mission concepts.
