About the position

You will be responsible for leading the execution of projects including the Model, design and analysis of high-performance imaging hardware, specifically focusing on telescopes and optical elements assemblies. You will work with the optoelectronics team to design and validate designs through rigorous calibration and experimentation in our labs and plant. Your scope extends to the project's operational success, including designing, manufacturing, supplier development and the tracking of key development phases.

Location

Our labs are located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Remote work is acceptable depending on the stage of the projects and you will be coordinating availability with your manager according to Satellogic needs. This position requires a high availability to travel to our facility in Uruguay.

Responsibilities

- Technically and strategically lead the optical payload elements development activities.
- Be the primary technical point of contact responsible for the optical elements as filters and telescopes, interfacing with the Payload Subsystem Manager and other engineers (Optical, Mechanical, Thermal, electronics, etc).
- Interpret mission specific and spacecraft system level requirements and establish the baseline technical requirements for the optical elements.
- Provide technical support for operations.
- Prepare/update/present subsystem design analysis documentation for design reviews throughout the project life cycle milestones & reviews.




- Define with your team the integration and test plans and requirements for the optical elements development.
- Provide technical input to future payload developments and contribute to continuous improvement of products, systems and processes.
- Oversee the optical elements as telescopes manufacture and AIT activities.
- Manage any anomalies or non-conformances occurring throughout the project life cycle and present NCRs.
- Suggest improvements in optomechanical design to simplify manufacturing processes and improve manufacturing quality.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers in optomechanical design of space optical systems components.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers in the development of optical alignment, integration and calibration procedures.
- Collaborate with product managers on requirements and feasibility analysis of projects involving optical components or processes.
- Define with your team and engineer acceptance criteria, quality metrics and acceptance procedures for external suppliers.
- Partner with multiple suppliers to obtain the best product costing and quality and improve supply chain reliability.

Experience

- Degree in optical engineering, applied mathematics, mechanics, optomechanics, physics,



image processing or similar field of study or equivalent work experience.
- Experience executing complex engineering projects in a dynamic environment with tight deadlines.
- 5+ years of experience in optics, photography, laser engineering, sensors, camera design, optomechanics or similar.
- 3+ years leading projects.

Skills

- Advanced English proficiency levels.
- Capacity to learn continuously and passion for pushing the limits.
- Passion about lenses, telescopes, space photography and pushing the limits of current technologies.

What we value

- Experience / background with ray tracing optical design.
- Experience / background with opto-mechanical design.
- Experience in image processing techniques (basic).
- Availability to travel to suppliers (mainly in Europe) or manufacturing plant (in Uruguay) as required.
- Since the supply chain is critical for high-performance telescopes, experience in international contract management or quality auditing for external optical components is valued.
- Management experience and project management.

Diversity Commitment

Satellogic values diversity and inclusion and is an equal opportunity employer. We are convinced that hiring and developing top talent from around the world for any given discipline will drive innovation, generate new solutions, and deliver a superior product to our general customer base.
