Description
As an experienced Mechanical Designer at NOVA you will be responsible for the functionality of the mechanical design of astronomical instrumentation. This can be a spectrograph or infrared camera for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), or another type of instrument, such as an interferometer or polarimeter for other observatories. You will setup mechanical principles. Brainstorm in multidisciplinary teams, detail designs, do mechanical analysis with and without FEA, thermal analysis on basic parameters, detail drawings. Your work is done in close collaboration with project managers, systems engineers, optical designers and other engineers.
You will get to work on cutting edge technologies and innovative scientific instruments.
