0.6 FTE (21 hours per week) Part time fixed term for 12 months based at Camperdown Campus gain hands-on experience working on a cutting-edge space mission alongside leading engineers and researchers Base Salary $107,312 - $115,686 (pro-rata) + 17% superannuation About the opportunity The TOLIMAN Space Telescope is an ambitious international space mission led by the University of Sydney, designed to search for planets orbiting Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbouring star system. The mission combines cutting-edge optics, precision mechatronics, advanced electronics, spacecraft engineering, and data science to achieve astrometric measurements at unprecedented levels of precision. To accomplish this, a unique optical system has been developed that uses a diffractive mask to imprint a highly stable optical ruler onto the telescope image, enabling the detection of minute stellar motions caused by orbiting planets. To make this measurement possible, several novel and highly precise engineering systems are being developed, including advanced fine-pointing mechanisms, thermal control systems, precision electronics, and specialised flight instrumentation. The mission is progressing rapidly toward spacecraft integration and testing ahead of its planned 2027-28 launch window, and an exciting opportunity exists to join the engineering team during this critical phase of development. Your key responsibilities are to are to support the design, development, build, documentation and testing of key mission hardware including: the TOLIMAN tip-tilt fine pointing mechanism and associated electronics assisting with mission payload thermal control and monitoring electronics supporting prototype and flight model engineering hardware development developing and maintaining laboratory test setups and supporting infrastructure collaborating closely with experienced team members including the mission chief engineer and electronics lead contributing to subsystem development and validation under guidance About you currently an advanced undergraduate, final-year student, master's student, or early-career engineer/technician strong hands-on experience in electronics including circuit design, assembly, and testing experience working with mechatronic systems and mechanical prototyping/assembly demonstrated experience with PCB schematic design and layout experience working in laboratory or experimental environments ability to work independently and take initiative in a fast-paced environment ability to rapidly prototype and validate mechatronics concepts strong problem-solving skills and practical engineering judgement ability to quickly understand complex systems with minimal supervision strong documentation and communication skills commitment to safe laboratory practices and engineering procedures Desirable experience: embedded systems development (C/C++) firmware development and debugging modelling, simulation, and data analysis using Python and/or MATLAB experience with thermistor sensors, piezoelectric actuators, infrared cameras, or precision sensors familiarity with closed-loop control systems experience with sensor characterisation and calibration familiarity with laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes, DAQ systems, and power supplies competence in fine-pitch soldering and PCB/PCA rework experience with precision mechanisms or opto-mechanical systems exposure to thermal control systems or thermal engineering hardware experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Inventor familiarity with Git or version control systems experience with Altium Designer or equivalent exposure to space, aerospace, scientific instrumentation, or high-reliability environments Work Rights You must have unrestricted work rights in Australia for the duration of this employment to apply.
