Optical Communications Technician

Innovate to solve the world's most important challenges

Join a team that designs, develops, and integrates highly complex systems for space within Honeywell Aerospace. As an Optical Technician, you will work in a small cross-functional team of Mechanical, Optical, and Systems engineers collaborating on the design, development and implementation of space science instruments, technology and missions. A broad spectrum of optical and optomechanical elements, such as mirrors and mounts, to critical subsystems such as fore optics and detector assembly, and to full instruments with electronics and mechanisms will need to be assembled, integrated, and tested.

RESPONSIBILITES

• Participate as a key team member in the development of unique mechanical concepts for optics, optical mount, flexures, and structures with critical constraints that meet the demanding requirements of space applications.
• Support the development and build of hardware that is driven towards lower cost and higher volumes.
• Develop strategies and methods to be able to efficiently and quickly build and test systems and components that require critically precise alignment.
• Use optical test equipment to measure optical performance and optical alignments
• Support shock, vibration, and thermal testing of equipment
• Work in and maintain a cleanroom environment

The Honeywell building is a controlled goods program environment. Candidates must be eligible for CGP clearance.

YOU MUST HAVE

• Technical degree/diploma in a discipline such as Optics, Photonics, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in an assembly, integration, and test of hardware in an R&D environment
