● Master’s degree (MSc) optical engineering or related fields (electronics, photonics, signal

processing) or equivalent professional experience

● Experience in optical systems development: sizing, design trade-offs, optical power budgets.

● Understanding of radiometric models (visible, thermal). Ability to mathematically model

and/or interpret radiometric problems.

● Understanding of how detectors operate (CMOS, CCD, etc.): electro-optical properties, noise

modelling, etc.

● Exposure to real engineering problems involving optical sensors.

Things that are a bonus, but not a must

● At least 3 years of experience in relevant field

● Knowledge of space industry standards (ECSS)

● Familiarity with space electronics
