The Optronics Engineer will lead the design and development of next-generation electro-optical systems. This strategic role involves defining the system architecture, evaluating key technology options, and leading the development of solutions. You will be responsible for bringing together a range of technologies—such as optics, image sensors, processing electronics, stabilisation mechanisms, and control algorithms—into a coherent, integrated system that meets stringent performance and environmental requirements.

In this role, you will be responsible for: Lead the Electro-Optical Design Studies, including architecture definition, technology trade-offs, and performance evaluation. Define high-level system requirements and decompose them into subsystem specifications. Develop models and simulations to predict system performance in operational environments. Conduct technology assessments and propose suitable solutions across optics, sensors, electronics, and mechanics.

Collaborate with experts from our French parent company to integrate specialist knowledge into the local system design. Prepare and lead design reviews, technical documentation, and compliance assessments. Support supplier selection, integration planning, and system validation in lab environments. Contribute to risk analysis, cost estimation, and planning activities for future production. To be successful in this role you must have: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or related field.

Must hold at least a baseline security vetting on employment commencement, and ability to obtain NV1. 5 plus years of experience in the design and development of optronic or electro-optical systems (e.g. imaging payloads, stabilized gimbals, tracking systems, optical sensors). Demonstrated ability to lead technical design activities and manage system-level integration challenges. Strong understanding of optical system design, focal plane arrays (e.g.

MWIR, SWIR, LWIR), sensor electronics, image processing, and real-time systems. Familiarity with modelling and simulation tools
