Full Job Description

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
