Full Job Description

Casual Technical Officer (Tip-Tilt & Thermal Systems) - TOLIMAN Space Mission
Casual position starting ASAP – based in the Physics Building (A28)
HE06 Step 1 $73.45p/hour Plus Super
Must be an advanced undergraduate or final-year student / Master’s student / early-career engineer / technician

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 will be

Core responsibility is to support the design, development, build, documentation and testing of key mission hardware, including:

TOLIMAN Tip-Tilt fine pointing mechanism and associated electronics
