Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom IC Resources Full time

Transformative free-space optical communications solutions for critical global challenges are being developed in Oxford by a cutting-edge team. Collaborate with aerospace primes, Space Agencies, and research partners in a fast-paced startup environment.

Your key responsibilities include designing and optimizing laser communication optical sub-systems, such as telescopes and relays, for extreme environments. Define requirements, perform trade-off analyses, model and validate systems, and serve as the subject matter expert for optical and photonic technologies. Ensure systems meet performance standards and collaborate with suppliers.

The ideal candidate should have expertise in optical system design, modeling, and trade studies using zemax. Hands-on experience testing and validating optical systems is also essential. The ability to design for extreme environments and mass-constrained applications, familiarity with complex systems (e.g., telescopes, optical relays) and image stabilization, and knowledge of photonic components such as lasers, detectors, and optical coatings are required.

A competitive salary (£60,000 - £80,000 per annum) along with equity options, flexible working arrangements, professional development opportunities, and a supportive culture make this role attractive. Please ensure your CV highlights relevant skills and qualifications.
