Full Job Description

Job details

Engineering

Phoenix , San Francisco

Full-time

$140,000 USD - $180,000 USD

Role

Own the productization of compact pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) optomechanical subsystems for Azora's modular optical ground stations and space terminals. You will guide the process of fine-steering and coarse-pointing systems from commercial prototype through field qualification, ensuring microradian-class stability no matter the weather or platform where the Azora systems are located.

Responsibilities

Design optomechanical assemblies for beam steering: gimbals, fast-steering mirrors (FSMs), telescope mounts, relay optics, and fiber-coupling stages.
Perform structural, thermal, and STOP (structural-thermal-optical performance) analysis to verify line-of-sight stability and wavefront error budgets.
Develop pointing error budgets covering base motion, jitter, thermal drift, and control-loop residuals, and flow them down to component requirements.
Design, select and qualify actuators, encoders, bearings, and flexures for ground and space environments.
Lead alignment, integration, and test of optical assemblies in the field.
Support acquisition and tracking field campaigns at ground station sites, including troubleshooting under real atmospheric conditions.
Work closely with software, electrical and network engineers to close the loop between lab-based mechanical design and to autonomous optical communications with space assets.

Required Qualifications

BSc or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
3+ years of optomechanical design experience for precision optical systems (laser communications, telescopes, directed energy, or similar).
Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or similar) and FEA tools (ANSYS, Nastran, or similar).
Hands-on experience aligning and testing optical assemblies in a lab environment.
Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and precision machining practices.

Preferred

Experience with fast-steering mirrors, gimbal design, or telescope pointing systems.
Familiarity with STOP analysis workflows and optical design tools (Zemax/OpticStudio, CODE V).
Experience qualifying hardware for launch and on-orbit environments (vibration, shock, thermal vacuum).
Field experience with optical ground stations or astronomical instrumentation.

Location

This is an onsite/hybrid role based in Tempe, AZ or the Bay Area, CA – hardware work that’s hard to do remotely. Some travel expected for field deployment and vendor/manufacturing visits.

Benefits:

Generous equity
Competitive healthcare (including options for vision and dental)
401(k)
Unlimited PTO

EEO & Reasonable Accommodations

Azora is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Salary ranges are based on the following criteria:

Final salary is based on geographic location, experience, skills, and qualifications.

About this Company

Azora is building high-bandwidth communications infrastructure for environments where fiber can’t reach. This work spans LEO spacecraft constellations, lunar exploration missions, GEO satcom, deployable optical ground for defense, and data centers both on- and off-world. To enable rapid global proliferation Azora is developing compact and modular optical terminals small enough to deploy from a backpack, and space terminals that support high speed optical links from LEO out to the Moon.
