Job Zusammenfassung
In dieser Rolle gestaltest du die Entwicklung und Optimierung von optischen Stationen für Satellitenkommunikation, insgesamt arbeitest du an Komponenten wie Teleskopen, Detektoren und Tracking-Systemen.
Deine Rolle im Team
- Contribute to the design, development, and manufacturing of our Optical Ground Stations for satellite-to-ground QKD links.
- Take ownership of subsystem design choices, including optical frontend, tracking systems, turbulance mitigation system, time-bin/phase and polarization analysis module, and single-photon detection modules.
- Work closely with experts in optics, electronics, control systems, and quantum communications to deliver robust, high-performance OGS solutions.
- Integrate and optimize components such as telescopes, tracking cameras, beacon lasers, quantum receivers, polarization optics, and timing/synchronization modules.
- Plan and execute laboratory verification, field testing, and link characterization campaigns for OGS prototypes and deployed systems.
- Contribute to and maintain system requirements, optical budgets, interface definitions, and architecture documentation.
- Perform system-level modeling and analysis of link performance (attenuation, turbulence, pointing/tracking error budgets, synchronization).
- Support on-site installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of OGS systems at customer locations or demonstration sites.
- Prepare technical documentation, test reports, interface specifications, and customer deliverables.
- Collaborate across several mission and technology projects simultaneously, ensuring consistent architectural and performance standards.
