• Conduct optical alignment and calibration, working closely with optical and system engineers to ensure high\-precision setup.


• Prepare AIT documentation, including test procedures, integration workflows, reports and as\-run procedures.


• Handle critical assemblies, including optical mounts, structural elements, and Ground Support Equipment (GSE).


• Participate in night observation campaigns and system verification tests under real sky conditions.


• Support technical reviews and meetings, contributing to design improvement feedback based on hands\-on test results.


• Coordinate with logistics and operations teams for the setup and support of site installation missions globally.

• Degree (Bachelor or Master) in Engineering, Aerospace, Physics or related fields.


• At least 2 years of professional experience in AIT or system integration environments.


• Practical experience with mechanical and optical handling and alignment.


• Basic proficiency with 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA).
