The post holder will work within project teams to assist the development, build and test of instrument or subsystems for the laboratory's space projects. The work carried out will support either instrument development during the study phase of space programmes, fulfil instrument design requirements during the build phase or support mechanical test programmes. Other duties would include: working within project teams to gain an understanding of the design requirements and mechanical interfaces; the ability to assess the feasibility of a proposed design by evaluating different concepts; support instrument testing.
The post is funded for 2 years in the first instance.
