Design the optics that shape how we see Earth from space

At SATLANTIS, we design advanced Optics and space technologies with one clear purpose: solving general challenges from above. From concept to orbit, our payloads deliver high-performance Earth observation data that supports sustainability, security, and scientific progress.

As an Optics Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and validating Optical systems for space instrumentation, transforming requirements into robust, flight-ready solutions that perform flawlessly in orbit.

What’s in it for you:
- Mission-driven Optics engineering: Your designs will become part of real satellite missions, contributing directly to how our planet is observed from space.
- End-to-end technical ownership: Take Optical systems from early trade-offs and simulations to AIV and validation, seeing the full lifecycle of your work.
- Challenging technical environment: Work on complex Optical systems across VIS, SWIR, and thermal ranges, where precision truly matters.
- Flexible working hours:



Autonomy and trust are core to how we work and collaborate.
- Private health insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage so you can focus on what matters most.
- Collaborative and international context: Engage with customers, suppliers, and multidisciplinary teams across borders.

Your mission:
Your mission will be to design, analyze, and validate high-performance Optical systems for space instruments, ensuring they meet demanding technical requirements and deliver reliable performance throughout the mission lifetime.

Your work will directly impact the quality, robustness, and success of SATLANTIS’ Optical payloads in orbit.

You will:
- Design Optical systems based on instrument-level requirements, balancing performance, feasibility, and robustness.
- Study and evaluate different Optical design configurations, selecting optimal solutions through trade-off analyses.
- Perform detailed Optical simulations and
