As a Systems Engineer in the Optics department you will guide the development and realisation of optical systems. These systems range in size from very large telescopes to tiny photonic integrated circuits (PICs) on a microchip. The successful creation of high-quality optical systems requires technical leadership and insight into the elements of the system as well as the interaction between these elements. These elements are not only products (hardware and/or software and/or firmware) but also processes, people and information.As a Systems Engineer you will be responsible for:Connecting all necessary disciplines within the project team.The technical project result.Successful delivery of the system.Minimising technical risks.Satisfied customers and other stakeholders.Steering the development of technology roadmaps.Actively contributing to the acquisition of new projects.Contributing to the professionalisation of Systems Engineering in TNO.Proactive identification, and bringing forward, of new opportunities.
