Aalyria Technologies, Inc, Livermore, California, United States, 94551
About Aalyria:
Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking software platforms to the aerospace industry. With technology acquired from Google, Aalyria is at the forefront of innovation in the field of satellite and airborne mesh networks, as well as cislunar and deep space communications. We are revolutionizing the orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks using any radio or optical spectrum, any orbit and any hardware across land, sea, air and space.
Role Overview:
The Opto-Mechanical Assembly and Test Technician assembles products comprising optical, mechanical, and electronic components including the assembly, test and qualification of electro-optical instruments, components, and systems. Documenting procedures and providing real time feedback to engineering is required. This position would be joining our Tightbeam team. Tightbeam, is a cutting-edge laser communications system that is capable of connecting land, sea, air and space targets across vast distances, with high reliability and with data-rates previously unachievable (100s of Gbps).
