About Xiomas
Our team has spent decades building airborne and spaceborne imaging instruments. They spot wildfires and pollution from the air, and we are building one for NASA to study the weather on Mars. That research continues, and it now feeds our first commercial products.
Overview
We are hiring an engineer to service, build and test our instruments, and to work with the suppliers who make their parts.
When a customer sends an instrument back, you find what failed and why, fix it, verify it, and keep the customer updated. Faults often cross electrical, mechanical and optical parts. Some of our instruments have been in service for decades, so faults can take real investigation.
The rest of the week goes to building and testing new units with our design engineers. Each unit is built and tested by hand. You work out assembly details with them and bring design questions back, order the parts, and keep the build on schedule.
