Careers
We recruit at all levels, but professionals with high-quality international experience in astronomical instrumentation and systems integration are particularly sought. Our team is small, close-knit and happy, with excellent opportunities for professional growth.
What skills are we looking for?
If you are in the optics business and look at our track record of projects, your own experience will indicate what expertise and skills are likely to be the most valuable to us. We focus on design and fabrication of complex optical systems requiring precision assembly and alignment.
Entry level positions for those with no prior optics experience are also available. We will train and provide a long-term career in the sector. All you need is some basic skill of hand and a willingness to learn. Aptitude and enthusiasm are key.
Working in New Zealand
If you are living in New Zealand, a New Zealander living overseas, or someone considering emigration to this great country, and you are looking to work in a field that provides international work and high-level challenges, KiwiStar Optics would like to talk to you.
We are located in Wellington, a harbour-side jewel and the country’s cultural capital, home to many museums, theatres and arts festivals and a leading centre for creative industries. Over one-third of Wellington residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher qualification – the highest proportion in the country.
