Science

Advancing scientific frontiers with precision engineering

Trusted engineering partner for world-leading research facilities

Science is a driving force behind innovation, discovery and societal progress. At Sener, we provide advanced engineering solutions for the most demanding scientific projects, with a focus on Grandes Infraestructuras Científicas (GICs) for astronomy, fusion and particle physics. Our multidisciplinary expertise in optomechanics, precision mechanisms, RF systems and control electronics allows us to develop and deliver high-performance solutions tailored to the unique challenges of scientific exploration.

We support some of the most iconic science infrastructures in the world — from the European Southern Observatory’s (VLT, ELT, ALMA) and Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias to the ALBA synchrotron and Fusion programs. Our systems operate in extreme environments involving radiation, vacuum, cryogenics, earthquakes survival and magnetic fields, where precision and reliability are mandatory.

Custom-built mechanisms and instrumentation for telescopes, fusion and particle accelerators

Our contributions include large mirrors support systems, opto-mechanical instruments, radio-frequency systems, waveguides, and robotics. We work closely with scientific teams to co-design components that must withstand thermal stress, vibrations, and high precision tolerances.

Why choose us

We understand the complexity of scientific requirements and the demanding performances they entail. Our capacity to develop tailor-made solutions — from concept to commissioning — and our deep experience in systems engineering make us a valued partner for research institutions seeking long-term performance and system reliability.

How we work

We work in full coordination with project owners and research bodies. From preliminary technical requirements to testing and validation under operational conditions, we ensure that every unit we deliver meets the exact needs of the scientific mission.

Multidisciplinary teams delivering turnkey systems for Large Science Infrastructures under extreme conditions

Our engineering teams integrate optics, electronics, software, mechanics and control to deliver complete systems. We’ve developed mirror cells up to 4 meters for ground-based telescopes, calibration mechanisms for space observatories, and instrumentation for fusion Tokamaks operating under high-radiation exposure, as well as state-of-the art complete subsystems for space science missions.

Comprehensive solutions for cutting-edge science

Our expertise includes telescope instrumentation, Tokamak diagnostics, synchrotron components, robotics for hazardous environments, and integrated instrumentation and control.
