Professor of Optronic Systems Engineering was a teaching position at Starfleet Academy.
In 2375, Miles O'Brien was offered and accepted the position. O'Brien joked with Julian Bashir that he took the position because: "somebody has to teach you officers the difference between a warp matrix flux capacitor and a self-sealing stembolt". (DS9 novelization: What You Leave Behind)
