Original job description

Job Description

The BAE Systems FAST Labs Sensor Technologies (ST) product line develops next-generation lasers, precision optical pointers, advanced seekers, and expendables. ST has established itself as a market leader in the development of EO/IR and RF technologies. Within ST, the Electro-Optic Sensing Solutions technology area focus on cutting-edge Electro-Optical Infrared (EO/IR) sensors, lasers, and sensing systems to meet our customers emerging mission needs. EOSS is seeking an experienced Scientist / R&D Systems Engineer to join our team. In this role you will be a technical individual contributor with opportunities to grow into a team lead responsible for developing and demonstrating next-generation EO/IR sensors, systems, and techniques. Projects range from initial concept development through full system demonstration in relevant environments.

Specific job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Model, analyze, and test EO/IR systems and components for a variety of military/commercial applications.
Execute and analyze EO/IR laboratory and field experiments.
Develop and demonstrate advanced algorithms, measurement techniques, and systems prototypes.
Lead small interdisciplinary teams to meet program technical and schedule goals.
Develop proposals for novel technologies, algorithms, or systems.

This position reports within the Electro-Optic Sensing Technology Group and is based out of our Merrimack, NH facility. This position will require virtual and in-person collaboration with customers and staff across BAE Systems ES Facilities.

Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed full-time on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time.

Required Education, Experience, & Skills

Typically a BS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics or equivalent with 6 years of experience working with complex EO/IR systems; or MS in EE, Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics or equivalent with 4 years of experience working with complex EO/IR systems.
Active Secret clearance and ability to obtain DoW Top Secret / SCI clearance.
Experience supporting Optical, Laser, and Infrared technology.
Experience working with multi-disciplinary teams consisting of mechanical, electrical, optical, software and systems engineers.
Experience working independently and interacting effectively with project management to achieve project goals.
In-depth knowledge of one or more optical system specialties; i.e. lasers, precision pointing of laser beams, design of pointing systems, performance testing of optical components and subsystems, atmospheric correction, optical communications, etc.
Expertise in at least one optical application including infrared countermeasures, passive detection and tracking, LIDAR, coherent LIDAR, remote sensing, or laser communications.
Experience implementing systems engineering practices and working knowledge of DoW product development lifecycle.
Modeling and simulation expertise in at least one common language (i.e. MATLAB, Mathcad, Mathematica, Python, C , etc.).
Demonstrated history of proposals, project capture, and customer interaction

Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering (EE), Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics or equivalent
8 years of experience working with complex EO/IR systems
Experience working on DoW contracts
Experience supporting Optical, Laser and Infrared Technology
Active Top Secret security clearance
