Original job description

Optical EngineerThe Opportunity:

What if you could use your engineering skills to transform the U.S. Navy? As an optical engineer, you understand the power behind complex systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to the support and testing of electro-optic (EO) components. We’re looking for an optical engineer who can use their skills to support the testing of state-of-the-art weapon systems to enhance the capabilities of today's warfighter.

Our team supports testing of state-of-the-art directed energy weapons systems. That’s why we need you, an optical engineer, who is interested in the testing of weapons systems. You’ll directly impact the U.S. Navy and other Department of War entities by providing optical technical expertise. This is a chance to use your experience-based knowledge in optics and lasers while broadening your skillset. Join us and take on exciting challenges as we support the warfighter with state-of-the-art directed energy capabilities.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

5+ years of experience with optical test equipment, including oscilloscopes, power meters, photodiodes, detectors, interferometers, wavefront sensors, spectrometers, or beam profilers
5+ years of experience with alignment of optical components, cameras, lasers, or opto-mechanics
3+ years of experience in labs including designing test setups, development of test plans, recording data, and reporting meaningful results
Experience in laser systems, including gain media, pump sources, thermal management and control, opto-mechanics, optical coatings, substrates, characterization and specification, beam shaping, or beam control
Experience with image processing for object tracking and detection, recognition, and identification, and in the testing of EO sensors as it applies to overall integration into a weapons system
Knowledge of the major components and integration of laser systems, including the optical train
Ability to collaborate with a variety of engineering specialties, such as mechanical, optical, or software, across a functional team in the development of optical systems
Ability to learn, adapt, and assist in testing of high priority weapons systems in a professional environment
Ability to obtain a Secret clearance
Bachelor's degree in an Optics, Physics, or Electrical Engineering field

Nice If You Have:

10+ years of experience working with U.S. Navy or other military service laser and EO systems
5+ years of experience with HEL weapon systems, including fiber laser technology
5+ years of experience with ISR EO technology development, analysis, test and evaluation (T&E), and platform integration
Experience working with design and analysis software, including FRED, Zemax, WaveTrain, Solidworks, or MATLAB, and creating models using these packages in the design and layout of optical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems
Experience with pulsed lasers, fiber optics, free-space optics, nonlinear optics, spectroscopy, imaging and radiometric tools, or integrated photonics
Experience analyzing the effectiveness of HEL interactions with materials and components, laser propagation theory, and experiment, including modeling and characterizations of laser performance in relevant military environments and ranges
Knowledge of practical problems associated with the design, building, integration, and testing of laser weapons systems
Master's degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field preferred; Doctorate degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field a plus
