Original job description

Job Title: Lead, Optical Engineering Job Code: 47645 Job Location: Carlsbad, CA Job Schedule: 9/80: Employees work 9 out of every 14 days – totaling 80 hours worked – and have every other Friday off

Job Description:

The Carlsbad optical engineering team advances fiber-optic, precision-microscopy, and waveguide technologies from concept through laboratory validation and system integration. This senior role leads optical architecture, multidisciplinary teams, and customer engagement with substantial autonomy and accountability for technical outcomes, business growth, and development execution.

Essential Functions:

Originate and evaluate optical design concepts for fiber optics, precision microscopy, and waveguides, and lead technology development through models, prototypes, and experiments. Connect customer needs and development priorities to technically sound opportunities that support business growth and successful execution.
Own optical architecture, trade studies, and performance budgets, using models and engineering evidence to resolve design choices and maintain a coherent approach across components and assemblies.
Define optical tolerances, coupling approaches, measurement methods, and acceptance criteria to establish clear performance objectives for component and assembly design, characterization, and validation.
Lead laboratory characterization using microscopy and optical metrology, and own validation and integration of optical hardware. Interpret processed measurement data alongside model predictions and uncertainty estimates to resolve discrepancies and guide technical decisions.
Lead customer discussions to clarify optical requirements, explain design choices, and resolve interface and performance tradeoffs. Lead customer-facing design reviews and connect the resulting decisions to development priorities and execution.
Lead multidisciplinary teams across optical, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and test interfaces, coordinating work and resolving technical issues through system integration.
Own technical decisions and development priorities with substantial autonomy and accountability for engineering outcomes. Communicate risks and results, mentor engineers, and guide the team toward reliable execution.
Ability to obtain and maintain a TS clearance with SCI eligibility

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 9 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 7 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 13 years of prior related experience.

Preferred Additional Skills:

Graduate degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Experience leading optical design, integration, or characterization and resolving complex optical performance issues through engineering analysis and technical decisions. Experience developing optical models, performance budgets, and verification methods, and interpreting laboratory measurements to assess performance and guide engineering decisions.
Experience with fiber-optic subsystems, precision microscopy, or coherent optical measurements, including architecture tradeoffs and laboratory validation.
Experience with waveguide design, modeling, or characterization, including comparison of design predictions with measured performance.
Experience with optical packaging, tolerance analysis, and precision optomechanical integration to resolve optical interfaces and alignment sensitivities. Experience with prototype development, design reviews, and transition of optical hardware toward production, including development planning and execution.
Active TS/SCI clearance with Poly.

In compliance with pay transparency requirements, the salary range for this role in California is $135,000 - $250,500. This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, as final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.
