Original job description

Help Define the Future of Free-Space Optical Communication.

The Laser Communications Group designs, prototypes, analyzes, and tests free-space laser communications systems for a variety of government platforms and environments. Our research team develops new technology for laser communications systems, such as techniques to mitigate fluctuations in signal power caused by atmospheric turbulence, and methods to reduce wavefront distortions. We perform atmospheric modeling and simulation, and build precise acquisition, tracking, and pointing subsystems to support highly directional, low-probability-of-intercept communication links.

Major efforts within the group include the demonstration of a low-cost, high-performance airborne laser communications terminal, and the development of the nation's leading independent lasercom interoperability testing facility. We also serve as a trusted source of subject matter expertise to the US government on all aspects of laser communications.

We are seeking a recent graduate ready to apply strong technical fundamentals to real experiments, real hardware, and real-world impact from day one.

This is not a "shadow the senior engineer for two years" role. You will be in the lab running experiments, performing modeling and analysis, and contributing directly to systems that matter.

Job Overview

MIT Lincoln Laboratory Assistant Staff provide critical support for domain-level innovative research supporting the Laboratory’s national security mission. They prototype state-of-the-art technology solutions and engage in many steps of a program lifecycle. As an Assistant Staff member, you will work with multidisciplinary project teams assisting with solutions to complex to moderately complex problems through research and technology development activities. In this highly contributory role, you will develop and grow your understanding of the Laboratory and the work we do for our research sponsors and on behalf of the nation while taking on defined research and technical assignments. Depending on the level, you will complete clearly scoped assignments with guidance or apply established methods with limited oversight while taking greater ownership of defined technical work.

As a successful candidate, you will bring a strong technical foundation, curiosity, and an aptitude for technical growth. You will develop or deepen expertise within a primary technical domain, broaden your awareness of adjacent areas, and support activities such as hardware and software development, systems analysis, data analysis, component fabrication, system integration, testing, and documentation.

Job Duties & Responsibilities

Support design, development, data analysis, programming, testing, troubleshooting, modeling, simulation, and documentation of systems or prototypes.
Apply basic or established technical practices, tools, and procedures to complete defined tasks and solve routine technical problems.
Contribute to data collection, documentation, and component- or subsystem-level deliverables supporting broader research and mission-focused efforts.
Learn and apply relevant mission context, technical standards, systems, platforms, and project processes.
Communicate progress, technical results, assumptions, risks, and questions clearly and incorporate feedback into technical work products.
Depending on level, identify small process improvements and assist new hires, interns, or less experienced staff.

What You'll Actually Do

Design and characterize optical, RF, or software subsystems for next-generation free-space laser communication terminals
Run experiments, troubleshoot issues, and iterate on solutions
Perform modeling and analysis to inform technology investments and assess laboratory results
Collaborate closely with a small, tight-knit technical team
Apply theoretical fundamentals from your coursework or research to real hardware on an optical bench
Contribute to systems that may support satellite, airborne, or other mission-critical platforms

Nice-to-Haves (Not Dealbreakers)

Research experience in an optics, photonics, or similar experimental physics laboratory
Exposure to any of: optical systems/alignment, analog circuit design, embedded/systems software
Experience with data analysis tools (Python, MATLAB) or optical design software

Why Lincoln Laboratory

Work on problems that don't exist anywhere else. We are often the first to attempt what we do.
Strong mentorship. Senior technical staff who invest in your growth and development.
Tuition assistance and continued learning. Access to MIT resources, conferences, and ongoing professional development.

Working knowledge of relevant tools, systems, standards, and documentation practices used in project execution.
Ability to complete assigned tasks accurately, manage time effectively, and communicate progress and risks.
Collaborative working style with an emerging ability to support others, contribute to team learning, and interact respectfully with colleagues, sponsors, and other stakeholders.

Additional Minimum Qualifications

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Willingness and ability to work in a laboratory environment, including handling optical and electronic hardware
US citizenship is required
