Contribute to the mechanical design of optical assemblies, mounts, and structures for imaging and sensing systems.
Perform Structural, Thermal, and Optical Performance (STOP) analysis and Structurally Induced Line of Sight (SILOS) analysis to ensure system performance over expected environmental and operational conditions.
Develop parametric 3D CAD models, detailed part/assembly drawings, and associated documentation.
Collaborate with optical, systems, electrical, and manufacturing engineering teams to refine requirements and ensure design feasibility and producibility.
Support environmental test planning, execution, and correlation of analysis with test results (vibration, thermal, shock, etc.).
Participate in design reviews and present technical findings and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
Support troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and design updates for prototype and production hardware.
Assist with the development and maintenance of error budgets related to optomechanical performance and line-of-sight stability

Proficiency with 3D CAD tools (e.g., CREO, NX, SolidWorks); NX experience preferred.
Experience with optical imaging systems in one or more bands (e.g., visible through LWIR) and the impacts of optical component mounting and alignment.
Knowledge of relevant industry standards (such as ISO, MIL-STD)
Strong technical communication skills, including the ability to generate clear documentation and present design/analysis results.

Preferred Qualifications

MS/PhD in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
Hands-on experience with STOP and SILOS modeling workflows and integration with optical design tools.
Experience with missile systems, seeker systems, or other high-reliability, environmentally challenging applications.
Previous experience with DoD missile defense programs and associated standards
Experience with EO systems including tolerance analysis, precision alignment, error budgets, and opto-mechanical design/integration.
Knowledge of configuring parametric CAD models in support of Design of Experiment (DOE).
Experience with optical design tools such as ZEMAX, Code V, and FRED.
Experience supporting hardware test campaigns and correlating analysis to measured performance.
