Principal Optical Engineer - 3

This engineer will join the Electro-Optics Group and contribute to multidisciplinary development of visible through LWIR imaging and sensing hardware. The work includes designing optical architectures, analyzing wavefront and imaging performance, managing error budgets and tolerances, and evaluating the effects of structural and thermal environments through STOP and SILOS methods. The engineer will work with systems, mechanical, thermal, electrical, manufacturing, and test teams to create designs that can be built, aligned, qualified, and maintained in demanding mission conditions. Responsibilities also include supporting laboratory and environmental testing, presenting technical findings at design reviews, and resolving issues in prototype or production hardware. The role suits an experienced optical or optomechanical engineer with defense, aerospace, seeker, or other high-reliability electro-optical experience who can communicate effectively across technical disciplines.
