Principal Optical Engineer - 3

This engineer will contribute to seeker and launch-vehicle hardware by developing optical designs, performance models, tolerances, error budgets, and requirements. The position works closely with structural, thermal, optomechanical, systems, electrical, manufacturing, and test teams to ensure designs are stable, manufacturable, and verifiable. Responsibilities include STOP and SILOS analysis, CAD and optomechanical design reviews, environmental testing, alignment and calibration, and troubleshooting performance issues. The engineer will also present technical findings during internal and customer design reviews and help correlate analytical predictions with test results. This opportunity suits an experienced optical professional who is comfortable working on complex, high-reliability electro-optical systems and who holds an active Secret clearance.
