What You'll Do:

You will support the design, modeling, and experimental validation of optical systems operating in the visible and infrared spectrum. You will contribute to optical system modeling and performance analysis, assist with design trades and system-level evaluations, and support the development of compact, high-performance payloads.

You will also play a hands-on role in laboratory activities, including optical alignment, integration, testing, and characterization of components and prototype systems. Working closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams, you will help evaluate and mature emerging optical technologies—such as diffractive and meta-optics—analyze experimental data to inform design decisions, and document results to support internal R&D and program efforts.

This position emphasizes a balance of analytical and experimental work. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across simulation and laboratory environments and is motivated to grow technical expertise in both domains.

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, or a related field with 8+ years of experience or a Master's degree with 6+ years of prior relevant experience. May possess a Doctorate in technical domain.

US citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance

Experience with optical system modeling, simulation, or analysis.

Familiarity with optical performance metrics such as PSF, MTF, encircled energy, and radiometric considerations

Experience working in a laboratory environment, including optical alignment, testing, or characterization

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail

Effective communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative team environment

Preferred Qualifications

Active Secret clearance with ability to obtain a higher-level clearance (TS/SCI)

Experience with infrared optical systems or sensors

Hands-on experience with experimental optics, optical testbed development, and optical metrology

Experience with optical design tools such as Zemax or CODE V

Experience with modeling tools such as COMSOL, Lumerical, or equivalent

Experience with electronic design automation tools and file formats (e.g., GDSII)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
