Electro-Optical Engineer
About The Position
ATC is seeking a Research Oriented Electro-Optical Engineer with familiarity in the development and demonstration of linear and nonlinear optical systems and devices. You should have experience in the construction of optical systems; experience in the specification, characterization and optimization of components for linear and/or nonlinear optical systems (examples include: lasers/amplifiers and frequency conversion devices); some familiarity with current state-of-the-art in solid state lasers/amplifiers and nonlinear optical materials. Knowledge of and some experience packaging photonics components, subsystems and systems for experimental payloads is desired. Knowledge of related laser-based remote sensing technologies is desired, including coherent and direct detection laser radar, radiometry, Fourier optics, or beam propagation. Your responsibilities in this role will include the following: · Specification and selection/acquisition of linear and/or nonlinear optical components and technologies · Construction and operation of linear optical (imaging and non-imaging) and nonlinear optical breadboard and bench level systems · Laboratory testing and experimental demonstration of optical systems · Supporting prototype development for experimental optical payloads · Assisting in system analysis and integration · Assisting in field demonstration · Contribution to summary reports, oral presentations, and/or technical proposals is expected
Requirements
- Undergraduate degree in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related fields is required.
- Experience in the construction of laboratory (linear and/or non-linear) optical set-ups and field-testing of lasers, passive optics and optical devices. Examples of this experience may include: laser resonators; laser amplifiers; optical communications links; laser radar; and/or parametric frequency converters.
- Ability obtain & maintain a US government Top Secret security clearance
Nice To Haves
- Advanced degree in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related fields is desired.
