About The Position

The Electro-Optical System Design Department is seeking an Electro-Optical Systems Engineer to support the Advanced Products & Solutions Mission Area in developing and building advanced electro-optical systems. The engineer will join a design team working on systems that may include imagers, passive or active EO tracking, LIDAR, and directed energy systems. The role contributes to assessing system architectures, developing requirements, and supporting system design and build efforts. It includes assessing mission and system requirements, deriving design and performance requirements for subsystem and unit levels, and supporting verification and test activities to help create an appropriate integrated verification and validation (IV&V) plan.

The department provides electro-optical systems engineering expertise to Space and Airborne Systems. Typical work includes system architecture and design, integrated product team leadership, lead systems engineering, chief engineering, requirements engineering, and EO systems analysis. This position is onsite in El Segundo, California, and requires U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Secret clearance after the first day.

Requirements

• Master's degree in Physics, Optical, or a related STEM major, obtained by the start date.
