About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS), Laser and Electro-Optical systems (LEOS) seeks an Optical Engineer to support development of high performance Directed Energy Systems and Electro-Optical Systems. This role involves developing and validating requirements for electro-optical systems, sensors, lasers, and other electromagnetic systems and components. The engineer will develop architectures to integrate multiple systems into higher level systems and platforms, perform trade studies, modeling, simulation, and analysis to predict system performance and optimize designs. Responsibilities include designing complex electro-optical and laser systems, developing new modeling and simulation techniques, and developing and implementing critical tests to validate designs. The role also provides guidance and support for the product lifecycle to resolve complex issues, manages supplier and partner performance, and supports project management by coordinating statement of work, budget, and schedule. The engineer will generate major sections of large-scale proposals and may perform work in a clean room environment. A U.S. Top Secret/SCI Security Clearance is required for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. This position is expected to be fully on site in Albuquerque, NM.

Requirements

5+ years minimum of related experience.
Education or work experience in Electro-Optics.
Experience with Electro Optical (ex: producing specifications, tolerances, simulations, assembly, integration and test of fiber optic (F/O) sensors, systems and components, including sensors, lasers, fiber-optics, and telecommunications products).
Experience in laser and electro-optical systems and optical communication systems requirements development, integration, testing and analysis.
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
U.S. Top Secret/SCI Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.
