EO Optical Engineer I (Onsite)
About The Position
At Raytheon, the Electro-Optics (EO) Department is responsible for requirements decomposition, detailed design, and production support of EO sensors and seekers, including detectors, cryogenic systems, and structures that make up sensor/seeker subsystems. The multidisciplinary team designs, models, analyzes, and verifies optical components and the structures and mechanisms that support or move them, as well as cryogenic systems used to cool and maintain EO detector temperatures. The team also communicates detector interface and performance requirements to suppliers and verifies that requirements are met, and applies multiple engineering disciplines to assemble, test, and verify optical, electrical, and mechanical components as they are integrated into a sensor/seeker subsystem. The EO Optical Engineer I will contribute as a mentee and individual contributor to program activities. The role supports optical alignment and testing, EO modeling and analysis, requirements development and validation, system design, troubleshooting, production assembly and documentation, and failure analysis and corrective action for electro-optical subsystems.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained before starting.
- Experience with electro-optical subsystems.
- U.S. citizenship is required because only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
- An active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before the start date; ability to obtain an interim U.S. government-issued security clearance is also required before the start date.
Nice To Haves

- Cumulative GPA of 3.0 is desired.
- Ability to develop and present technical briefings.
- Current or active DoD security clearance or SSBI.
- Experience with troubleshooting investigations and processes.
- Experience with test equipment, test automation scripting, test conduction, and sensor control.
Responsibilities
- Participate as a mentee and individual contributor supporting program activities.
- Perform optical alignment and testing of optics assemblies.
- Use EO modeling, simulation, and analysis applications.
- Develop and validate requirements and conduct subsystem trade studies.
- Design optical and opto-mechanical seeker systems and/or test fixtures for missiles.
- Work with engineering and production personnel to troubleshoot issues and provide root-cause analysis and corrective actions for design and process problems.
- Support production activities involving the assembly and documentation of electro-optical subsystems.
- Troubleshoot hardware and process issues down to circuit-card assembly (CCA) and component levels.
- Resolve issues on production lines and during testing, including issues involving suppliers.
- Conduct failure analysis, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions.
