Optical Design and Analysis Engineer (Lead or Senior)
About The Position
The Boeing Company’s Defense, Space and Security organization is hiring Lead or Senior Optical Design and Analysis Engineers (Level 4 or 5) for a Department of Defense program in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The team develops advanced concepts involving adaptive optics and optical imaging systems, working with multidisciplinary engineering teams. The position is 100% onsite in Albuquerque. The engineer will design and analyze complex optical assemblies and systems, develop subsystem architectures and designs for integration into higher-level systems and platforms, define performance and tolerance requirements, and conduct trade studies, modeling, simulation, and other analyses to predict and optimize performance. The role also involves defining and conducting tests and analyzing data to validate complex optical system and component designs against requirements. Candidates must satisfy Boeing’s Conflict of Interest assessment process. The position requires an active U.S. Secret clearance and the ability to obtain access to SCI programs after starting. It must also meet U.S. export-control requirements, which require a U.S. Person. Boeing will not sponsor employment visas. The position is not contingent on program award and is not safety sensitive.
Requirements
- Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is required for this clearance. A clearance active within the past 24 months is considered active.
