About The Position

The Effector-Optics (EO) Department is responsible for requirements decomposition, detailed design, integration, performance verification, and production support of EO sensor/seekers including the telescopes, detectors, cryogenic systems, and structures that make up the sensor/seekers. The Effector-Optics (EO) Department is looking for an Principal EO Sensor Analyst / Engineer to develop and implement structured and robust data analysis tools to support production Tier II Exo-atmospheric Seekers and Sensors. The EO Sensor Analyst / Engineer will also develop test parameters to help transition Seekers from engineering phase to production; determine optimal data analysis methods to ensure maximum speed and efficiency for test processing while ensuring that all relevant parameters are fully assessed. Additional duties include conducting peer reviews, providing thorough yet concise documentation of algorithms and code implementation, and working with the production test team to optimize test processes for increasing factory throughput while maintaining or improving mission assurance.

Requirements

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience performing analysis of EO seeker or sensor data.
• Experience utilizing Matlab.
• Experience with laboratory measurement equipment or techniques for optics, detectors, and EO sensors and seekers.
• Experience writing technical data analysis reports.
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
