The Optical Communications SE will be responsible for the following but not limited to:

Developing concepts of operations for optical SATCOM ground terminal systems.
Reviewing, developing, analyzing, and allocating requirements for free-space optical communication links and ground terminals.
Developing and exercising performance models, including link budget analysis, atmospheric turbulence modeling, pointing/acquisition/tracking simulations, and mitigation techniques (e.g., adaptive optics, wavefront correction).
Providing technical guidance on deploying optical SATCOM systems, including optical ground terminals, wavefront correction, acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) mechanisms, and atmospheric mitigation strategies.
Supporting the integration of optical ground terminals into SATCOM architectures, collaborating with engineering teams on system design, testing, and validation.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or related field.
Must have the ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance.

Proficient in free-space optical system modeling and link analysis.
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage complex technical tasks in a fast-paced environment.
U.S. Citizenship Required.

Desired Qualifications:

Advanced degree (e.g., Master’s or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or a closely related field is highly desirable.
Knowledge of optical communication challenges and mitigations, including atmospheric mitigation, pointing, acquisition and tracking, and link analysis.
Exposure to SATCOM or defense-related optical communication projects, particularly involving ground terminals.
Experience with DoD lifecycle management processes for SATCOM systems from engineering design, integration and test to deployment, operations and sustainment.
