Key Responsibilities

Electro-Optical Assembly & Alignment

o Precision alignment of optical components – lenses, mirrors, sensors – for IR and visible imaging assemblies.
o Integration of optical sub-assemblies and systems into gimbals, pan-tilts, and sensors.
System Integration & Testing
Assemble and integrate subsystems including IR imagers, visible imagers, lasers, and control interfaces.
Operate test lab and environmental equipment (e.g., interferometers, collimators, vibration tables, thermal chambers).

Quality & Process Compliance

Follow AS9100D / ISO 9001 documented procedures in fabrication, assembly, and testing
Use clean-room practices, ESD handling, and contamination control.

Troubleshoot optical, mechanical, and electronic performance issues and support root cause analysis.

Team Collaboration

Collaborate with engineering, quality, production, and integration teams.
Support rapid response proposals, system customization, and customer-specific enhancements.

Qualifications

3–5 years of hands-on experience in opto-mechanical or electro-optical system assembly, alignment, and testing.
Technical background (Associate’s in optics, photonics, mechanical technology, or similar; bachelor’s preferred).
Proficiency with precision optical alignment tools (e.g., collimators, interferometers).
Experience with infrared and visible imaging systems, sensors, and electro-optical subsystems.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and conform to AS9100D/ISO 9001 standards.
Strong attention to detail, methodical work ethic, and ability to work effectively in clean-room environments.
Excellent troubleshooting skills and ability to work both independently and in a team environment.
U.S. Person eligibility required (for compliance with ITAR and defense contracting).
Background in optical integration, modular EO systems, or multi-sensor platforms.
Familiarity with rapid prototyping and supporting lifecycle extension through backwards compatibility
