Description

Are you searching for an opportunity to apply your engineering skills in a creative and collaborative laboratory environment? Would you love to engage in meaningful, hands-on work in the exciting field of optics with an employer that prioritizes impact, innovation, and personal development?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

We are seeking a creative Senior Electro-Optical Systems Engineer to join the Imaging Systems Group. As a member of our team, you'll contribute to critical system development and experimental efforts. You will be joining a multi-disciplinary team committed to crafting an environment of innovation.

As a Senior Electro-Optical Systems Engineer, you will:

Lead the design, analysis, and optimization of complex optical and electro-optic subsystems. Perform optical modeling, component selection, and system-level trade studies to develop high-performance imaging and sensing solutions while balancing performance, SWaP, and cost.
Support the engineering, integration, and verification of advanced electro-optic prototype systems and experimental testbeds. Develop test strategies, define performance metrics, oversee laboratory characterization, and drive technical investigations to resolve integration challenges and mature system designs.
Conceive, develop, and champion innovative optical imaging concepts through internal research and development (IR&D) efforts. Identify emerging technologies, perform technical trade studies, and help shape future research directions and externally funded opportunities.
Support field integration and testing activities of developed systems.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

Possess a Ph.D. in optical engineering, optical science, electrical engineering, imaging science, or other related degree.
Have at least 6 years of demonstrated proficiency with optical design, integration, and testing. Knowledge and experience with one or more of the following is a plus: optical metamaterials, photonic integrated circuits, and/or coherent optics.
Demonstrate a proven ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team and possess strong interpersonal, speaking, and technical writing skills.
Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level clearance by your start date, and can ultimately obtain a TS/SCI clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
