    Primary Responsibilities

    Leverage expertise in optics design and new optics technologies to analyze trades in performance and size, weight, and power for satellite optical payloads.

    Utilize modeling tools to develop insights in co-design of different optical technologies in a single optical payload.

    Collaborate with optical designers and team mates to evaluate and mature optics technologies, and develop a pipeline to transition them to production and integration into optical payloads.

    Contribute to developing a roadmap of novel imaging technologies for future space systems, and explore nascent concepts.

    Basic Qualifications

    Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, or equivalent field with 8–12 years, Master's degree with 6-10 years of prior relevant experience or Doctorate with 4+ years of prior relevant experience.

    Must be a U.S Citizen.
    Qualified candidates must be able to obtain a Secret security clearance (no clearance needed to start).
    Expertise in performance evaluations of optical components, including point spread functions (PSFs), modulation transfer functions (MTFs), encircled power, etc.
    Experience with fabrication and characterization of optics, including diffractive/meta-optics.
    Proficient experience with finite element-based design tools such as COMSOL, CST, or Lumerical.
    Proficient experience with optical design tools such as Zemax or Code V.
    Proficient in Windows.
    Excellent communication skills and proven ability to work directly with customers and deliver results.
    Mission oriented with a strong ability guide a team towards goals and deliver real world products.
    Proficient with technical writing, documentation, and organization.
    Robust sense of initiative, a self-starter who can work independently.
