Join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing optical systems for defense applications. Work across the full design lifecycle, from requirements and concept through simulation, prototyping, verification, and production support.
Обязанности
- Develop optical assemblies from requirements and concept through detailed design, optimization, simulation, and sensitivity analysis.
- Design airborne and naval observation systems, imaging optics, and laser illumination solutions across visible to long-wave infrared spectra.
- Perform stray-light analysis and mechanical tolerancing, and optimize designs using dynamic-load simulation results.
- Support optical assembly, calibration, design verification, and validation testing.
- Prepare technical specifications and drawings; lead design reviews and support supplier evaluation, acceptance testing, and production.
- Evaluate and integrate emerging optical technologies, including flat and adaptive optics, image sensors, and photodetectors.
- Collaborate with mechanical, structural analysis, motion control, and image processing teams.
Требования
- BSc or MSc in physics or electro-optical engineering.
- At least 5 years of optical design and simulation experience, including thermal imaging.
- Experience with fixed-focal-length and zoom lenses, including apochromatic and athermal designs.
- Knowledge of refractive, reflective, and diffractive optical architectures.
- Hands-on experience with optical metrology equipment such as interferometers, collimators, integrating spheres, and black bodies.
- Ability to lead subcontractors and work effectively across disciplines.
Будет плюсом
- Familiarity with optical manufacturing processes, materials, and specialized coatings.
- Experience in defense, particularly with long-range observation payloads.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools.
