- Professional or educational experience performing detailed sensor performance analyses.
- Strong computer programming skills in an engineering application environment such as MATLAB, Python, ENVI/IDL, or Mathematica.
- Strong laboratory skills and experience in assembling, aligning, and measuring performance metrics of electro-optical sensors.
- Analytical skills in passive remote sensing electro-optical system performance evaluation, including radiometry, optical design, and testing, and sensor performance metrics.
- Experience in designing and evaluating telescopes using optical design software such as Code V or Zemax.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work interactively and effectively with Air Force and government customers, and with contractor personnel.
- Willing to travel domestically approximately 10%.
- This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI SSBI security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
- Transcripts required.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Ph.D. degree from an accredited college/university program in optics, physics, electrical engineering, or equivalent.
- Demonstrated experience in developing telescope testbeds for characterizing sensor performance.
- Experience in performing various field tests to characterize and compare sensor performance in various infrared bands.
- Experience with opto-mechanical design for implementation and build.
- Experience working with cross-disciplinary engineering teams.
