About the Role

We are seeking an Electro-optical Engineer to join our team at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. As an Electro-optical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing complex electro-optical systems. You will work with a diverse team of scientists and engineers to conceive, design, build, and test these systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct in-depth analysis of electro-optical sensors and systems
  • Design, simulate, analyze, and test optical systems and sensors at the component, subsystem, and system levels
  • Develop new test capabilities that will assess the performance of both new and fielded optical systems
  • Develop and refine tools, techniques, models, simulations, algorithms, and software for the testing and evaluation of electro-optic systems
  • Develop and maintain optical test equipment for electro-optical seeker and sensor systems
  • Work with project and program management and with peers across the organization to ensure that test results provide critical contributions to the most critical challenges the nation faces in air and missile defense
Requirements
  • A bachelor's degree in engineering, optics, physics, mathematics, or a related field
  • Professional experience in analysis, design, development, or testing of electro-optical instruments or sensors
  • Proficiency in data analysis and the interpretation of physical measurements as real-world phenomena
  • Demonstrated strengths in understanding and solving sophisticated technical problems
  • Ability to speak and write for audiences of varying levels of technical knowledge
  • Availability to travel up to 10% of the time as needed
  • Ability to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level clearance
Preferred Qualifications
  • An MS or PhD degree or equivalent in a relevant technical field
  • Experience in system-level requirement analysis, engineering, and evaluation of electro-optical sensors, systems, and subsystems
  • Experience with visible and infrared detectors (CCD, CMOS, microbolometer, InSb, HgCdTe, Type II SLS, etc.)
  • Ability to perform radiometric/photometric modeling of electro-optical sensor systems in both the visible and the infrared spectrum
  • Interdisciplinary familiarity of systems including optical, electro-optical, electrical, software, and mechanical engineering
  • Experience in system engineering and project management
  • Experience with integrated software/hardware systems
  • Current Secret, Top Secret, or TS/SCI clearance
