About the Role

We are seeking an Electro-Optical Engineer to join our team at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). As a Senior EO/IR Engineer, you will design and model performance of current- and next-generation optical sensors for passive and active sensing in constrained environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and model performance of current- and next-generation optical sensors for passive and active sensing in constrained environments.
  • Understand how individual EO/IR sensor performance affects a larger system of sensors.
  • Determine analysis approaches and conduct detailed trade studies for sponsor-based work in the areas of EO/IR sensing, using existing, organically-developed M&S tools.
  • Develop hardware and sensor testbeds to validate and advance optical systems with various applications in remote sensing and multi-domain surveillance and targeting.
  • Collaborate on the development and analysis of multi-spectral sensor systems (RF and EO/IR).
  • Present analysis to sponsors and prime contractors to guide program direction.

Salary Range: $90,000 - $330,000 per annum. This is a competitive salary range based on industry standards and location.
