Lexington, United States MIT Lincoln Laboratory Full time

The Active Optical Systems Group develops and fields unique, world-class optical sensor systems across multiple mission areas of national importance. Our Group has a history of successful innovations; we have fielded a high-area coverage rate foliage-penetrating 3D imaging lidar using single photon-sensitive detector arrays; we developed a novel ultra-wideband coherent lidar; and we have MIT LL digital pixel focal plane array technology to develop unique passive IR sensors. These systems leverage our Groups’ creativity; over the past decade, our staff have filed 25 technology disclosures and have been granted 12 patents. Additionally, our group projects have won multiple R&D100 Awards, a prestigious innovation award honoring revolutionary ideas in science and technology. Our portfolio of programs spans smaller, high-risk, high-reward seedling studies and experiments that explore novel techniques and technologies to the fielding of larger, more mature systems that are designed, developed and integrated onto target platforms, such as aircraft. We host world-class expertise in optical phenomenology, optical sensors, high-speed embedded processing, and data exploitation and visualization algorithms. We are a diverse, dedicated and innovative Group looking for exceptional candidates to help us build the next generation of optical sensors.

Position Description

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong background in experimental optics who is also adept in data analysis and modeling to help develop next generation advanced EO/IR systems. The individual is expected to participate in all aspects of technology development spanning design, modeling, laboratory testing, integration, field collection, and data analysis.
