The Effector-Optics (EO) Department is responsible for requirements decomposition, detailed design, integration, performance verification, and production support of EO sensor/seekers including the telescopes, detectors, cryogenic systems, and structures that make up the sensor/seekers.The Effector-Optics (EO) Department is looking for an EO Sensor Analyst / Engineer II to develop and implement structured and robust data analysis tools to support production Tier II Exo-atmospheric Seekers and Sensors. The EO Sensor Analyst / Engineer will also develop test parameters to help transition Seekers from engineering phase to production; determine optimal data analysis methods to ensure maximum speed and efficiency for test processing while ensuring that all relevant parameters are fully assessed. Additional duties include conducting peer reviews, providing thorough yet concise documentation of algorithms and code implementation, and working with the production test team to optimize test processes for increasing factory throughput while maintaining or improving mission assurance.

What You Will Do

• Provide key support in the assessment of flight test performance for Tier II Exo-atmospheric Seekers and Sensors by working with senior engineers to compare lab measurements and predicted environmental performance to that observed during a flight test event.
• This will include writing the EO sensor/seeker portion of the flight test report and providing detailed reports of any potential anomalies to program leadership.
• Other key responsibilities will include working with senior engineers to develop algorithm requirements, analyzing system performance, and developing solutions to a variety of technical problems of large scope and complexity; interfacing with test equipment development and hardware assembly and test methods and leading small teams as needed.
• Conduct a test problem investigation without a team and develop and present failure reports as needed.
• Analyze the results generated by the EO sensor analysis tool to be able to alert to test issues and be able to guide investigation of what cause the test anomaly.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience performing analysis of EO seeker or sensor data. Experience utilizing Matlab.
• Experience with laboratory measurement equipment or techniques for optics, detectors, and EO sensors and seekers.
• Experience writing technical data analysis reports.

Qualifications We Prefer

• EO/electronics background.
• C++ programming experience.
• Experience with test equipment, test automation scripting, test conduction, sensor control.
• Experience with reading telemetry from raw data format.
• EO Sensor/seeker integration and verification experience.
• Familiarity with production test processes and test problem report disposition.
• Solid communication and teaming s
