Optical Engineer: EO & Laser Systems for Navy

Booz Allen; Virginia; In loco; USD 78.000 - 176.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Booz Allen is seeking an Optical Engineer in the Dahlgren, VA area to support testing of EO components and state-of-the-art directed energy weapons. You will design test setups, run experiments, record data, and report insights to multi-disciplinary teams.

The role emphasizes collaboration with mechanical, optical, and software engineers, plus hands-on experience with laser systems, detectors, and image processing for ISR EO applications.

Competenze

• 5+ years of experience with optical test equipment including oscilloscopes, power meters, photodiodes, detectors, interferometers, wavefront sensors, spectrometers, or beam profilers.
• 5+ years of experience with alignment of optical components, cameras, lasers, or opto-mechanics.
• 3+ years of experience in labs including designing test setups, development of test plans, recording data, and reporting meaningful results.
• Experience in laser systems including gain media, pump sources, thermal management and control, opto-mechanics, optical coatings, substrates, characterization and specification, beam shaping, or beam control.
• Experience with image processing for object tracking and detection, recognition, and identification, and in the testing of EO sensors as it applies to overall integration into a weapons system.
• Knowledge of the major components and integration of laser systems, including the optical train.
• Ability to collaborate with a variety of engineering specialties, such as mechanical, optical, or software, across a functional team in the development of optical systems.
• Ability to learn, adapt, and assist in testing of high priority weapons systems in a professional environment.
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance.

Mansioni
