Optical Systems Engineer (Entry Level) – Millennium Space Systems

Millennium Space Systems (MSS), a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is seeking an entry‑level optical systems engineer to support the engineering team in El Segundo, CA.

Job Summary

The Optical Engineering Team provides all optical systems engineering services to Millennium's direct programs, studies, proposals, and Internal Research & Development (IRAD) efforts. They manage interfaces between the space vehicle and electro‑optical (EO)/infrared (IR) payloads and also Optical Communications Terminals (OCTs). The team models0 phenomen expands and detection performance of EO/IR and OCT, considering the spectral, spatial, and radiometric attributes of the sensor.

They design and develop optical hardware, including star trackers and sensor suites that support autonomous navigation and docking maneuvers. They determine on‑orbit and ground image‑processing algorithms to support mission requirements, working closely with mission and systems engineering teams, manufacturing, and testing teams to lead payload systems efforts end‑to‑end.

Position Responsibilities

• Develop and execute unit and system level optical tests to verify performance
• Design and implement system/payload performance modeling and simulation
• Support trade studies and other forms of analysis to predict system performance
• Support supplier and partner performance
• Support internal optical product development
• Support development and validation of mission and unit level requirements for electro‑optical (EO) sensors, associated image processing, and space vehicle interfaces
• Other duties as assigned

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in engineering or the physical sciences
• Methodical design, testing, and troubleshooting capabilities
• Must be versatile and able to perform and manage multiple tasks concurrently
