Continental US     CACI is looking for an Opto-Mechanical Engineer to join our Photonics team-- we are expanding!  Our laser communications technology is helping NASA provide high-definition video from the International Space Station, and to explore asteroids 250 million miles away.  Our other optical technology can also help scientists discover biohazards; support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions; and protect soldiers from explosive devices.  

Do you have a passion for innovation?  Apply now and join the team!
*
* The Opportunity:

*** Under limited direction design the packaging for complex subsystems with optical, photonic, optoelectronic, electrical, and mechanical elements for R&D and production programs for U.S. government customers.
* Own mechanical designs from concept through flight qualification, including requirements definition, trade studies, and detailed design.
* Collaborate with optical engineers to translate optical prescriptions into robust mechanical designs.
* Design optical mounts and systems for launch loads, vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and vacuum environments.
* Develop and maintain optical alignment strategies, including athermalization and stability over temperature.
* Produce build-to drawings and data packages and collaborate with and manage 3rd party vendors to resolve specification, performance, and reliability issues and realize the commercial and custom-machined parts necessary to build the subsystem.
* Support integration, alignment, and test (I&T) activities, including environmental testing and troubleshooting
* May lead a team of other designers, analysts, and engineering professionals
* May directly supervise lab technicians
*
* Qualifications:

*
* Required:

** BS in Mechanical Engineering and a minimum of 5 years of related experience or equivalent combination of education, skills, and experience.
* Proficient use of computer-aided design and analysis software, with Solid Works and Ansys strongly preferred.
* Experience working with optomechanical systems, precision structures, or high-stability mechanical assemblies.
* Strong understanding of optical mounts, materials, tolerancing, and alignment techniques.
* Familiarity with use of and preparation of CAD models for use in FEA software for thermal and structural (shock and vibration) analysis
* Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) methodologies, with experience applying these principles to improve product quality and manufacturability.
* Must be a US Citizen.
* Desired:
** Experience in the design of complex subsystems with optical, photonic, optoelectronic, electrical, and mechanical elements.
* Experience with gimbal systems or other precision motion control mechanisms, including design, integration, and optimization for applications in optical systems or robotics.
* Familiarity with material behavior in space environments, such as CTE matching, thermal gradients, and out gassing considerations.
* Proven experience conducting mechanical simulations using ANSYS Mechanical (static, modal, thermal, nonlinear, or dynamic).
* Experience in optical and electronic subassembly layout including board physical design, chassis or enclosure design, optical fiber routing, and electrical and optical connector selection.
* Master’s degree preferred
