Electro-Optical Engineer

Description:

ATC is seeking a Research Oriented Electro-Optical Engineer with familiarity in the development and demonstration of linear and nonlinear optical systems and devices. You should have experience in the construction of optical systems; experience in the specification, characterization and optimization of components for linear and/or nonlinear optical systems (examples include: lasers/amplifiers and frequency conversion devices); some familiarity with current state-of-the-art in solid state lasers/amplifiers and nonlinear optical materials.

Knowledge of and some experience packaging photonics components, subsystems and systems for experimental payloads is desired. Knowledge of related laser-based remote sensing technologies is desired, including coherent and direct detection laser radar, radiometry, Fourier optics, or beam propagation. Your responsibilities in this role will include the following:

* Specification and selection/acquisition of linear and/or nonlinear optical components and technologies

* Construction and operation of linear optical (imaging and non-imaging) and nonlinear optical breadboard and bench level systems

* Laboratory testing and experimental demonstration of optical systems

* Supporting prototype development for experimental optical payloads

* Assisting in system analysis and integration

* Assisting in field demonstration

* Contribution to summary reports, oral presentations, and/or technical proposals is expected

Basic Qualifications:

1. Undergraduate degree in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related fields is required.

2. Experience in the construction of laboratory (linear and/or non-linear) optical set-ups and field-testing of lasers, passive optics and optical devices. Examples of this experience may include: laser resonators; laser amplifiers; optical communications links; laser radar; and/or parametric frequency converters.

3. Ability obtain & maintain a US government Top Secret security clearance

Desired

Skills:

1. Advanced degree in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related fields is desired.
