Job Description LM Space/IGNITE matures and transitions capabilities focused on our Space Enterprise internal and external customer needs. This position will contribute to electro-optics (EO), laser radar, and directed energy (DE) program work under the LM Space Ignite, Advanced Capabilities Electro-optics & Security (ACES) Directorate. ACES conducts applied research and rapid prototyping of systems & subsystems in relevant or operational environments, develops first-of-kind optical systems, and supports national defense with electro-optics and other technologies.

This role will support the creation of discriminating and disruptive technologies, and performance of first-of-kind demonstrations in support of critical national needs in areas including electro-optics, laser radar, directed energy and power beaming. The position will support activities with multiple LM and government entities.

The ACES DIrectorate is seeking a Senior Staff Solid State/Fiber/Gas Laser and Non-linear optical Engineer with expertise in the development of fiber lasers/amplifiers and nonlinear optical systems and devices. You should have experience in the design and modeling of lasers/amplifiers and frequency conversion devices, familiarity with current state-of-the-art in solid-state and fiber lasers/amplifiers and nonlinear optical materials, and experience with the characterization and optimization of laser and nonlinear optical systems.

Additional knowledge of related laser-based remote sensing technologies is desired, including coherent and direct detection laser radar, radiometry, Fourier/wave optics, beam propagation, and/or atmospheric sciences. Some of your responsibilities in this role will include the following:
• Selection of laser and/or nonlinear optical technologies
• Design of laser and nonlinear optical systems and devices
• Evaluation of predicted performance through computational modeling and analysis
• Laboratory testing and experimental demonstration
• Prototype development
• System analysis and integration
• Field demonstration
• Leadership of and/or contribution to summary reports, oral presentations, and/or technical proposals is expected. We are looking for someone with excellent written/presentation/oral communication skills to communicate with diverse audiences.
