Passive Electro-Optical Sr Engineer -Orlando

Description: Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 114,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services.

At Lockheed Martin, we apply our passion for purposeful innovation to keep people safe and solve the world's most complex challenges.

We are seeking an Electro-Optical (EO) Engineer who is passionate about EO and can apply technical skills to develop optimized solutions for complex challenges.

• Your skill set should include physics-based modeling, FLIR characterizations, image processing and/or algorithm development.
• The EO Engineer must understand the sensitivities associated with the various parts of the imaging chain to quickly and effectively perform system design trades.
• Must be willing to increase technical depth and breadth in EO as a path towards becoming a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
• Must be willing to mentor junior EO engineers and potentially teach a technical course on an EO specialty once the EO Engineer achieves expertise in that specialty.
• Although this is a technical contributor role, the EO Engineer must be able to communicate analysis at the appropriate level to a diverse audience including other technical experts, customers, and senior management.
• Experience with CAMEO and MBSE a plus and understanding of modern US defense systems specifically focused on EO/IR and laser systems is a plus.

We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well‑being, offering flexible scheduling options.

This position is in Orlando.

BSEE or another STEM degree and 3+ years of related experience.

• Demonstrate knowledge or experience of EO systems consisting of advanced optical/infrared material and coatings.
• Demonstrate experience of EO systems consisting state of the art sensors, and advanced laser systems.
• Demonstrate knowledge or experience in radiometric EO analysis and simulation.
• Perform design and analysis of EO candidate systems for both ground and airborne sensor suite applications.
• Demonstrate an ability to define and/or access and utilize target threat signatures in EO modeling.
• Demonstrate the ability to utilize MATLAB when running EO performance analysis simulations or developing target models.
• Conduct parametric studies to support advanced EO targeting sensor and seeker development.
• Model design solutions that can be fabricated for laboratory test and characterization prior to development.
• Perform design and specification of instrumentation for integrated system level tower and field testing.

• Experience with IR systems trades, performance analysis, traceability / performance link budgets.
• Knowledge of industry tools: SPIRITS, MODTRAN6, COAST, Matlab.
• Characterization of IR cameras (NEDT, NEI, EE), measurement of TPMs, and designing test procedures.
• Modeling threat signatures given GFI data, or modeling parameters/engagement description (Source Radiant Intensity, Contrast Radiant Intensity at range).
• System level modeling experience – integration with pointing systems, LOS accuracy / Algo performance budgets, requirements/digital engineering.

This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a US Citizen for consideration.
