Passive Electro-Optical Sr Engineer
-Orlando | Lockheed Martin
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.
What You Will Be Doing 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.
