BS in Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics, Electrical Engineering (EE), or equivalent with 8+ years of experience working with complex EO/IR systems or MS with 6+ years of experience or Ph.D.Please note that pursuant to a government contract, this specific position requires US citizenship status and eligibility to obtain a US security clearance. Develop proposals for novel technologies, algorithms, or systems.Lead small interdisciplinary teams to meet program technical and schedule goals.Develop and demonstrate advanced algorithms, measurement techniques, and systems prototypes.Execute and analyze EO/IR laboratory and field experiments.Model, analyze, and test EO/IR systems and components for a variety of military/commercial applications.

Specific job responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Projects range from initial concept development through full system demonstration in relevant environments. The successful candidate will be a technical individual contributor with opportunities to grow into a team lead responsible for developing and demonstrating next-generation EO/IR sensors, systems, and techniques. We focus on cutting-edge Electro-Optical Infrared (EO/IR) sensors, lasers, and sensing systems. Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.īAE Systems is seeking innovative, technically versatile candidates to join our research-and-development team.
