About the Role
The BAE Systems FAST Labs™ Sensor Technologies (ST) product line develops next-generation lasers, precision optical pointers, advanced seekers, and expendables. ST has established itself as a market leader in the development of EO/IR and RF technologies. Within ST, the Electro-Optic Sensing Solutions technology area focus on cutting-edge Electro-Optical Infrared (EO/IR) sensors, lasers, and sensing systems to meet our customers’ emerging mission needs. EOSS is seeking an experienced Scientist / R&D Systems Engineer to join our team. In this role you 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. Projects range from initial concept development through full system demonstration in relevant environments.
Responsibilities
- Model, analyze, and test EO/IR systems and components for a variety of military/commercial applications.
- Execute and analyze EO/IR laboratory and field experiments.
- Develop and demonstrate advanced algorithms, measurement techniques, and systems prototypes.
- Lead small interdisciplinary teams to meet program technical and schedule goals.
- Develop proposals for novel technologies, algorithms, or systems.
Requirements
- Typically a BS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics or equivalent with 6+ years of experience working with complex EO/IR systems; or MS in EE, Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics or equivalent with 4+ years of experience working with complex EO/IR systems.
- Active Secret clearance and ability to obtain DoW Top Secret / SCI clearance.
- Experience supporting Optical, Laser, and Infrared technology.
- Experience working with multi-disciplinary teams consisting of mechanical, electrical, optical, software and systems engineers.
- Experience working independently and interacting effectively with project management to achieve project goals.
- In-depth knowledge of one or more optical system specialties; i.e. lasers, precision pointing of laser beams, design of pointing systems, performance testing of optical components and subsystems, atmospheric correction, optical communications, etc.
- Expertise in at least one optical application including infrared countermeasures, passive detection and tracking, LIDAR, coherent LIDAR, remote sensing, or laser communications.
- Experience implementing systems engineering practices and working knowledge of DoW product development lifecycle.
- Modeling and simulation expertise in at least one common language (i.e. MATLAB, Mathcad, Mathematica, Python, C++, etc.).
- Demonstrated history of proposals, project capture, and customer interaction
