Test Engineer - LLJP00001630

Job Title: 81575 - Test Engineer

Job Location: Lexington MA 02420

Onsite Requirements:

* Optical system experimental hardware
* Data analysis and software including ZMAX, SolidWorks or equivalents
* MATLAB

Job Description:

* The candidate will join a team of optical engineers, analysts and experimentalists to support the design, development and utilization of advanced optical measurements systems to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of optical sensors.
* This will include design, assembly and testing of optical experiments and associated hardware, performing measurements in the laboratory and at field sites and analyzing collected data.
* Optical system components will include emission spectrometers, reflectance instrumentation systems that measure BRDF and MRDFs, in situ material characterization systems, a variety of integrating spheres and target manipulators, high temperature thermo-optical-structural characterization of IR materials and active optical sensors.
* In addition, the candidate will write software for the control and automation of these components and systems, and support efforts in data analysis and interpretation.
* Data analysis will include analysis of emissive and reflective spectra, reflectance data, signal-to-noise from image data, coherent and direct detection laser radar data, and atmospheric optical data.
* The work will combine the experimental results and independent development of modeling codes with collaborative analysis with Lincoln staff to define the specific experiments, analysis and modeling requirements.
* Work at field sites will be necessary on a periodic basis, as will laser safety certification.
