With a core technology base that includes high-speed electro-optics, fiber optics, and high-power lasers, our laser communications technology is helping NASA provide high-definition video from the International Space Station, and to explore asteroids 250 million miles away. Our other optical technology can also help scientists discover biohazards; support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions; and protect soldiers from explosive devices. Do you have a passion for innovation? Apply now and join the team!

A successful person in this role would contribute to improvement of entire processes or systems within the programs and the organization, leveraging on personal past experiences and in-depth understanding of program management best practices that improve our competitive position in the marketplace.
