Electro-Optical Test Architect

What you'll do

• Design, build, and qualify electro-mechanical optical test stations for manufacturing-line integration.
• Develop and execute end-to-end test architectures to simulate operational environments like thermal cycling and vacuum profiles.
• Define and implement design validation test plans for optical and opto-mechanical assemblies.
• Conduct optical metrology including wavefront error, boresight alignment, and radiometric calibration.
• Lead root cause analysis for opto-mechanical and electrical failures identified during environmental stress testing.
• Write Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW scripts to automate data acquisition and instrument communication.
• Develop measurement processes for volume manufacturing and transfer them to the production team.
• Drive design corrective actions based on test findings to increase first-pass yield.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or equivalent.
• 4+ years of industry experience in electro-optical or opto-mechanical systems development across full product life cycles.
• Experience demonstrating problem solving and root cause analysis.
• Experience with lasers, detectors, modulators, optical fiber and devices, testing and characterization.
• Experience with optical metrology for component and system test and qualification.
• Experience running thermal cycling (TC) and/or thermal vacuum (TVAC) test profiles for high-precision optical or electro-mechanical systems.
• Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
• Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates.
