Summary

MTSI is seeking to hire a Laser Engineer to join a high performing and dynamic team supporting the development of high-fidelity physics-based models/simulations, sensor data collection and analysis, and other hardware testing/analysis to anchor system and phenomenology models/simulations.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with a team to assist in developing physics-based models/simulations, executing hardware tests/data collects, and applying data analysis to verify the performance of models. Models/simulations will address photonics/optics phenomenology and applications for lasers, sensors/detectors, and light-material interactions. Testing activities include design and implementation of laboratory-based and/or field-based setups for characterizing sensors and laser systems, evaluating/testing prototype hardware performance, and/or investigating relevant optical phenomena. Other tasks may include concept and requirements development, design trades, independent performance assessment, and post-test data analysis.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or physics with 10+ years of relevant experience, Master's degree with 8+ years, or PhD with 6+ years.
  • Active Security Clearance is required with the ability to get TS/SC
  • Proficiency in programming languages and tools for developing simulations, analyzing data, and automating laboratory setups (Matlab, Simulink, C, C++, Python)
  • Experience with software development for physics-based modeling and algorithm implementation.
  • In-depth understanding of laser physics, including light-matter interactions, laser beam characteristics, and system-level applications in defense technologies.
  • Experience with high-energy laser systems and their integration into larger systems.
  • Expertise in modeling and analyzing laser beam propagation through various atmospheric conditions, including turbulence, absorption, and scattering effects.
  • Familiarity with tools and techniques for mitigating atmospheric distortions.
  • Knowledge of sensor technologies, including electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) systems, and their use in detecting and characterizing laser signals.
  • Experience in sensor calibration, performance evaluation, and data collection.
  • Proficiency in developing mid- to high-fidelity models and simulations for laser systems and subsystems used in Department of Defense (DoD) applications.
  • Ability to validate models using experimental data and apply them to system performance assessments.

Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience performing optical alignment, calibration, and testing of laser systems and sensors.
  • Familiarity with metrology tools and techniques for characterizing optical components.
  • Proficiency in developing simulations that integrate multiple physical domains, such as thermal, mechanical, and optical phenomena.
  • Experience with tools like COMSOL Multiphysics or similar platforms.
  • Familiarity with tools and techniques for mitigating atmospheric distortions.
  • Experience configuring and programming hardware for automated data acquisition and control.
  • Familiarity with data acquisition systems, such as LabVIEW or similar platforms.
