3+ years of optical simulation experience (Zemax, Code-V, Light Tools, Trace Pro, and other industry standard tools).

We Value:

Master's degree or PH.D
Experience with space mission design and integration processes.
Experience with free-space optical communications.
Experience with fiber lasers and/or Class 4 lasers in a breadboard, laboratory, or operational environment.
Experience with the complete engineering lifecycle (design to volume production)
Knowledge of satellite systems and interfaces.
Familiarity with relevant software tools for optical design and analysis.
Experience with Matlab.
Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Individuals who are self-motivated and able to work with little supervision, who consistently take the initiative to get things done, and are willing to do things before being asked by others or forced to by events.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically under pressure.
