Lead, Optical Engineering - Stray Light

This role involves leading the design, analysis, and development of advanced optical and electro-optical systems for aerospace and defense applications, with a primary focus on stray light analysis and control. The position requires supporting active and passive imaging payloads by ensuring mission-critical system performance through optical modeling, performance analysis, and non-sequential evaluation. The ideal candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to mature payload architectures and quantify how stray light and other factors affect end-to-end system performance in space environments.
