Optical metrology and testing of mirrors (on- and off-axis aspheres) and other elements for large-aperture space-based telescope assemblies and instrument backends. Perform AI&T of optical telescope assemblies and full system integration. Develop alignment and test plans in support of programs. Execute various stray light and opto-mechanical tolerancing analyses for system performance evaluation.

Arlington, Va, Us

Lead optical and test engineer responsible for AI&T of Next-Generation OPIR program. Responsibilities include: early stage optical design and optimization; system level requirements flowdown to engineering specs; optomechanical tolerancing, vignetting, and STOP analysis; derive component manufacturing specs and provide on-site support during production; alignment planning and testing in cleanroom environments and TVAC chambers; wavefront, MTF, EOD, radiometric sensitivity, and line of sight error budget management and measurements during build; optical STE design; data generation and visualization for presenting systems-level requirement verification.

Jena, Thüringen, De

Interface Python, Excel, and ZEMAX together to create automated custom solutions for: system-level optomechanical tolerancing, statistical analysis, and data visualization in design/engineering phase; optical recomputation and optimization models for on-line assembly from actual lens-element and inter-airspace values; post-assembly system-test data analysis. Create acceptance test protocols and assembly & alignment procedures for first article inspection and full production. Generate design- and process-FMEA, and V&V matrix documentation for QA under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. Architect and transfer data analysis models/algorithms to engineers for development of on-line production software. Design and development of custom optical system tooling hardware. Create drawings of optical components and assemblies under ISO 10110 suitable for production and review optomechanical drawings for tolerancing budget.
