Job Description:
Join a team that designs, develops and integrates highly complex systems for space within Honeywell Aerospace. As a Lead Optical Manufacturing Engineer, you will part of a team that specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of novel, state-of-the-art optical instruments for military, space and commercial applications, including Earth observation, atmospheric monitoring, space situational awareness, space science, and optical communications. You will be integral in creating system solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. As Lead Optical Manufacturing Engineer, you will work in a small cross-functional team of Mechanical, Optical and Systems engineers collaborating on the design, development and implementation of space science instruments, technology and missions. A broad spectrum of optical and opto-mechanical elements, such as mirrors and mounts, to critical subsystems such as fore optics and detector assembly, and to full instruments with electronics and mechanisms will need to be designed, assembled, integrated, and tested.
Job Responsibilities:
- Using optical test equipment to measure optical performance, and optical alignments
- Environmental testing of equipment
- Develop strategies and methods to be able to efficiently and quickly build and test systems and components that require critically precise alignment.
- Defining the assembly, integration, and test of complex optical systems and leading the execution of those activities.
- Supporting R&D activities and the transition of designs to production
- Participate as a key team member in the development of unique mechanical concepts for optics, optical mount, flexures and structures with critical constraints that meet the demanding requirements of space applications.
- Lead the development, build and test of hardware that is driven towards lower cost and higher volumes.
Job Requirements:
- The ability to manage technical teams with engineers, scientists, and technicians from multiple disciplines
- Individuals who are self-motivated and able to work with little supervision, who consistently take the initiative to get things done
- A results-oriented and structured problem-solving approach
- Clear and concise verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively communication technical information across different levels of the organization and externally
- Advanced degree in engineering or applied science
- A strong background in optical instrument design activities, including optical, mechanical and electrical engineering aspects
- Experience with mechanical design, industrial design, lens design, clean room work
- Passion to develop solutions and trouble shoot problems.
- Developing hardware for the space, vacuum and or similar harsh environments.
- An understanding of optical design and test methods and familiarity with optical design software
- A strong grasp of optical, mechanical, electrical and software elements and their interactions within complex systems
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Applied Science
- Minimum 10 years of relevant design and test experience, with a specialty in opto-mechanical hardware design development in a new product development environment
- The ability to adapt as dictated by project changes
- The ability to simultaneously manage a variety of complicated tasks
