Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer - NLIGHT Inc
Longmont, CO
About the Job
Description
Position: SENIOR OPTO-MECHANICAL ENGINEER
Experience: A minimum of 5+ years of experience working in opto-mechanical
system design and integration. Will consider Staff or Senior level depending
on experience.
Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Electrical or
Optical Engineering, or related technical field.
Compensation Range: $100k - $180k depending upon experience and education.
Mechanical Engineers at nLIGHT DEFENSE Systems, Inc. synchronize all
opto-mechanical, thermal, and packaging aspects of design and integration
for complex High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon systems. HEL weapon systems are
a top modernization priority of the Department of Defense. Headquartered in
Longmont, CO, we are developing rugged and compact HEL weapon system
solutions that can operate and survive in challenging environments. We utilize
analysis driven design and implement elegant athermalized and vibration-rugged
solutions. We need motivated Mechanical Engineers that are excited about
integrating HEL weapon systems and being part of that solution and maybe
someday help put a laser on a shark.
Job Description: Development of cutting-edge laser and electro-optical
systems through rapid development of effective and robust opto-mechanical
system designs. Apply DFX and other design principals to create
manufacturing-friendly, cost-optimized solutions that meet or exceed the
functional design goals. Devise, design and build robust tooling and process
equipment suitable for reliable high-volume manufacturing.
Responsibilities: Design, analysis, and assembly of opto-mechanical
systems from concept through design finalization and integration. Oversee and
participate in the procurement and assembly of engineering builds. Mentorship
of team members.
All applicants must possess or be qualified to obtain a U.S. DoD Personnel
Security Clearance. Preference will be given to candidates with an existing
U.S. DoD Personnel Security Clearance. Further information on requirements to
obtain a security clearance is available
at:https://www.dcsa.mil/mc/pv/mbi/gicp/. Please review this
information before applying.
Required Experience / Capability:
Commitment to Excellence. Attention to Detail. Pride in Workmanship.
The ideal candidate has at least 5+ years of experience working in
opto-mechanical system design and integration, including lens and mirror
mount design.
Ability to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment. Requirements
change frequently and rapid-turn solutions must be developed frequently.
Effectively manage schedule and priorities with minimal daily direction to
meet mid to long-term schedule objectives.
Experience using GitLab, Jira, or similar project management software.
Experience with system level trade studies and documenting engineering
decision making.
Ability to architect design solutions from design requirements and stakeholder
input.
Experience breaking down larger scale system design and delegating engineering
tasking to a diverse team of contributing engineers.
Experience in rugged design for optical systems including kinematic and
flexure mounting.
Experience in rugged design for optical and structural adhesive mounting.
Experience in optical system alignment and test methods.
Experience in Solidworks.
Ability to use hand calculations to verify design requirements.
Exhibit strong troubleshooting skills and familiarity with implementation of
electro-optical systems.
Expertise in fabrication and assembly drawing preparation for manufacturing
(ISO and ANSI standards) including experience with version control and
change record documentation.
Experience in design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA)
Experience with various manufacturing techniques - machining, sheet metal,
injection molding, etc.
Experience in Opto-Mechanical Assembly, including receiving and inspecting
components, dry-assembly, bonding.
Additional Desired Experience / Capability:
Experience in large optic design and analysis.
Experience with wave front error both thermally and assembly induced.
Experience in thermal management systems.
STOP analysis (structural, thermal, optical performance).
Experience in vibration test and analysis and isolation methods, in
particular jitter analysis for opto-mechanical systems.
Experience in finite element analysis (FEA) and modeling of vibration and
thermal effects.
Static structure, fatigue, random vibration, and modal analysis.
Experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.
Experience with MATLAB & Labview.
Experience in Adaptive Optical (AO) Systems and/or High Energy Laser systems.
Exposure to MIL-STD-810 design and/or testing.
Supervisory and/or Management Experience.
Experience with operation of machining, welding, or fabrication equipment.
