Design the mechanical hardware of free-space optical (FSO) assemblies, from concept and tolerance analysis through prototype build and transfer to manufacturing, while supporting metrology and active-alignment capability development.
Responsibilities
Optomechanical design of the OPU’s free-space optical path: collimators, relay and imaging optics, polarization optics.
Translate optical prescriptions into mechanical architectures — datums, kinematic and flexure mounts, bonded and monolithic sub-assemblies — that hold across temperature and over life.
Lead optomechanical tolerance analysis (RSS and Monte Carlo) together with optical design.
Select materials, adhesives and joining processes for thermal and long-term stability; support thermal and structural FEA and STOP analysis to predict alignment drift.
Produce CAD models, GD&T drawings and assembly documentation; qualify precision optics and mechanical vendors.
Requirements
M.S. or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
Support the Technical Project Manager and mechanical design expert in R&D missions related to High Definition Lighting systems, focusing on optomechanical design.
Responsibilities
Research and evaluate alternatives to the iris diaphragm
Study mechanical integrity and adhesive bonding of the projection lens
