JOB TITLE: Electro-Optical Research Engineer/Scientist

CLEARANCE: TS/SCI clearance with CI Polygraph (preferred)

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Deliver Scientific, Engineering, and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to a Government Program Manager (PM). This is an Intelligence Community Research project which will be located in the Washington metropolitan area (WMA).

The goal of this research will be to develop technologies that will enable energy-efficient high-data-rate interconnect between a superconducting data processor at 4 kelvins and a room temperature control system. The program is primarily interested in components for the data egress system. A possible later program will also consider data ingress, and will integrate components into a complete data transmission system.

JOB REQUIREMENTS:

• PhD in Physics or Electrical Engineering
• Prefer Sr. Level candidate with at least 2+ years of post-degree laboratory experience
• Technical familiarity with current research approaches to advanced electro-optic modulator development AND an understanding of the effects that very low temperatures have on the governing physics of these devices
• Experience in performing modeling of electro-optic communication systems
• Familiarity with room temperature interconnect and packaging of devices for electro-optic communication systems and integrated optical systems
• Understanding of advanced communication modulation schemes including WDM and homodyne optical detection
• Ability to proactively manage multiple concurrent tasks
• Ability to work constructively in a team environment
• Ability to obtain a security clearance if not already security cleared. TS/SCI with polygraph, preferred
• Experience with general cryogenic engineering and cryogenic packaging, preferred
• Experience with cryogenic packaging of fiber optic devices, components and systems, preferred

Additional Qualifications:

• PhD in physics, mathematics, computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering
• TS/SCI clearance with polygraph, preferred
• Experience in dealing with intellectual property (IP) issues related to electronics development and/or software tool development, preferred
• R (Programming language)
• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively and efficiently within a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment; ability to write concisely; persuasive speaking/writing skills; ability to accurately convey technical and scientific issues to people with varying levels of expertise
