Career Opportunities
large semistructured data sets and developing pattern extraction algorithms is desired. Knowledge
of any subset of Java, MATLAB, C/C++, database systems, web services, and related technologies
is desired. Strong communication skills, both oral and written, are required. Familiarity with remote
sensing technologies and military intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems is a
plus. Must be willing to work in a multidisciplinary team environment. (104-01-07)
Lasers and Laser Systems
Solid State Division 8
Groups 82
LASER APPLICATIONS ENGINEER
Will work with staff to develop laser technology and laser-based subsystems for applications
such as biosensors, lidars, directed energy, and optical countermeasures. Will help in many
facets of laboratory research, including laboratory experiments and data analysis, and optical,
mechanical, and electrical design. Should be able to carry responsibility, with little technical
supervision, for a portion of a project with a fast-paced interdisciplinary team.
Qualifications: BS in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science. A general
understanding of lasers or optical engineering and some hands-on experience are required.
Strong design, experimental, and analytical skills are essential. Familiarity with laboratory
electronic and optical equipment is a must. Hands-on familiarity with lasers and laser systems
is desired. Significant electronic design or programming experience and a good mathematical
background to aid in algorithm development are pluses. (82-01-07)
Group 82
LASER AND LASER-BASED INSTRUMENT ENGINEER
Will develop laser technology and laser-based subsystems for applications such as biosensors,
lidars, directed energy, and optical countermeasures. Will formulate research plans, conduct
research, report to sponsors, and supervise support personnel. Should be able to work on
small individual projects, as well as on larger projects in interdisciplinary teams.
Qualifications: PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent (such as Chemistry with
background in laser spectroscopy, for example, in applications such as the development of
laser-based techniques for studying fast chemical reaction dynamics). A good understanding
of laser physics and optical engineering is required. Must have extensive hands-on experience
in the development of new lasers or new laser-based instruments and systems. Examples
include fiber lasers, solid-state lasers, semiconductor lasers; also laser-based systems
for metrology (laser stabilization), lidar systems, and high-power laser systems. Strong
experimental, analytical, and communication skills are essential. Some chemistry knowledge
is a plus. Electronic design, software, and algorithm development experience is desired.
