The role
As a Staff Optical Engineer at Inversion, you will own major elements of the optical systems that enable our vehicles to sense, navigate, and perform in extreme environments. You will lead the development of sensor windows, seeker architectures, and a variety of spectral camera systems from early trades through analysis, integration, and test. This is a unique opportunity to define the optical hardware for first-of-their-kind reentry systems and help ensure it performs when it matters most.
What you will do
- Lead the development of sensor window and seeker design and analysis for Inversion flight systems.
- Own the development of spectral camera systems, including architecture, component selection, integration, and performance trades.
- Perform optical analyses including transmission, image quality, stray light, thermal effects, and environmental impacts on performance.
