## Description

The EO/IR Subsystem & Seeker Development Portfolio at Leidos is seeking a highly motivated EO/IR Assembly, Integration, & Test (AI&T) Lead to join our team in the development of cutting-edge EO/IR sensor systems.

This role is critical in supporting the cross-functional integration and testing of advanced electro-optical and infrared sensor systems that enhance our capabilities in defence and aerospace applications.

The ideal candidate will have a background in systems assembly and integration across electrical, mechanical, and optical domains, with a passion for innovative technology and proven experience in the development or integration of electro-optical technology.

**Primary/Daily Responsibilities:**

- Lead assembly of EO/IR sensor systems, coordinating across electrical, mechanical, and optical engineering disciplines.

- Interface with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware, software, and optical components.

- Develop and execute assembly, integration, and test plans for complex sensor systems, ensuring compliance with performance specifications and requirements.

- Prepare, review, and execute unit build procedures and work instructions of sensor systems in adherence to a low-rate production build schedule.

- Conduct system-level testing, calibration, and validation of EO/IR sensors in laboratory and field environments.

- Ensure the laboratory and production environments meet military standards and regulations for quality control, FOD control, ESD protection, etc. (AS9100).

- Troubleshoot and resolve multi-disciplinary integration issues spanning electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical domains.

- Manage technical interfaces between subsystems, including detectors, optics, electronics, and mechanical assemblies.

- Document integration processes, test procedures, test results, and technical specifications for project records.

- Participate in design reviews, integration reviews, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

- Support system commissioning, acceptance testing, and delivery activities.

- Support manufacturing and production planning.

**Basic Qualifications:**

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field, and 4 – 8 years of prior relevant experience; or Masters with 2 – 6 years of prior relevant experience.

- Experience in systems integration, with specific focus on EO/IR sensor systems or related electro-optical technologies.

- Proven experience working across multiple engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, optical).

- Understanding of EO/IR sensor components including detectors, optics, electronics, and mechanical assemblies.

- Experience with system-level testing, integration procedures, and validation methodologies.

- Proficiency with test equipment and instrumentation relevant to EO/IR systems (e.g., optical test benches, thermal imaging equipment, signal analyzers).

- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

- Must be a resident or willing to relocate to the Huntsville, AL area.

- Candidate must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final Secret Clearance or meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience with infrared sensor technology, seeker systems, and targeting systems.

- Knowledge of thermal management and environmental testing for sensor systems.

- Experience with military standards and regulations related to defence systems (e.g., MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461).

- Familiarity with Ubuntu or other Linux-based operating systems.

- Knowledge of software programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C/C++) for test automation and data analysis.

- Knowledge of manufacturing processes including tooling, kitting, quality control, and 5S/Lean.
