Infrared Low Observables Engineer (Level 2)

Description:

You will be the Infrared Low Observables Engineer for the Low Observables team (Signature Management & Survivability) which is responsible for advancing infrared susceptibility and low‑observable technology across the entire aircraft survivability lifecycle. What You Will Be Doing As the Infrared Low Observables Engineer you will be responsible for leading technical efforts that shape the next generation of stealth‑focused infrared solutions. 'Your responsibilities will include:' Perform and communicate vehicle signature predictions using Unix‑based codes, EO/IR ray‑trace, Monte Carlo, CEM, MoM, and geometric/physical optics. Conduct laboratory measurements of material coupons to determine optical, electrical, and environmental properties. Design, prototype, and test advanced infrared materials, coatings, and hardware components. Develop and maintain signature prediction tools in C++, Java, and Fortran, creating algorithms for novel problem solving. Lead multidisciplinary design teams and interface with customers, Government forums, and program reviews to drive R D plans and transition to production.
