Duties:

Primary role is to support the MSS Sensor Performance Team in developmental test of Electro -Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems. Testing involves both open-air range and laboratory operation of optical instrumentation, to include radiometers, scientific thermal cameras, atmospheric transmission equipment, blackbody/visible light sources, and spectral reflectance instruments. In addition to executing staple RTC testing, a key expectation of this position is to help drive the development of novel EO/IR test capabilities and facilitate the development of software tools to test sensor-based technologies. Secondary role is to support other MSTD mission sets as needed when/if EO/IR sensor testing OPTEMPO slows down.

Comments:

Compliance with health mandates dictated by the contract may be required as a condition of employment.
