Scientist I

BAE Systems is looking for Laser Scientists. These Scientists will be responsible for the generation and demonstration of SWaP-intensive laser-based technology in the UV/VIS/IR regions for use in military and aerospace environments.  Candidates must have analytical and practical laboratory-based experience in multiple laser technologies including, but not limited to: semiconductor lasers, fiber lasers, solid state lasers, and non-linear optical materials.
The ideal candidate will:

• Work well within a collaborative multidisciplinary team
• Have strong written and oral communication skills
• Work independently with minimal daily direction
• Effectively present technical and program information to large audiences

 The ideal candidate's responsibilities include:

• Support Independent Research and Development (IRaD) projects
• Investigate the application of scientific principles to new concepts and applications
• Provide timely and comprehensive reporting of technical and program progress
• Support collaboration with external vendors, industry and academic partners to mature laser technology
• Communication with current, past and potential Customers
• Design, demonstrate and analyze optical performance of Proof-of-Concept lasers
• Author/Co-Author publications such as journals, proceedings and conference posters
• Synthesize and mature Intellectual Property
• Contribute to Business Development and Proposal activities

Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.
