Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is one of four Lockheed Martin business areas.\nWe are seeking to hire an Electro-Optical (EO) Engineer to support the development and characterization of quantum technologies associated with electro-optical and laser systems.\nThis is an opportunity to apply foundational physics and engineering skills to emerging quantum-EO applications under the guidance of senior engineers. Skill set should include physics-based modeling, laser system fundamentals, basic optical alignment, and/or data analysis/algorithm support. The EO Engineer will work closely with senior technical staff to understand the sensitivities associated with quantum-enhanced EO/laser systems and support system design trades, test planning, and data analysis. This is a technical contributor role with growing opportunities to communicate analysis results to the immediate team and project leads. Understanding of modern US defense systems, EO/IR systems, or quantum technologies is a plus.\nBasic Qualifications\nCandidate must demonstrate the ability to perform the following Electro-Optical Engineering assignments, with mentorship and guidance from senior staff:\nDemonstrate foundational knowledge of EO systems, optical/infrared materials and coatings, sensors, and laser systems.\nDemonstrate knowledge or experience in radiometric EO analysis and simulation.\nDemonstrate the ability to utilize MATLAB (or equivalent, e.g., Python) to support EO performance analysis simulations or data reduction.\nSupport parametric studies and trade analyses for EO sensor and system development.\nAssist in building, aligning, and characterizing laboratory optical/laser setups for test and evaluation.\nSupport design and execution of instrumentation setups for lab- and system-level testing.\nMust be a US Citizen, as an Interim Clearance is required to start. \nDesired Skills\nAcademic, research, or internship experience in quantum optics, quantum sensing, or quantum information science, and interest in applying quantum principles (e.g., photon statistics, entanglement, quantum coherence) to EO or laser systems.\nFamiliarity with single-photon detectors, photon-counting techniques, or coherence/interferometric measurements.\nExposure to industry/analysis tools such as MODTRAN6, MATLAB, Python, or Zemax.\nBasic experience with laser system characterization (pulse energy, divergence, beam profile) and test procedure development.\nInterest in system-level integration of quantum technologies with EO/laser platforms, including requirements and digital engineering concepts.\nCurrent TS/SCI\nPay Information\nFull-Time Salary Range: $81100.00 - $150500.00\nAt Lockheed Martin, we know mission success starts with taking care of our people. Our Total Rewards program is designed to attract top talent, support your well-being, and help you grow-both professionally and personally.\nThe salary range for this position is as listed on the requisition. Please note that the salary information listed is a general guideline only. Lockheed Martin considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/ training, key skills as well as market(work location) and business considerations when extending an offer.\nBenefits offered: Medical, Dental, Vision, Flexible work arrangements and schedules (e.g., 4x10), 401(k) match, Paid time off, Holidays, Parental Leave, EAP, Flexible Spending Accounts, Education Assistance, Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability.\nAnnual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs may be offered depending on the position. Payments under these annual programs are not guaranteed and can vary from year to year and are tied to a range of performance metrics.\nFor (Washington state applicants only) Non-represented full-time employees: accrue at least 10 hours per month of Paid Time Off (PTO) to be used for incidental absences and other reasons; receive at least 90 hours for holidays. Represented full time employees accrue 6.67 hours of Vacation per month; accrue up to 52 hours of sick leave annually; receive at least 96 hours for holidays. PTO, Vacation, sick leave, and holiday hours are prorated based on start date during the calendar year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4590,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Education assistance","Flexible schedule","Life insurance","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Manufacturing","Military"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T18:46:13Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":182500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":150500,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T09:58:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15034,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":37086},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=37086"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flockheed-martin-electro-optical-engineer-sp-active-eo-engr-lg2-quantum"}]}
