Senior Laser Optical Communications Engineer
Ravee Optics IncThe next space race is not about rockets. It's about data in orbit. Thousands of satellites, on-orbit compute nodes, and autonomous space systems will soon require high-speed, secure, and scalable connectivity in space. RF links cannot keep up with the data demands of this new orbital infrastructure. Ravee Optics is building next-generation optical communications terminals to power the future of inter-satellite connectivity and on-orbit data transport.
Role Description We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Laser Optical Communications Engineer/Architect to lead the design, development, and testing of advanced free-space optical (FSO) communication systems. You will work at the intersection of photonics, laser systems, and space/airborne communications to build next-generation terminals for terrestrial, airborne, and space-based platforms. Key Responsibilities: - Lead architecture and design of laser communication terminals and subsystems, including optical benches, beam steering modules, and acquisition/tracking mechanisms. - Develop link budgets, simulate end-to-end optical communication performance, and optimize for SWaP-C constraints. - Drive component selection, integration, and system-level validation (e.g., lasers, modulators, beam expanders, fiber optics). - Collaborate with electrical, RF, mechanical, and software teams to integrate optical comm systems into airborne or space-qualified platforms. - Support optical alignment, calibration, and test (including pointing, tracking, and acquisition) in lab and field settings. - Engage in customer briefings, system requirement definition, and roadmap planning for optical comm architectures. - Author technical documents, system specs, and support IP and proposal development. Qualifications - M.S. or Ph.D. in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. - 7+ years of experience in free-space optical communication or directed energy systems. - Hands-on expertise in laser systems, optical alignment, and fiber-coupled systems. - Familiarity with optical simulation tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V, FRED) and MATLAB/Python. - Experience with optical communication protocols and pointing/tracking systems for free space optical communication or other applications. - Understanding optical link impairments, turbulence effects, and acquisition/tracking strategies. Requirements - Experience with space-qualified optical systems or flight hardware. - Knowledge of standards like CCSDS or optical inter-satellite link (OISL) protocols. - Familiarity with SWIR/MWIR optics, MEMS beam steering, or Risley prisms. - Background in secure communications, encryption, or waveform design. - Active security clearance or ability to obtain one. Benefits - Competitive compensation and equity packages. - Technical leadership in a rapidly advancing application space. - A collaborative, multidisciplinary team working on next-gen optical communications. - Opportunities for technical growth, system-level ownership, and leadership. - Flexible work environment with strong emphasis on innovation and impact.
