Job Description

Company Overview

Teledyne Judson Technologies (TJT) is a global leader in detectors from the Visible to Long Wave Infra-red spectrum, offering an extensive range of single element infrared detectors. Two-dimensional focal plane arrays (InGaAs, InSb, and HgCdTe) and Integrated Dewar Cooler Assemblies (IDCA) complement our detector portfolio. The high performance of our detectors makes them highly valued in both commercial markets and critical space applications.

Position Summary

TJT is seeking a Systems Engineer to design, develop, and characterize packages and integrated dewar cooled arrays for infrared detectors. The successful candidate will be well versed in Solidworks and Ansys, and can prepare, generate and analyze structural (including factors of safety), thermal (computational fluid dynamics), and vibrational simulations. Previous experience with photodetectors/cameras and/or in optical design/modeling is considered a plus. The candidate will generate models and technical drawings, and support part procurement, product assembly, and product test as needed. The candidate must be able to work both independently and in collaboration with a cross functional team as necessary to ensure successful development of new products.

The ideal candidate has significant experience in ultra-high vacuum processing, including but not limited to loading and unloading devices onto a vacuum manifold, getter activation and degas, pinch-off, and leak check. Experience with laser welding, and metrology is desired.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

+ Evaluates customers’ requirements and designs/specifies the detector focal plane packaging and cooling options. Applications range from commercial/industrial to high-reliability space/military

+ Provides analysis related to the design, development, and implementation of parts, components, and other materials for mechanical assemblies

+ Generates necessary technical content (including models, drawings, calculations and simulation results) to review customer specification and prepare charts accordingly for internal- or customer-facing technical reviews

+ Prepares cost models and generates project schedules. Prepares risk analysis and generates risk matrix

+ Leads other designers to detail component parts and/or assist with system development

+ Performs first-order analysis of heat transfer, structural, random vibration, and fastener pre-loads

+ Performs Finite Element Analysis

+ Supports material selection, including but not limited to sizing of TECs, cryo-coolers, and getters

+ Develops test strategies, fixtures, and tooling. Prepares test procedures and test reports as necessary to document designs, procedures, and results

+ Manually calculates stress on components

+ Calculates vacuum life (based on package design, component selection, free volume, and other required inputs)

+ Conducts failure analyses and supports identification of failure root cause and appropriate solutions

+ Follows import/export requirements, consulting with facility trade compliance personnel

+ Comfortable leading a project team and work

Qualifications & Competencies

+ M.S. or Ph. D degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field and >15 years of directly related experience and/or training (>10 years for Ph.D) in a related field.

+ Minimum 5 years of demonstrated detector packaging with an emphasis on vacuum Dewar design

+ Ability to read, analyze, and interpret general business periodicals, professional journals, technical procedures, or governmental regulations. Ability to organize data and write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals. Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients and customers.

+ Significant experience in high vacuum processing, including but not limited to loading and unloading devices onto a vacuum manifold, RGA analysis, getter activation and degas, pinch-off, and leak check (Helium). Experience with laser welding and metrology.

+ Experience with design/modeling and simulations in Ansys and Solidworks. Familiarity with Zemax considered a plus. The candidate should also have knowledge of applicable database and ERP software and office productivity applications.

+ Experience with GD&T (General Dimensioning and Tolerancing), ASME Y14

+ Experience conducting Design of Experiments

Other Skills and Abilities

+ Basic Knowledge of ISO and/or AS9100.

+ HALT/HASS Testing

+ Familiarity with MIL-STD 883

+ LabView, MS Visio, MATLAB

Employment eligibility

+ Due to the type of work at the facility and certain access restrictions, successful applicants must be a U.S. Person.
