Our expertise spans aircraft structural design, analysis, and testing, including support for FAA certifications. Quartus excels in commercial and defense aircraft applications, as well as custom optical systems like laser communications terminals and lidar payloads with both aerial and space applications.
What will you do?
As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer III in our Aerospace Sector, you will design and develop robust mechanics for high performance optical systems in challenging environments. You will work as part of a team of creative cross-disciplinary engineers to meet project and customer's requirements and gain exposure to a wide variety of optical systems from airborne remote sensing to industrial automation and everything in between. At Quartus, you will be involved in the entire project lifecycle from concept and design to build and alignment.
Essential Job Functions:
  • Design and develop opto-mechanical assemblies and sub-systems
  • Design and build prototypes, create detailed drawings and instructions for production
  • Perform risk and tolerance analysis and perform subsystem FMEA's
  • Drive appropriate mechanical design elements by building a tolerance budget for each component
  • Responsible for technical documentation (Models, CAD drawings, Simulations, BOMs, etc.) and preparing PowerPoint slides for customer design reviews
  • Work closely with program manager and customer on technical requirements
  • Work on projects independently, and with a multi-disciplined team of engineers and technicians
  • Effectively manage multiple tasks and juggle multiple projects
  • Mentor and assist junior engineers

Location
Position is based in San Diego, CA with a hybrid schedule.*
*The hybrid work arrangement is subject to change based on business needs including but not limited to training, performance, or other operational requirements. Any physical location change may impact future employment.

  • 4 - 8 years of experience in:
    • Opto-mechanical design and integration for high performance optical systems in challenging environments
    • Optical system design and opto-mechanical packaging
    • Design of electromechanical mechanisms and precision mechanics (kinematic mounts)
    • Heat transfer and design of thermal management solutions
    • GD&T application per ASME Y14.5M
    • Design using CAD/CAE software (Solidworks preferred)
    • Design validation using proper finite element analysis techniques
  • Must be a US Person (U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident)

Compensation and Benefits
Opto-Mechanical Engineer III pay range: $94,581 - 157,635*
*This pay range represents base pay. In addition, you may be eligible for additional benefits and compensation.
