Engineering Technician - Full Time - Chantilly, VA - Active TS/SCI w/ CI Poly
We are seeking a technical professional with hands-on experience in building, testing, or assembling precision components who will help build, integrate, and test photonic components into larger system assemblies. We're looking for candidates with a solid technical foundation from electronics, mechanical systems, optical work, machine shop operations, or related fields, who can read and follow technical specifications and work with precision equipment.
If you have experience interpreting engineering drawings, following detailed procedures, working with machining equipment (lathes, mills, CNC), or working in lab/manufacturing environments, your skills are transferable here. While photonics experience is a plus, it's not required, we provide comprehensive on-the-job training to help technicians from other technical disciplines learn photonics-specific skills, including fiber optics handling, optical alignment techniques, and specialized testing procedures. If you have the technical aptitude and attention to detail, we'll teach you the rest. This on-site position is based in Chantilly, VA and involves conducting precision lab work at facilities throughout the greater Dulles, VA area.
