Senior Optical Systems Engineer — Prototype to Flight

Samson Rose

Samson Rose is seeking a Senior Optical Design Engineer to own end-to-end optical subsystems—from initial sketch and simulation through prototyping and flight-grade production hardware. You’ll be in the lab aligning, in the design review defending, and in the field watching performance. If you want optics to matter in systems that ship, this is the role for you, with real ownership, real impact, and real hardware. #J-18808-Ljbffr Samson Rose
