Senior Optical Imaging Production Technician

Would you like to be part of a team of technical experts building advanced imaging products for space, defense, and metrology? If so, we're looking for someone like you to join the Eoptic team! Job Summary At Eoptic, we design and manufacture advanced imaging products for space, defense, and industrial metrology — and we need a hands-on, detail-driven builder to help us deliver them. We're currently seeking a Senior Optical Imaging Production Technician to assemble, align, test, and integrate our multi-modal prism cameras, zoom optics, and larger imaging systems for space and counter-UAS (CUAS) applications. In this role, you will work at the heart of our production and integration process, taking precision opto-mechanical hardware from kitted components through alignment, characterization, environmental testing, and final acceptance. Successful candidates take pride in craftsmanship, thrive in a cleanroom environment, and are reliable in delivering mission-critical hardware with an eye toward precision, repeatability, and quality. If this applies to you, we'd like to hear from you. Job Responsibilities Assemble and align precision opto-mechanical assemblies, including multi-channel prism camera engines, zoom lens assemblies, and larger imaging payloads for space and CUAS platforms. Assemble, align, and characterize zoom optics, including cam and moving-group alignment, focus/zoom tracking verification, and boresight stability across the zoom range. Perform optical alignment and bonding of prisms, beamsplitters, filters, and sensors to tight positional and angular tolerances using interferometers, autocollimators, alignment telescopes, and custom tooling. Execute optical and imaging system test procedures — MTF, boresight, focus, distortion, radiometric and spectral characterization — and record, analyze, and report results. Support environmental testing (thermal cycling, vibration, thermal vacuum) and pre/post-test verification of flight and field hardware. Build, maintain, and improve production fixtures, test stations, and alignment tooling; recommend process improvements that increase yield and throughput. Develop, update, and maintain assembly work instructions, travelers, and quality control documentation for Eoptic products. Perform inspection and handling of precision optics and sensitive electro-optical components in accordance with cleanroom and ESD protocols. Work closely with optical, mechanical, and electrical engineers to transfer new designs from prototype into repeatable production, and mentor junior technicians. Support root-cause investigation and rework of non-conforming hardware in coordination with the quality team. Qualifications Required Associate degree in Optical Systems Technology, Precision Machining/Optics, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on experience 5+ years of experience assembling, aligning, and testing precision optical or electro-optical systems Hands-on experience with optical alignment and metrology equipment (interferometers, autocollimators, collimators, CMMs, or similar) Experience with adhesive bonding, staking, and torque-controlled assembly of precision opto-mechanics Proficiency reading mechanical drawings, optical prints, and GD
