Bright Silicon Technologies

About the Role Bright Silicon Technologies, located in Pleasanton, Ca, is seeking a Lead Systems Engineer to lead the optomechanical design and architecture of our Free-Space Optical (FSO) terminal. You will be responsible for transforming functional block diagrams and project requirements into precision Pointing, Acquisition, and Tracking (PAT) hardware capable of maintaining tight line-of-sight lock on airborne targets. What You'll Do Drive System Architecture: Translate product specifications and government program goals into technical system requirements, developing Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and coordinate teams to deliver a dynamic Pointing, Acquisition, and Tracking (PAT) optomechanical system for line-of-sight acquisition of dynamic airborne targets and free-space optical communications. Transform Concepts into Physical Hardware: Take conceptual system block diagrams and product requirements (sketches, functional flows, concept powerpoints), translate...

About the Role Bright Silicon Technologies (Pleasanton, CA) is developing high-throughput Free-Space Optical (FSO) terminals designed for ultra-low latency airborne and tactical mesh networks. We are seeking a Lead Systems Engineer to own the architecture and system integration of our next-generation FSO flight terminals. In this role, you will bridge higher-level mission concepts and physical flight hardware-translating high-level link budgets and functional block diagrams into flight-ready Pointing, Acquisition, and Tracking (PAT) payloads capable of sub-microradian optical lock under dynamic airborne conditions. What You'll Do Drive System Architecture & Optics ICDs: Translate mission requirements and government program goals into technical system specifications. Author comprehensive Interface Control Documents (ICDs) across optical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical boundaries for fast-tracking PAT optomechanical sub-assemblies. Transform Concepts into...
