Overview In this role, you advance infrared susceptibility and low observables (LO) technologies across concept to production lifecycle. You work with cross-functional teams to mature LO signature capabilities, modeling, and IR materials, contributing to fleet-scale integration and program reviews. You'll lead scientific investigations and coordinate multi-department efforts, shaping next-generation IR signature reduction. This is a high-impact position at the Skunk Works focused on breakthrough LO solutions and IR materials under DoD oversight.
