GTRI's Cooperative Education (“co-op”) program offers you extensive opportunities to participate in diverse scientific and technological endeavors, use state-of-the-art equipment and rapidly improve your technical and leadership skills. The program allows you to alternate three semesters of full-time work at GTRI with semesters of full-time school.

This job is for a student assistant position to work in the Opto-Mechanical (OM) Branch in the Electro-Optical Systems Innovation Division (EOSID) within the Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory (EOSL) at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) starting in the Summer 2023 semester.

EOSL's Opto-Mechanical co-op will work in a multi-disciplinary team of engineers to solve challenging optical remote sensing problems. Individual will be responsible for designing mechanical interfaces and fixtures, generating detailed drawings, performing test and analysis, participating in assembly and integration, and involved in the fabrication and procurement of custom components. Individual will work closely with:

• Sensitive optics and opto-mechanical components • Lasers • Motors and electronics • 3D Printers and scanners • Various hand tools and machinery (mill, bandsaw, drill press) • Basic metrology tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicator) • 3D modeling and analysis

EOSID's research is performed in all areas of the imaging chain. From basic geometric/radiometric modeling and analysis, through design and fabrication, to test and evaluation in the field, our team provides subject matter expertise to our customers in order to solve their most challenging problems. Our portfolio consists of research programs in and related to the following application areas: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); Undersea Warfare; Atmospheric Optics; Tactical Imaging, e.g. Degraded Visual Environments (DVE); Automatic Target Recognition; Intelligence Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED); Free-space Optical Communications; Space Situational Awareness (SSA); Tagging, Tracking, and Locating (TTL); Remote Sensing; etc.
