Description
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding their capability to provide Optical Engineering and Optomechanical Engineering services. The laboratory is forecasting potential resource shortfalls across upcoming flight programs and is seeking external partners to support the full engineering life cycle of specialized instruments. The ideal partner should possess capabilities such as high-level optical design and modeling, complex optomechanical hardware design, and hands-on integration and verification within cleanroom environments. The partner should also have experience with cryogenic material engineering, precision mechanical stackups, and finite element analysis.
Some key areas of focus include:
• Optical Systems Engineering & Performance Analysis
• Optomechanical Flight Hardware Design & Structural Analysis
• Optical & Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE)
• Optical Procurement
• Cleanroom Floor Operations, AI&T, & Production Management
