Radiation Effects Engineer

What you'll do

• Perform heavy ion, proton, and TID testing to qualify electronic components against space radiation.
• Build and maintain a database of radiation-tested components for satellite use.
• Develop processes for managing hardware test results and documentation.
• Quantify radiation risks with design teams to develop mitigation strategies for common error modes.
• Lead root-cause analysis investigations for on-orbit radiation events.
• Create tools and dashboards to organize and visualize data from on-orbit events.
• Analyze satellite enclosures to determine their robustness against Total Ionizing Dose (TID).

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree or above in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
• 3+ years of experience in avionics development including electronic component selection and radiation test.
• Hands-on experience conducting radiation test campaigns using heavy ion and proton beam facilities for SEE characterization and gamma ray sources for TID testing.
• Experience evaluating Single Event Effects (SEE) and Total Ionizing Dose (TID) on electronic components and systems.
• Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field (preferred).
• Experience with NASA, Defense, or Commercial Space programs (preferred).
