The Senior Radiation Effects Engineer joins the engineering team to support the development and verification of radiation-resilient electronic components, circuits, subsystems, and systems for national security missions. Working alongside electrical designers, systems engineers, and reliability engineers, the individual will independently execute engineering tasks, own assigned analyses, and lead test activities. Key responsibilities include performing radiation-effects analysis, developing radiation test plans, selecting meaningful measurements, and interpreting experimental data to ensure mission-critical designs meet survivability requirements. The role requires a working understanding of radiation effects on semiconductor components and the ability to connect device-level susceptibility to circuit behavior and system performance. This position addresses the technical challenge of ensuring high-reliability space electronics can withstand harsh radiation environments while maintaining functional integrity during complex national security operations.
