What You'll Be Doing- Learn to perform Nuclear Hardness and Survivability (NH&S) analysis for satellite electronics units, subsystems, payloads, and missile systems
- Understand test plans and test reports for radiation testing of electronic components against requirements on total dose, displacement damage, prompt dose rate latchup/upset, and single event effects
- Learn to prepare survivability analyses for space environments such as micrometeoroids, atomic oxygen, solar energetic particles, and single event effects
- Understand plans and procedures for component and box-level Flash X-ray testing
- Learn to perform radiation environment estimations using DTRA M&S tools (ASSIST, QPROMPT, DGBETS, GSCENARIO, PRPSIM, FAB4DA, EMREP, GAP-RF), testable hardware toolkit (THTk), FASTRAD, MCNP, SPENVIS, CREME96, GEANT4, Ansys Charge Plus, SIRE2, Warren and other radiation analysis tools
- Review and understand radiation requirements and compliance at PDRs, CDRs, and other program reviews as required
- Review of industry to review survivability/ radiation plans and implement best practices
What You Need to be Successful Minimum Requirements:
- Degree in physics, nuclear engineering, or other related degree
- Five or more years of increasingly responsible and related engineering experience; Time spent obtaining advanced degree counts towards this.
- Proficient programming with scientific computing languages like Matlab, Mathematica, IDL, Python, or C++.
- This position requires ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the US government. U.S citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
How You Can Stand Out It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:
- Experience in Nuclear Hardness and Survivability
- Knowledge of radiation effects on electric components and systems
- Proven ability to review NH&S analyses and verify NH&S requirements are met
- Proficiency addressing SGEMP in design and analysis of flight hardware
- Skilled in performing radiation predictions using ASSIST, THTk, FASTRAD, MCNP, SPENVIS, CREME96 or other radiation tools
- Exposure to machine learning or artificial intelligence methods, and implementation experience
- Background evaluating electronic components for space flight units
- Expertise in electron/ proton/ neutron/ photon transport analysis
- Understanding of prompt dose effects
- Active TS/SCI or Q clearance
