ROLE

As a member of our Radiation Effects team, the Sr. Radiation Effects Engineer will be responsible for the conception, definition, execution, and reporting of radiation effects testing. Radiation effects environments include total ionizing dose, prompt dose, neutron, proton, electron, and heavy ion.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

As a key member of our Radiation Effects team, the Senior Radiation Effects Engineer will:

• Lead the conception, execution, and reporting of radiation effects tests, covering total ionizing dose, prompt dose, neutron, proton, electron, and heavy ion environments.
• Provide radiation test and analysis results to cross-discipline design and system engineers.
• Develop and debug complex test designs.
• Prepare and execute test plans and analyses for single event effect, total ionizing dose, and displacement damage dose environments.
• Perform testing to characterize parts and assemblies for total ionizing dose and single event effect sensitivities.
• Make recommendations and implement improvements for radiation testing and data collection.
• Conduct root-cause analysis of component and board failures.
• Understand and apply relevant testing standards (e.g., MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-883, F1192, JESD57A).
• Travel regularly and work a non-standard schedule for radiation testing.
• Customer interaction, supporting design teams and implementing mitigation strategies.
