Radiation Test Engineer

About the role

The Radiation Test Engineer plays a crucial role in ensuring that our spacecraft electronics are capable of operating in the harsh radiation environments characteristic of high orbits. This position involves hands-on work in validating parts for these conditions and supporting the design of fault-tolerant systems.

Responsibilities

• Support the design of fault tolerant electrical systems for operating in a radiation environment
• Simulate and model the GTO and GEO radiation environments on PCBA designs
• Cook up and run radiation testing campaigns to upscreen components
• Develop fault-tolerant systems & operations into the spacecraft by working closely with the rest of the team
• Support other electrical design, bringup, and test activities
• Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in nuclear engineering, electrical engineering, physics, or equivalent technical field
• A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
• Experience with electrical design
• Experience designing and testing for radiation effects
• Experience in testing analog and digital circuits
• Experience with fault-tolerant high reliability systems
• US Citizenship or Green Card

Bonus

• Experience developing electrical designs in space or other high-radiation environments
• Experience with the Geostationary radiation environment (TID, SEE, DDD)
• Experience running tests at radiation labs
• Experience with designing dosimeter circuits
• ECAD + MCAD Experience (Altium, Solidworks)
