Engineer II - Space Avionics Component Radiation Security Clearance

Position: Engineer II - Space Avionics Component Radiation with Security Clearance
Job Description The successful candidate will perform on radiation engineering efforts to establish the basis for the selection, development, evaluation, analysis, testing, and documentation of radiation effects in electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts and circuits for spacecraft and their payloads. In addition, should have the capability and desire to continue to learn the basis to predict radiation and space charging environments and define requirements, derive dose / charging through shielding modeling, and assess material tolerance to radiation dose effects.

The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers' missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. What You'll Do:
* Be personally mentored and trained one-on-one by a Staff Consultant (Eng. Sr. Prin. II) Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the Mission Systems Assurance Systems Radiation Effects Department, who has > 20 years of combined direct Radiation Engineering experience.

* Perform, generate and be responsible for Total Ionization Dose (TID), Single Event Effects (SEE), and Displacement Damage Dose (DDD) radiation analysis reports in accordance with customer requirements or BAE Systems standard practices.

* Support TID, SEE, and DDD radiation evaluation test campaigns for spaceflight hardware, including the development of radiation test plans and procedures, conducting radiation testing with laboratories and universities, and generating radiation analysis reports.

* Review part lists against program requirements to assess radiation TID, SEE, DDD, and Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS).

* Work closely with circuit-design teams and system-level teams to determine radiation impacts and ensure compliance to program radiation requirements.

* Review subcontracted electronics units for compliance to program radiation requirements and documenting the review summary and conclusions.

* Lead efforts to define the radiation and space charging environments, along with the definition and management of associated requirements in design and test specifications, in coordination with or in lieu of customer requirements.

* Lead efforts to transport radiation and charging environments through varying fidelity of shielding models for space vehicle, bus, and payload systems to derive the dose and space charging requirements for sub-system analysis.

* Support radiation testing of non-EEE parts (focal planes, materials, etc.), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing of hardware to collect data for reporting compliance to derived performance requirements.
* Use strong presentation skills to convey radiation design risks at program milestone reviews.

* Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.

* Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.

* Perform other duties as necessary. On-Site Work Environment:
This position requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site five days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required.

Working Conditions:

* Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment.

* May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required.

* May access other facilities in various weather conditions. Required Education, Experience, & Skills
* BS degree or higher in Engineering or a related technical field is required plus 2 or more years related experience

* Each higher-level degree, i.e., master's degree and/or Ph.D., may substitute for two years of experience. Degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education.

* Knowledge of test board design, test facilities, and data analysis is required.

* Knowledge of semiconductor physics and radiation effects on electronics is required.

* Knowledge of device physics and radiation effects in electronics.

* Knowledge of radiation effects (TID, SEE, DDD, and ELDRS).

* Knowledge of applicable industry and / or academic practices and standards in EEE parts and radiation effects.

* Electronics test and circuit design capability.

* Demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills, strong written, communication, oral presentations skills, and ability to lead group discussions.

* Have a track record of highly collaborative working skills in a team environment.

* Experience writing clear and concise reports.
