Principal Radiation Effects Engineer

Verus Research is searching for a Principal Radiation Effects Engineer to perform research and development efforts across multiple technical areas, including radiation effects in electronics testing and analysis, radiation sources and dosimetry, radiation hardening design and technologies, and complex system integration and test efforts.

The primary role for the Principal Radiation Effects Engineer will be participation in and leading the development of testing requirements, test execution, and analysis of results from radiation testing on electronic and microelectronic parts and sub-systems. The Principal Radiation Effects Engineer is also expected to work collaboratively with teams of engineers and scientists to achieve integrated outcomes. Verus Research is committed to solving our customers’ most challenging technical problems and we seek solution-oriented individuals to enhance our team’s ability to thrive in this role.

This posting is for work in Albuquerque, NM.

The ideal candidate for the Principal Radiation Effects Engineer position will possess a strong mix of experience with radiation testing and analysis of electronic parts, the ability to work within and lead test teams, and the ability to communicate verbally and provide coherent written reporting of technical outcomes. Success in this exciting role will stem from:

• A master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Condensed Matter Physics, or Nuclear Engineering, or a bachelor’s degree with additional years of experience in lieu of advanced degree
• 10-15 years’ experience performing testing, analysis, and simulations supporting radiation hardening and qualification of electronic devices and systems, as well as testing a variety of electronics at accelerators, reactors, and pulse power facilities and utilizing the dosimetry and other diagnostics employed at these facilities
• Experience in RF board design, grounding and shielding, high-frequency and low noise measurement techniques, analog and digital device testing, and parametric semiconductor device measurements
• Experience in measurement and characterization of radiation effects (prompt dose rate, TID, nDD, and SEE) in electrical devices
• Familiarity with MIL-HNDBK-814 and MIL-STD-883, radiation qualification and hardening techniques, radiation transport codes, electrical circuit design and analysis, waveform analysis, automated integrated circuit test equipment, instrument control software, space and nuclear radiation environments
