YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is seeking a skilled Radiation Engineer II to support the radiation analysis, component testing, and mitigation strategy development for our spacecraft electrical systems. You will be a key technical contributor to radiation hardness assurance across our programs — developing environment models, executing test campaigns, and maintaining the parts library that underpins our mission reliability. You bring hands-on experience with radiation test facilities, strong analytical skills, and the ability to communicate radiation and reliability risks clearly to engineers and program stakeholders alike.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop TID, SEE, and DDD models for any orbital regime using industry-standard tools and best practices

Budget, schedule, plan, and execute radiation test campaigns at external facilities (protons, heavy ions, gamma, neutron) or through third-party partners

Provide unit and mission-level radiation analyses including SEE rates, availability estimates, lifetime TID and DDD exposures, and associated artifacts for requirements verification

Support reliable part selection, circuit design, and passive and active radiation mitigation strategies to increase probability of mission success

Maintain and grow the parts library database with critical radiation and reliability information

Assist in developing radiation and reliability engineering processes and provide cross-discipline training to instill a culture of survivability awareness

Support proposal writing, requirements development, schedule baselines, customer briefings, and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with credible radiation and reliability analyses

Communicate product development status and issues with leadership and stakeholders

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or related field

2-4 years of professional experience in space radiation engineering or a related discipline

Proficiency with radiation environment modeling tools such as AE9/AP9/SPM, CREME
96, OMERE, or SPENVIS

Familiarity with radiation test standards including MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-883, ECSS-Q-ST-60-15C, and NASA testing guidelines

Experience planning and executing SEE, TID, and DDD test campaigns

Proficiency with data analysis and modeling software (Python, MATLAB, or equivalent)

Strong lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, source meters, power supplies, and automated data collection
