What Your Job Will Be Like:

We seek an experienced and motivated engineer or physicist to perform radiation effects experimentation in support of component and system qualification activities as well as novel research of the same. This includes testing piece part microelectronics as well as functional circuit assemblies to inform design and qualification activities. In this position, your work may range from performing experiments, informing design, or running simulations to predict and better understand electronic performance in radiation environments.

The projects support will include a range of direct ND PRT support as well as supporting and leading novel research funded through Science and Technology (S&T) portfolios as well as Lab Directed Research and Development.

You will work in a collaborative environment with a complementary team and have access to some of the world's most powerful facilities, tools, and expertise to evaluate device performance in radiation environments including neutrons, x-rays, gamma, and electromagnetic environments to understand damage mechanisms, single‑event effects (SEE), dose rate effects, and total ionizing dose (TID) effects.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

Team with other specialists to perform radiation experiments at innovative facilities, designing experiments, and analyzing results.

Perform experiments or simulations to investigate radiation effects in electronics and other test objects.

Summarize findings in internal reports and as appropriate, publish results in journal articles and present at conferences.

Clearly communicate new insights or observations to internal and external stakeholders and customers.

Some travel will be required for activities such as performing experiments and attending project meetings and conferences.

Due to the nature of the work, the selected candidate must be able to work onsite.
