Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math) discipline from an ABET accredited university.
Must have an active U.S. Government DoD Secret security clearance at time of application, current and within scope OR Must have an active U.S. Government DoD Secret security clearance at time of application, current and within scope, with an ability to obtain and maintain Special Access Program (SAP) approval within a reasonable period, as determined by the company to meet its business need
2+ year experience performing test and analysis on digital/analog semiconductor parts
Understanding of circuit modeling (SPICE, PSPICE, LTSPICE) techniques and implementation.

Responsibilities

Modeling semiconductor radiation effects, including Total Ionizing Dose (TID) effects, Neutron Displacement Damage (NDD) effects, Prompt Gamma Dose Rate effects, and Single Event Effects (SEE) using PSPICE.
Analyzing and assessing the impact of radiation on the performance of aerospace vehicle electronics and subsystems.
Evaluating electronic parts, cables, and circuit cards to ensure compliance with radiation hardening requirements.
Performing circuit simulations and analyzing the degradation of analog and digital circuits due to radiation exposure.
Conducting embedded hardware and software qualification testing for circuit card assemblies and lower level modules to verify performance and reliability in radiation environments.
