About this role
As a Radiation Effects Engineer, your core responsibility will be to contribute to the component selection, design, testing, and delivery of flight hardware systems for space missions from low Earth orbit to mars.
You’ll work closely with electrical engineers, RF engineers, EMC engineers, mechanical engineers, and test engineers to maximize reliability, perform analysis and testing, and ensure reliable hardware performance across Impulse’s spacecraft. Lead total ionizing dose (TID) and single event effects (SEE) component characterization and qualification efforts through testing and test data analysis Support radiation testing at off-site locations by developing test procedures and optimizing for test time Maintain databases of radiation test data across components and interface with supply chain and design engineers to utilize and procure component Create design standards for electrical engineers to maximize radiation reliability on-orbit Review circuit board designs and BOMs to ensure compliance with design standards Interface with program managers and engineering leadership to ensure radiation-related risks are accurately represented Perform or contribute to ray-tracing shielding analysis of avionics enclosures Occasional domestic travel to support radiation test campaigns
