Drawing strength from our differences, we’re innovating for the future. And you can, too. Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first –exemplified by our missions: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®" and "We Innovate For Those Who Move The WorldTM." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems. BAE Systems is seeking a Radiation Hardness Assurance Program Engineering Manager (PEM) to lead all radiation assurance activities within the Space Systems product line. Known as an industry leader in digital space electronics, the Space Systems product line can be found on almost all commercial, civil, and national security space missions. Space Systems specializes in advanced, high-reliability, and radiation tolerant and hardened digital capability in multiple generations of semiconductor components. This includes ASICs, memory, processors, and power devices, in addition to larger electronic assemblies and boards. As part of the BAE Systems team, you’ll be working on challenging problems, leading creative engineers, and working to deliver advanced products by serving as engineering lead for all radiation assurance activities within the product line. You’ll enjoy flexibility of your work schedule, and work in a diverse and inclusive environment. The programs you work on may encompass all aspects of product delivery, from design and analysis, through integration, test, and delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and grow, all as part of an exciting and engaging career. You’ll be an integral part of the team allowing BAE Systems and Space Systems to create capability that supports the overall mission: “We protect those who protect us.” The ideal candidate should have a good understanding of radiation testing for space applications, radiation effects, space environments, PCB board design, package design, high frequency digital technologies, mixed signal IC technologies, and electrical testing of RF and digital circuits. Approximately half of your time will be engineering management of the radiation activities, the remaining will include supporting radiation planning, execution, and testing. As a Radiation Hardness Assurance PEM, the selected candidate will be responsible for: Technical leadership and ownership of radiation hardness assurance project activities or multiple projects working with the program manager and customer, and leading the radiation hardness assurance engineering team Leading a team of approximately 4 radiation engineers, prioritizing and monitoring their tasks Proposal lead for product line radiation hardness assurance, responsible for identifying labor and capital resources requirements Develop and implement radiation assurance plans and procedures for electronic packages and integrated circuits Conduct radiation assurance testing, including total ionizing dose, heavy ion single event effects, proton single event effects, and neutron displacement damage Calculate error rates and determine the likelihood of radiation-induced failures Write and review test code in various programming environments (python, MATLAB, etc.) Responsible for developing radiation assurance requirements and related technical execution plans for multiple product line programs by collaborating with cross-functional teams throughout the product development lifecycle Perform as Cost Account Manager (CAM) monitoring radiation engineering tasks to ensure work scope, schedule, and budget are well defined, maintained, and met associated with radiation hardness assurance in support of product line projects Coordinating program engineering work with other stakeholder groups, including operations, quality, contracts, and finance personnel The role will be ensuring the radiation hardness and reliability of electronic systems and components used in space and defense applications. The engineer will develop and implement radiation test strategies, perform testing, analyze test results, and provide technical guidance to cross-functional teams.
