Job Description

Development of all nuclear hardness system level design, including system level analysis and testing in support of the acquisition life cycle. Developing system-level NH&S Design Analysis Reports (DAR) and nuclear hardness system test plans and reports documenting equipment compliance and weapon system certification. Working knowledge of nuclear weapons effects and resulting Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics (TREE) of DoD and commercial systems. Technical planning, specification requirements derivation, test and analysis, design, planning and execution, documentation, and requirements/validation supporting overall system compliance. Experience with electrical circuit rad-hard design including piece-part screening, analysis, modeling, and test of component and systems for radiation environment compliance i.e. prompt dose rate, total ionizing dose, neutron displacement damage, neutron induced upset, single event effects. Experience with electrical circuit and/or system level design and test. Knowledge of Circumvention & Recovery techniques for component, circuit, equipment subsystems compliance and weapon system level probabilistic performance assessments during pre/trans and post nuclear weapon environment exposure. Evaluate uncertainty and risks associated with rad-hard requirements and design mitigation strategies. Experience working with other Federal agencies, industry, National and/or Service Laboratories & Test facilities. Bachelor of science degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline and 8 years of experience OR Master of science degree in a STEM discipline and 6 years of experience, OR a Doctorate in a STEM discipline and 4 years of experience.
