Vacancy expired!

The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation's space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you'll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.

At Aerospace, we are committed to providing an inclusive and diverse workplace for all employees to share in our common passion and aspiration - to carry out a mission much bigger than ourselves.

The Electronics and Sensors Division (ESD) is a world-class engineering and scientific leader in electronics and remote sensing systems. The Electrical Systems Assurance Department (ESAD) resides within ESD. Our staff includes technical leaders and subject matter experts in the areas of radiation survivability of electronic components/ hardware units in a natural and man-made space environment. Our expertise, combined with modeling and analysis capabilities, enables ESD to deliver trusted assessments and recommendations to national space systems and civil customers.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Perform Nuclear Hardness and Survivability (NH&S) analysis for satellite electronics units, subsystems, payloads, and ballistic missile systems.
  • Review test plans and test reports for radiation testing of electronic components against requirements on total dose, displacement damage, prompts and prompt dose latchup/ upset, and single event effects
  • Prepare survivability analysis for space environments such as Micrometeoroids, Atomic Oxygen, and single event effects
  • Review plans and procedures for component and box-level Flash X-ray testing
  • Perform radiation environment simulations/ estimations using DTRA ASSIST (QPROMPT, DGBETS, GSCENARIO), testable hardware toolkit (THTk), FASTRAD, MCNP, SPENVIS, CREME96, and other radiation analysis tools
  • Review radiation requirements and compliance at PDRs, CDRs, and other program reviews as required
