Sr.Electrical Engineer - Radiation - Seattle WA - July 2026

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our client in the Seattle Area to lead radiation test campaigns, perform reliability analysis, and implement robust mitigation strategies.

Responsibilities:

• Own radiation effects and reliability across spacecraft electrical systems-from early architecture through on-orbit operations

• Define radiation and reliability requirements, translating mission environments into component- and system-level specifications

• Plan and execute radiation test campaigns (heavy ion, proton, gamma/TID) for components including FPGAs, ASICs, power electronics, and COTS parts

• Characterize and analyze Single Event Effects (SEE), Total Ionizing Dose (TID), and displacement damage; document results and drive design decisions

• Develop and implement avionics reliability strategies, including redundancy, fault detection/isolation/recovery (FDIR), derating, and robustness in degraded modes

• Model radiation environments for LEO missions and conduct system-level risk assessments and margin analyses

• Partner cross-functionally with avionics, hardware, and software teams to ensure resilient, fault-tolerant system architectures

• Drive radiation assurance and reliability processes across the full lifecycle-from design and qualification through launch and on-orbit operations

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

• 4+ years of experience in radiation effects, avionics reliability, or high-reliability electronics

• Hands-on experience with radiation testing (SEE, TID) and familiarity with test methodologies and data analysis

• Experience with reliability engineering methods (e.g., FMEA/FMECA, FTA, derating, WCCA)

• Strong understanding of electronic components (FPGAs, ASICs, power systems, mixed-signal circuits) and failure mechanisms in harsh environments

• Ability to translate test and analysis results into actionable design and system-level improvements

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Physics, or related field

• Experience designing, qualifying, or supporting spaceflight hardware (LEO, MEO, GEO, or deep space)

• Deep expertise in Single Event Effects (SEU, SEL, SET) and practical mitigation techniques in digital and power systems

• Familiarity with radiation environment and analysis tools (e.g., SPENVIS, OMERE, NOVICE) and standards (e.g., NASA, MIL-STD)

• Experience with rad-hard or rad-tolerant design, component derating, and system-level trade studies under mass/power constraints
