What You'll Be Doing Provide technical support to national security space programs, internal, and academic collaborators Conduct innovative basic and applied research on microelectronic device technologies and applications to space systems, including reliability and radiation hardnessPresent results of assessments/research internally, to customers, at scientific meetings, and publish research in refereed scientific journalsSupport the adoption and assessment of new technologies and applications, space systems, including reliability and radiation hardnessPerform radiation testing on microelectronic and optoelectronic components using gamma-rays, x-rays, neutrons, energetic protons, and energetic heavy ionsInnovation, velocity, and accountability will primarily be used to assess job performance What You Need to be Successful Minimum Requirements for Research Scientist - Microelectronics/Semiconductor Engineering: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline is requiredA minimum of (6) or more years of increasingly responsible and relevant professional work experience is requiredKnowledge of microelectronic and/or optoelectronic device physics Experience in testing semiconductor devices Knowledge of radiation environments and the effects of TID and SEE in microelectronicsExperience with Python / LabVIEW/ MATLAB or similar software for data analysis and collectionWilling to travel domestically up to 10% of the year to customer site/radiation test facility/conferences (as needed)This position requires ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government. How You Can Stand Out It would be impressive if you have one or more of these: PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline is strongly desired (15) years of experience radiation effects testing and analysis is preferredPrevious publication records and demonstrated ability to develop and execute innovative research projects especially those related to microelectronics Experience with radiation hardness-by-design and reliability-by-design test chip development Demonstrated success with modeling / simulation of radiation effects or radiation transport using TCAD tools, MCNP, SRIM, GEANT4, or CRÈME96 Experience reviewing test plans, test reports, or other technical deliverables for U.S. government programs Strong proficiency in writing and submitting proposals for internal or external project funding (grants, IRADs, etc.) We offer a competitive compensation package where you'll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to our business.
