<p>True Anomaly is seeking a skilled Radiation Engineer II to support the radiation analysis, component testing, and mitigation strategy development for our spacecraft electrical systems. You will be a key technical contributor to radiation hardness assurance across our programs — developing environment models, executing test campaigns, and maintaining the parts library that underpins our mission reliability. You bring hands-on experience with radiation test facilities, strong analytical skills, and the ability to communicate radiation and reliability risks clearly to engineers and program stakeholders alike.</p>
<p><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop TID, SEE, and DDD models for any orbital regime using industry-standard tools and best practices</li>
<li>Budget, schedule, plan, and execute radiation test campaigns at external facilities (protons, heavy ions, gamma, neutron) or through third-party partners</li>
<li>Provide unit and mission-level radiation analyses including SEE rates, availability estimates, lifetime TID and DDD exposures, and associated artifacts for requirements verification</li>
<li>Support reliable part selection, circuit design, and passive and active radiation mitigation strategies to increase probability of mission success</li>
<li>Maintain and grow the parts library database with critical radiation and reliability information</li>
<li>Assist in developing radiation and reliability engineering processes and provide cross-discipline training to instill a culture of survivability awareness</li>
<li>Support proposal writing, requirements development, schedule baselines, customer briefings, and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with credible radiation and reliability analyses</li>
<li>Communicate product development status and issues with leadership and stakeholders</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>QUALIFICATIONS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Bachelor's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or related field</li>
<li>2-4 years of professional experience in space radiation engineering or a related discipline</li>
<li>Proficiency with radiation environment modeling tools such as AE9/AP9/SPM, CREME96, OMERE, or SPENVIS</li>
<li>Familiarity with radiation test standards including MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-883, ECSS-Q-ST-60-15C, and NASA testing guidelines</li>
<li>Experience planning and executing SEE, TID, and DDD test campaigns</li>
<li>Proficiency with data analysis and modeling software (Python, MATLAB, or equivalent)</li>
<li>Strong lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, source meters, power supplies, and automated data collection</li>
<li>Excellent written and verbal communication skills</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Reliability Engineering, or related field</li>
<li>Familiarity with Radiation Hardness by Design (RHbD) principles</li>
<li>Familiarity with radiation transport and shielding analysis tools (NOVICE, FASTRAD, GEANT4)</li>
<li>Familiarity with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice or PSpice</li>
<li>Familiarity with space charging effects on materials and electronics</li>
<li>Customer-facing experience presenting radiation and reliability assessments at design reviews</li>
