Radiation Engineer II

YOUR MISSION

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.

• →Develop TID, SEE, and DDD models for any orbital regime using industry-standard tools and best practices
• →Budget, schedule, plan, and execute radiation test campaigns at external facilities (protons, heavy ions, gamma, neutron) or through third-party partners
• →Provide unit and mission-level radiation analyses including SEE rates, availability estimates, lifetime TID and DDD exposures, and associated artifacts for requirements verification
• →Support reliable part selection, circuit design, and passive and active radiation mitigation strategies to increase probability of mission success
• →Maintain and grow the parts library database with critical radiation and reliability information
• →Assist in developing radiation and reliability engineering processes and provide cross-discipline training to instill a culture of survivability awareness
• →Support proposal writing, requirements development, schedule baselines, customer briefings, and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with credible radiation and reliability analyses
• →Communicate product development status and issues with leadership and stakeholders

• Bachelor's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or related field
• 2-4 years of professional experience in space radiation engineering or a related discipline
• Proficiency with radiation environment modeling tools such as AE9/AP9/SPM, CREME96, OMERE, or SPENVIS
• Familiarity with radiation test standards including MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-883, ECSS-Q-ST-60-15C, and NASA testing guidelines
• Experience planning and executing SEE, TID, and DDD test campaigns
• Proficiency with data analysis and modeling software (Python, MATLAB, or equivalent)
• Strong lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, source meters, power supplies, and automated data collection
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Reliability Engineering, or related field
• Familiarity with Radiation Hardness by Design (RHbD) principles
• Familiarity with radiation transport and shielding analysis tools (NOVICE, FASTRAD, GEANT4)
• Familiarity with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice or PSpice
• Familiarity with space charging effects on materials and electronics
• Customer-facing experience presenting radiation and reliability assessments at design reviews
• Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting

• Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Long Beach locations. While we observe a hybrid work environment, most work must be done on site.
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
