    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
