SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

RADIATION EFFECTS TEST ENGINEER - ORLANDO

As a member of our fast-paced Radiation Effects team, you will be responsible for ensuring avionics hardware performance across our fleet of vehicles (Dragon, Falcon, Starship, Lunar Human Landing System, etc.) through some of the harshest and varied radiation environments imaginable. To ensure maximum reliability in an ionizing radiation environment, the Radiation team at SpaceX performs exhaustive analysis, design, and test at the component, board, unit and subsystem levels with extensive opportunity to interact with a vast array of rocket and spacecraft hardware and electronics.

As one of the few teams required to interface with the design, manufacturing, integration, and mission operations teams, we play a critical role in the development of our systems. We will advance our efforts towards broadband satellite internet and safe, reliable, inexpensive, and innovative access to space with the fundamental goal of expanding human space exploration capabilities and establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon and Mars.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Support a cross-discipline team of design and system engineers, while providing radiation test, automation, and reporting

Develop, implement, and troubleshoot complex test systems

Prepare and fully execute test plans and analysis for single event effect, total ionizing dose, and displacement damage dose

Perform testing to characterize parts and assemblies for their total ionizing dose and single event effect (protons and heavier ions) sensitivities

Perform root-cause analysis of test failures, and communicate recommended actions

Implement process controls through the form of procedural documentation and test system automation.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or physics

2+ years of experience in the radiation effects field

Experience programming in Python

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Previous work experience in radiation effects including modeling, testing, and/or analysis

Strong programming skill (Python, C++, or SQL)

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Experience in design and/or analysis of digital and analog circuits

Ability to identify failures in radiation testing and knowledge on how to mitigate common failure mechanisms induced by ionizing radiation

Experience with systems requiring resistance to ionizing dose including total ionizing dose testing, analysis to predict dose on orbit and familiarity with common problems and vulnerabilities to total ionizing dose

Experience developing tests for microprocessors, ASICs, or FPGAs

Experience with testing RF or optical interface devices

Familiarity and comfort with avionics hardware spanning integrated circuits, PCBA boards, sensors/transducers, functional troubleshooting and defect detection

Familiarity and comfort with hardware blueprints/schematics and circuit functions based on designs

Superior organizational and analytical skills with keen attention to detail and quality

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs. unassisted

Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones

This role will be based onsite in Orlando, FL
