Summary

Lead nuclear hardening engineering efforts for aerospace electronics by developing requirements, roadmaps, design guidance, and verification strategies for mission-critical systems.
Define and mature radiation hardening approaches for avionics, electronic assemblies, LRUs, SRUs, sensors, processors, power systems, and mission hardware.
Support nuclear systems engineering activities by translating threat environments, survivability needs, and platform requirements into practical hardening solutions.
Perform technical reviews of electronic designs, shielding strategies, component selections, layouts, and test approaches to identify radiation hardness risks and design gaps.
Support strategic aerospace programs involving B-52, B-1, B-2, ICBM, and related DoD platforms by providing senior-level hardening expertise and technical leadership.

Develop, review, and maintain nuclear hardening requirements, design criteria, verification plans, and technical roadmaps for aerospace electronic systems.
Evaluate electronic hardware, circuit card assemblies, LRUs, cables, enclosures, and shielding concepts for radiation hardness, survivability, and integration risks.
Lead technical reviews with systems, electrical, mechanical, test, cyber, and program teams to assess hardening approaches and resolve design or verification issues.
Support trade studies, test planning, analysis reviews, and customer briefings related to nuclear effects, shielding, component selection, and mission survivability.
Provide mentoring, technical guidance, and subject matter expertise to engineering teams supporting bomber, missile, strategic deterrence, and classified aerospace programs.

Requires a Bachelors or a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Physics Electronics Nuclear Engineering or related engineering discipline with senior-level radiation hardening experience.
Radiation/EMP Hardening Training and/or certifications preferred.
5-12 years: Proven aerospace experience developing or supporting nuclear hardening requirements, roadmaps, analysis, testing, shielding, and survivability strategies for electronics.
5+ years: Demonstrated experience supporting B-52, B-1, B-2, ICBM, or other strategic DoD platforms involving nuclear effects, hardening, survivability, or mission assurance.
5+ years: Strong ability to lead technical teams, create requirements, conduct design reviews, interpret test and analysis data, and communicate complex hardening issues clearly.
5+ years: Ability to present to upper management direction on nuclear efforts.
A valid/clear driver's license is required.
