Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a talented Space Radiation Effects Subject Matter Expert (SME) to join a diverse, highly-skilled team to create unique solutions for complex problems involving space systems. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Dynetics provides responsive, cost effective intelligence, engineering, scientific and IT solutions. In anticipation of NASA awarding the Human Landing System (HLS) Option A contract in the near future, Dynetics Space System Division is seeking qualified engineers and analysts to support NASA programs; including the history-making Human Landing System that will put the first woman and next man on the Moon. We are seeking project engineers, systems engineers, test engineers, electrical/mechanical engineers, stress/structural engineers and analysts to join a diverse team in support of the development of a Human Lander System that will take us back to the surface of the Moon by 2024. The successful SME will support the Dynetics Space Division in the development of a human lander system and support equipment, primarily responsible for the analysis and testing of subsystem electrical/electronic components for the radiation environments anticipated during transit to the moon and during lunar surface operations. The radiation SME will interface with all technical disciplines in a team environment to support natural radiation environment related tasks, focusing on Single Event Effects at the piece part, unit, and system level. Recommendations for effects mitigation is anticipated to be provided by the SME via technical reports and presentations. Participation, with a possible lead role, on the radiation hardness assurance and parts control boards is expected. The position requires use of electrical computer aided design software, professional trade knowledge in the science of electrical engineering, and other analysis tools to produce electrical designs, analysis, and flight article documentation. This includes collecting data to determine supplier capabilities and in supporting the development of statements of work. Candidate will work in a team environment to support conceptual design through product implementation, and should be able to lead engineering design disposition on all documentation discrepancies. Candidate must possess a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Physics from an ABET-accredited university. Candidates with Masters and PhD Degrees are encouraged to apply, with degree level substitution for direct industry work experience. Candidate must have 10+ years direct experience in role as detailed above with an engineering company or system integrator where design, testing, and/or modification of aerospace systems was involved. Candidate must have demonstrated experience effectively communicating within a team environment.
