As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space delivering innovative solutions that span satellite launch ground and cyber systems for defense civil and commercial customers. When you join our team youll be part of a special collection of problem solvers thought leaders and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.
Job Summary
Physical Sciences Laboratories (PSL) supports the effective andtimelydevelopment and operation of national security systems through scientific research and the application of advanced technologies. PSL has more than 150 specialized laboratories used to test analyze and troubleshootvirtually everyaspect of rocket and satellite system design development construction deployment and operation. The diverseexpertiseof the laboratories technical staff allows PSL to stay abreast of new technological developments and program support issues associated with rapidly evolving space systems.
The Microelectronics Technology Department (MTD) is part of PSL with specialized laboratoriesfortesting accelerating and analyzing failures in electronics used for space system. MTD iscomprisedof two sections: one that performs radiation effects testing and discrete microelectronics testing while the other section performs failure analysis on microelectronics using tools that canidentifyanomalies from the macroscopic down to the atomic scale.
MTD is looking aRadiation EffectsResearchScientist(Research Scientist/ Senior Scientist - Microelectronics/Semiconductor Engineering)to support the investigation of radiation effects reliability- andradiation-hardness-by-designand physics of failure of advanced CMOS SiGe SOI III-V(GaN GaAs) II-VIand other advanced technology for space applications.
