Job Summary:

As a full-time Remote Sensing & Nuclear Activity Detection Engineer you will support program reviews and conferences on mission-critical efforts to prevent detect and deter nuclear proliferation worldwide. You will conduct technical analysis perform program and conference reviews and advise on detecting nuclear-related activities from standâoff ranges greater than 100 meters from a facility including airborne orbital deepâspace and planetary-based sensing platforms using your technical expertise in nuclear signaturesradiological spectral thermal seismic neutron gamma and other modalitiesand the integration of remote systems capable of identifying characterizing and assessing nuclear-related operations. This is a full-time onsite role supporting Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) located in Washington DC.

Responsibilities:

• Provide tritium expertise to the NA-192.1 Director and their team.
• Advise and recommend solutions regarding tritium operations at the SRS site.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Active Q or Top Secret clearance.
• 20 or more years of direct nuclear detection remote sensing or non-proliferation work experience. DOE SRS tritium operations work experience.
• Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline.

• Deep knowledge of nuclear signatures and relevant sensing modalities (e.g. gamma/neutron detection hyperspectral imaging thermal infrared analysis RF anomaly detection).
• Understanding of satellite or airborne sensing systems or highâaltitude/space-based detection platforms.
• Strong modeling analysis and technical writing skills.
• Willingness to assist the program team with any task assigned ranging from hanging posters at program reviews/conferences to taking meeting minutes in assigned mission critical meetings as well as performing your own work scope on complex-wide program proposals reviews and assessments.

Preferred qualifications:

• Masters or PhD in nuclear engineering physics remote sensing radiological science space systems engineering or related field.

• Experience working with DOE/NNSA DoD NASA or the Intelligence Community.
