This position offers a unique opportunity to work on

cutting‑edge defense and space technologies . Direct radiation testing experience is

not required

— full training will be provided. What’s essential is a solid understanding of electronics, a hands‑on approach to testing and design, and a passion for problem‑solving.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and implement

electrical test setups

for radiation effects testing.

Evaluate and analyze

electrical test results

for accuracy, validity, and statistical relevance.

Design circuits and perform testing based on

data sheets and specifications .

Document findings and generate

technical reports and test plans .

Support projects involving

radiation tolerance and system survivability

for electronic systems used in defense, nuclear, and space applications.

Collaborate with senior engineers to refine test methodologies and enhance testing efficiency.

Required Qualifications
