<p>Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.</p>

<p><u>OUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.</p>

<p><u>OUR VALUES</u></p>

<ul>

<li><strong>Be the offset.</strong>&nbsp;We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.</li>

<li><strong>What would it take?</strong>&nbsp;We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.</li>

<li><strong>It’s the people.</strong>&nbsp;Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.</li>

</ul><p><u>YOUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>True Anomaly is seeking a skilled Radiation Engineer II to support the radiation analysis, component testing, and mitigation strategy development for our spacecraft electrical systems. You will be a key technical contributor to radiation hardness assurance across our programs — developing environment models, executing test campaigns, and maintaining the parts library that underpins our mission reliability. You bring hands-on experience with radiation test facilities, strong analytical skills, and the ability to communicate radiation and reliability risks clearly to engineers and program stakeholders alike.</p>

<p><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Develop TID, SEE, and DDD models for any orbital regime using industry-standard tools and best practices</li>

<li>Budget, schedule, plan, and execute radiation test campaigns at external facilities (protons, heavy ions, gamma, neutron) or through third-party partners</li>

<li>Provide unit and mission-level radiation analyses including SEE rates, availability estimates, lifetime TID and DDD exposures, and associated artifacts for requirements verification</li>

<li>Support reliable part selection, circuit design, and passive and active radiation mitigation strategies to increase probability of mission success</li>

<li>Maintain and grow the parts library database with critical radiation and reliability information</li>

<li>Assist in developing radiation and reliability engineering processes and provide cross-discipline training to instill a culture of survivability awareness</li>

<li>Support proposal writing, requirements development, schedule baselines, customer briefings, and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with credible radiation and reliability analyses</li>

<li>Communicate product development status and issues with leadership and stakeholders</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>QUALIFICATIONS</strong></p>
