Support flight and flight development projects as the focal engineer for Ionizing Radiation (IR) effects on Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical (EEE) parts. This tasking includes, but is not limited to, coordinating the development of project IR environments or developing of the project IR requirements, coordination or development of project IR Control Plans, working with designers to develop systems select EEE parts that are tolerant to the anticipated IR environments with guidance from a Senior level expert. Participation in all design reviews and verification work associated with the project.

　　Candidate will be required to perform the following:

　　Support projects during pre-Phase A and Phase A to help evaluate the radiation risk protocol for the project and recommend early processes in support of this protocol.

　　Support project development of the top-level requirements for the radiation environments. Work with the Chief Engineers Office and Mission Safety to develop flow down requirements that are verifiable.

　　Coordinate with NASA Natural Environments Branch to develop the radiation environments specification based on the projects concept of operation documents.

　　Support the development of technical requirements, environment specifications and a radiation control plan, for flow down to all systems and subcontractors.

　　Support development of EEE parts lists reviews, testing, and analyses.

　　Support project verification by supplying all applicable system radiation analyses and any other required documentation to support the closing of all radiation requirements.

　　Supply support for smaller projects by performing limited testing and analyses to help minimize risk due to the radiation environments.

　　Review and comment on industry standard documents, DLA Land and Maritime documents, NESC documents, etc. that relate to radiation effects.

　　Support any radiation effects research tasks as required.

　　Support the education of NASA personnel, in the effects of radiation on electronic system design.

　　Support internal working groups, from an IR perspective, to ensure risks and requirements are addressed.
