Electrical Engineer, AST, Electrical Systems (Direct Hire)

About the role

You will provide ionizing-radiation analysis for avionics and support flight and development projects as the focal engineer for IR (Ionizing Radiation) effects on EEE (Electrical, Electronic, Electromechanical) parts. You will design, implement, and analyze radiation tests, develop IR environments and requirements, prepare IR control plans, and work with designers to select tolerant parts. You will participate in all design reviews and verification activities. In addition to the Basic Education Requirement (in the Education section below), to qualify for this position you must meet the requirements below. Specialized experience is experience that has equipped you with the particular ability, skill, and knowledge to successfully perform the duties of this position and is typically in or related to this line of work. NASA utilizes OPM-approved qualification and rating requirements specific for Aerospace Technology (AST) positions which recognizes NASA's unique aerospace work. The specific qualifications and minimum education requirements are further described below and within the education section of the job announcement. To qualify for GS-11, you must have: a) You must have one year of directly related specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 level: Assisting in the analysis of ionizing radiation effects and/or supporting the assessment of long-term reliability impacts on complex semi-conductor materials and microelectronic device structures (e.g., MOS, bipolar, SOI); Supporting the design or interpretation of radiation-effects tests to isolate failure mechanisms; AND Testing radiation requirements and failure mechanisms against industry and military standards (e.g., JEDEC, MIL-SPEC) to support the radiation assurance for military, automotive, and industrial-grade electronic components. OR b) Completed all requirements for a doctoral degree (i.e., Ph.D. or equivalent) in an appropriate field OR c) Completed 3 full academic years of graduate education in an appropriate field OR d) Have an equivalent combination of experience and graduate study as discussed in a), b) and c) above To qualify for GS-12, you must have one year of directly related specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 level: Analyzing the physics of ionizing radiation effects and/or assessing long-term reliability impacts on complex semi-conductor materials and microelectronic device structures (e.g., MOS, bipolar, SOI); Reviewing and interpreting radiation-effects tests to isolate failure mechanisms; AND Testing radiation requirements and failure mechanisms against industry and military standards (e.g., JEDEC, MIL-SPEC) to support the radiation assurance for military, automotive, and industrial-grade electronic components. To qualify for GS-13, you must have one year of directly related specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level: Analyzing the physics of ionizing radiation effects and/or assessing long-term reliability impacts on complex semi-conductor materials and microelectronic device structures (e.g., MOS, bipolar, SOI); Designing, executing, and/or interpreting radiation-effects tests to isolate failure mechanisms; AND Evaluating radiation requirements and failure mechanisms against industry and military standards (e.g., JEDEC, MIL-SPEC) and/or providing technical expertise in radiation assurance for military, automotive, and industrial-grade electronic components. Your resume must include a clear and detailed narrative description, in your own words, of how you meet the required specialized experience. Experience statements copied from a position description, vacancy announcement or other reference material constitutes plagiarism and may result in disqualification and losing consideration for the job. NASA prohibits the use of artificial intelligence (AI) or AI-assisted tool in drafting application and assessment responses.
