Come build your career with BAE Systems. BAE Systems is seeking a Radiation Hardness Assurance Program Engineering Manager (PEM) to lead all radiation assurance activities within the Space Systems product line. Known as an industry leader in digital space electronics, the Space Systems product line can be found on almost all commercial, civil, and national security space missions. Space Systems specializes in advanced, high-reliability, and radiation tolerant and hardened digital capability in multiple generations of semiconductor components. This includes ASICs, memory, processors, and power devices, in addition to larger electronic assemblies and boards. As part of the BAE Systems team, you’ll be working on challenging problems, leading creative engineers, and working to deliver advanced products by serving as engineering lead for all radiation assurance activities within the product line. You’ll enjoy flexibility of your work schedule, and work in a diverse and inclusive environment. The programs you work on may encompass all aspects of product delivery, from design and analysis, through integration, test, and delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and grow, all as part of an exciting and engaging career. You’ll be an integral part of the team allowing BAE Systems and Space Systems to create capability that supports the overall mission: “We protect those who protect us.” The ideal candidate should have a good understanding of radiation testing for space applications, radiation effects, space environments, PCB board design, package design, high frequency digital technologies, mixed signal IC technologies, and electrical testing of RF and digital circuits. Approximately half of your time will be engineering management of the radiation activities, the remaining will include supporting radiation planning, execution, and testing.
