Radiation Effects Engineer
What happens to electronics when they leave Earth? At Frontgrade Gaisler, you’ll help answer that question. We are now looking for a Radiation Effects Engineer to join our team in Gothenburg and play a key role in ensuring reliable performance in the harsh space environment.
What you will do
As a Radiation Effects Engineer, you will be responsible for analyzing and testing electronic components for radiation effects as part of our product and project developments.
You will be involved throughout the process - from designing and developing test systems (including PCBs, FPGA designs, and software) and writing test plans, to executing tests, analyzing data, and reporting results.
Your responsibilities will include:
Perform radiation analysis of hardware designs.
Interact with hardware, software, and components teams to develop test systems for testing components for radiation effects.
Debug complex test problems.
Prepare and execute test plans for single event effects and total ionizing dose testing.
Perform data analysis and write test reports.
Make recommendations and contribute to the improvement of designs, data collection, data analysis, and company processes.
Required qualifications:
Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
At least 1 year of experience in hardware testing.
Experience with programming/scripting (e.g. C/C++, Python, Tcl) and/or FPGA design (VHDL).
Understanding of computer architecture and electronics.
Experience working with laboratory equipment.
It is a strong advantage if you have experience in:
Radiation effects on microelectronic components.
Radiation mitigation techniques for ASICs and FPGAs.
Simulation tools such as OMERE and SPENVIS.
Digital and/or analog circuit design.
We believe you are a curious and detail-oriented engineer who enjoys solving complex problems. You take ownership of your work, meet deadlines, and are eager to learn and share knowledge with your colleagues. You communicate fluently in English, both written and spoken.
