Hardware Design Engineer - Radiation Testing

Radiation Testing of Electronics: Work alongside radiation experts, senior electronic engineers, software developers and other team members to get familiar with the full detail of our cutting edge electronic designs for satellites. Use your knowledge to:

• Prepare for radiation test campaigns. Develop test strategies, methodology, setups and scripts to test components and subsystems under realistic operational conditions while they are exposed to radiation.
• Use test results to strongly influence improvement of our current designs to increase their resilience in radiation effects and meet our customer’s expectations. Use your knowledge and imagination to achieve such improvements in a cost effective way that aligns with Mynaric’s business plan.

Test Board Design: Design radiation test boards across a wide range of cutting edge electronics for radiation testing. Additionally, design support electronics that will assist in providing stimulus and in collecting measurements.

Automation Software:

• Python or LabView to automate bench instruments via SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) to control hardware and gather data.
• C programming for control of microcontroller development boards for test inputs and data collection.

Data Collection & Analysis: Further develop current methodologies for clear test data collection aiding easy analysis of the results.

Standards Compliance: Ensure all work follows IPC (Institute for Printed Circuits) standards and ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization) guidelines.

Logistics: In collaboration with our current team manage the test campaign logistics, including final verification of setups, booking radiation facilities, travel and shipping of equipment.

Learning & Growth: Take part in training and development to build your skills and knowledge in radiation hardness and assurance.

Travel: Prepared to travel several times a year to facilities throughout Europe and the US.What you bring with you

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or similar.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in electronic hardware design. Brilliant candidates with less or no experience will be considered.
• Strong curiosity and willingness to expand in new fields of knowledge.
• Proficiency with schematic capture, PCB layout, circuit simulation. Experience in ECAD tools (preferable Altium Designer).
• Familiarity with bench instruments (oscilloscopes, various analyzers and power supplies) is a must.
• Knowledge of SCPI scripting language used in automation of tests: Python, LabView or equivalent.
• Basic statistics knowledge and ability to analyze captured data and derive conclusions.
• Driving personality that enjoys taking responsibility, exceeding expectations, working outside of one’s own comfort zone and brings a “can do” attitude.
• Ability to interface across disciplines to resolve technical, schedule and organizational matters.
• Pragmatic approach in tackling issues, ability to effectively create your own momentum and make things happen.
• Willingness to travel within Europe at least once a month, and in the US two or three times a year.
• Optional: Basic knowledge of C++ and FPGA programming workflow.
• Language Skills: Fluency in English, both written and spoken. German is a bonus,but not required.
