New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States MITRE Full time

Why choose between meaningful work and a fulfilling life? At MITRE, you can achieve both. Our team is dedicated to addressing the most pressing challenges facing our nation, while we prioritize the long-term well-being of our employees. MITRE stands apart from typical technology firms; we are a not-for-profit organization focused on serving the public interest, free from commercial conflicts that could sway our mission.

Department Overview:

The Nuclear Weapons and C2 Systems Department at MITRE is in search of a talented engineer to play a pivotal role in analyzing the impacts of natural radiation and nuclear incidents on critical systems. Our department spearheads a vibrant work program aimed at enhancing the United States' nuclear deterrent capabilities. We provide data-driven modernization recommendations, prototypes, and analyses that expedite the deployment of capabilities for warfighters while ensuring cost-effective upgrades to Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) and Nuclear Weapon Systems. This role offers a unique chance to assist in the design and mitigation strategies necessary for developing a resilient weapon system that meets operational requirements in various nuclear threat environments, including Electromagnetic Pulse, Ionizing Radiation, Thermal Radiation, Air-Blast, and Radiological exposure.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct thorough analyses of nuclear effects on aircraft, spacecraft, and communication systems to support the development of nuclear hardness at the system level, including comprehensive analysis and testing.
  • Develop weapon system design criteria through design analysis, modeling & simulation, and system-level trade studies, ensuring robust system integration and testing.
  • Perform evaluations and validations of components, equipment, subsystems, or weapon system analytical models to ensure compliance with operationally relevant nuclear threat environments.
  • Contribute to and assess NH&S Design Analysis Reports (DAR) and nuclear hardness system test plans and reports, documenting compliance and certification of weapon systems.
  • Execute essential design evaluations and provide technical assessments regarding system survivability by analyzing system responses to nuclear events using proprietary and third-party software/physics codes.

Domain-Specific Skills:

  • Proficient understanding of nuclear weapon effects and the resulting Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics (TREE) for both DoD and commercial systems.
  • Experience in technical planning, specification requirements derivation, testing, analysis, design, and documentation to support overall system compliance.
  • Background in electrical circuit radiation-hardened design and testing, including component screening and analysis for radiation environment compliance.
  • Knowledge of Circumvention & Recovery techniques for compliance assessments and probabilistic performance evaluations during nuclear weapon exposure.
  • Ability to evaluate uncertainties and risks associated with radiation-hardening requirements and develop effective mitigation strategies.

Basic Qualifications:

  • A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's degree in Physics, Engineering, or a related field; or 3 years with a Master's degree; or a PhD with applicable experience.
  • Strong theoretical and practical expertise in particle physics, solar physics, or nuclear physics.
  • Solid mathematical and statistical foundation.
  • Proven written and verbal communication skills.
  • Willingness to travel up to 20% as necessary.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.
  • This position requires a minimum of 4 days a week on-site presence.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • PhD in Physics, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Active DoD Secret or Top Secret Clearance.
  • Experience in Nuclear Command, Control & Communication weapon system survivability design.
  • Familiarity with radiation environments, including both man-made and natural space conditions.
  • Experience leading technical projects in nuclear physics.
  • Knowledge of transport phenomena in atmospheric or structural contexts.
  • Familiarity with relevant standards and engineering software/tools.

Work Location Type:

Onsite
