New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States MITRE Full time

Why choose between impactful work and a rewarding life? At MITRE, you can achieve both. Our team is dedicated to addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing our nation, while we prioritize the long-term welfare of our employees. Unlike many technology firms, MITRE operates as a not-for-profit organization focused on serving the public interest, free from commercial conflicts. Our research and development centers work on a wide range of critical areas, including cybersecurity, healthcare, aviation, defense, and enterprise transformation. Every day, we strive to create a safer, healthier, and more secure world.

Department Overview:

The Nuclear Weapons and C2 Systems Department at MITRE is in search of a talented engineer to contribute significantly to our understanding of how natural radiation and nuclear incidents affect relevant systems. Our department leads a vibrant work program aimed at enhancing the United States' nuclear deterrent capabilities. We provide data-driven modernization recommendations, prototypes, and analyses that facilitate the efficient deployment of warfighter capabilities and enable cost-effective upgrades to Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) and Nuclear Weapon Systems. This role presents a unique opportunity to support design and mitigation strategies for developing a resilient weapon system, addressing various nuclear threat environments such as Electromagnetic Pulse, Ionizing Radiation, Thermal Radiation, Air-Blast, and Radiological exposure.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate nuclear effects on aircraft, spacecraft, and communication systems to aid in the development of nuclear hardness system-level designs, including comprehensive analysis and testing.
  • Develop weapon system design criteria backed by design analysis, modeling & simulation, and system-level trade studies.
  • Conduct analysis and validation of components, equipment, subsystems, or weapon system analytical models to ensure compliance with operationally relevant nuclear threat environments.
  • Contribute to and review Nuclear Hardness & Survivability Design Analysis Reports (DAR) and system test plans documenting equipment compliance and weapon system certification.
  • Perform essential design evaluations and provide technical assessments on system survivability by analyzing system responses to nuclear events using proprietary and third-party software/physics codes.

Domain-Specific Responsibilities/Technical Skills:

  • Proficient understanding of nuclear weapon effects and 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 supporting overall system compliance.
  • Knowledge of electrical circuit radiation-hardened design and testing, including piece-part screening and analysis for radiation environment compliance.
  • Familiarity with Circumvention & Recovery techniques for compliance assessments and probabilistic performance evaluations of weapon systems during nuclear exposure.
  • Assess uncertainty and risks associated with radiation-hardened requirements and develop design 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 relevant experience.
  • Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of particle physics, solar physics, or nuclear physics.
  • Solid mathematical and statistical foundation.
  • Proven written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to travel up to 20% as necessary.
  • Capability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance.
  • This position requires a minimum of 4 days a week on-site.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • PhD in Physics, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Active DoD Secret or Top Secret Clearance.
  • Experience in the survivability design of Nuclear Command, Control & Communication weapon systems.
  • Experience analyzing radiation environments, including both man-made and natural space conditions.
  • Leadership experience in technical projects related to nuclear physics.
  • Familiarity with transport issues in atmospheric or structural contexts.
  • Knowledge of relevant standards and handbooks, as well as engineering software/tools such as COMSOL, ANSYS, MATLAB, and others.

Work Location Type:
