Vacancy in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Radiation Effects Engineer, TECQEC 00002245 This positionis classified A2A4 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. This position forms part of ESAs Advance Recruitment Scheme which is established to provide appropriate staffing resources when requirements materialise. Appointments are therefore made for an initial duration of two years upon which the selected candidate may be appointed to a permanent post in the Agency. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Description Radiation Effects Engineer in the Radiation Hardness Assurance and Component Analysis Section, Components and Materials Physics and Chemistry Evaluation and Standardisation Division, Product Assurance and Safety Department, Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. The Radiation Hardness Assurance and Component Analysis Section provides functional support to ESA projects and carries out technological research RD in areas including EEE component radiation hardness assurance, radiation evaluation, radiation qualification, radiation hardening, radiation mitigation techniques, dosimetry, radiation test facilities, inflight RHA and component radiation characterisation experiments. Duties Reporting to the Head of Section and within the technical fields described above, the main tasks and responsibilities of the post holder will include providing expert technical support and consultancy to ESA projects, programmes and general studies in the area of EEE component RHA throughout all project phases participating in project reviews and evaluations of procurement proposals, identifying critical development problems and assisting with their resolution contributing to the definition of technology development requirements and work plans for ESA technology programmes defining, initiating and managing RD activities covering long and shortterm needs fostering new application areas for multidisciplinary activities, placing emphasis on innovative concepts, cuttingedge technologies and system architectures preparing and conducting radiation tests including test setup development hardware and software and subsequent data analysis with emphasis on total ionising dose, displacement damage and single event effects of EEE components, test structures and materials in support of Agency projects, studies, evaluation, qualification or RH activities supporting the Sections standardisation activities, particularly those involving general RHA procedures, irradiation test guidelines SEE, TID and displacement damage, modelling and simulation issues conducting simulations of radiation effects in components and materials using suitable device physicsbased SW tools to produce new or improve existing models monitoring applicable scientific and technological trends and maintaining stateoftheart expertise contributing to the dissemination of the results of the activities performed and the transfer of knowledge across the Agency. Technical competencies Understanding of radiation hardness assurance processes Radiation test experience SEE, TID, DD Radiation test planning and preparation HWSW Overall semiconductor technology knowledge Radiation effects knowledge Familiarity with radiation hardness assurance standards Understanding of ESA space project review processes Behavioural competencies Communication Teamwork Planning organisation Problem solving Continuous learning Innovation creativity Education Applicants for this post should have a Masters degree or equivalent qualification in electricalelectronic engineering or solid state physics. Additional requirements Experience of radiation effects on semiconductor components and aspects of irradiation testing will be considered an asset. Knowledge of EEE component RHA processes for space applications is required, as is familiarity with SEE rate prediction tools and their use in the space environment. Knowledge familiarity with the ECSS and ESCC standards is considered advantageous. Applicants should be familiar with one or more of the following shielding analysis tools sectoring and 3D MonteCarlobased device physics simulation tools modern programming techniques modelling and simulation of radiation effects on EEE components for radiation hardening software engineering practices. Basic familiarity with component engineering and product assurance principles and modellingsimulation of radiation effects on EEE components for RH will be an asset. Other Information For behavioural competencies expected from ESA staff in general, please refer to the ESA Competency Framework. The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset. The Agency may require applicants to undergo selection tests.
