Applied Research Associates is looking for an experienced and driven scientist interested in understanding electromagnetic (EM) environments, predicting the effects of EM fields and ionizing radiation on electronics, and hardening systems to EM fields and ionizing radiation. The right candidate will be a dedicated and agile problem-solver anxious to join a team studying the effects of electromagnetic threats, such as those from nuclear detonations.
Candidates must be flexible scientists, as the team works on multiple projects at a time. These projects range from model development, software design, and coding to on-site hardening analysis and survivability testing.
In addition to providing technical expertise across the spectrum of EM problems, the candidate may be asked to lead tasks with a small, diverse team of scientists and engineers. Over time, this leadership may expand from day-to-day mentoring and development of junior staff to working with more senior staff members on proposals and portfolio development.
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s Degree or higher along with 7-9 years' experience. Equivalent professional experience (13+ years) will be considered for talented candidates without a degree. Due to the nature of work candidates must be U.S. citizens eligible for a Department of Defense Secret, or higher, level security clearance.
Your experience should include time spent as a productive team member on one or more of the following: nuclear EMP, electromagnetics, hardening/survivability, or HPM. In this role, you will be a developing subject matter expert who is looking forward to working on some of the government’s hardest problems.
