Worked on radiation tests for the B2 Bomber. Supported tests on various electronic components (voltage regulators, diodes, transistors, etc) in three different radiation environments. Prepared devices for radiation tests through bench level verification. Conducted tests at radiation facilities through the operation of LabView GUIs or running test automation scripts in python. Analyzed data with Microsoft excel and visual basic scripts to determine the survivability of the devices under test… Show more Worked on radiation tests for the B2 Bomber.
