Health Physicist

What You Will Be Doing:

We are looking for a Health Physicist to work with radiation, radioactive materials, radiation survey equipment, and team members unfamiliar with these subjects as we build Polaris and future fusion generators. You will be part of our Radiation Safety and Nuclear Science (RaSNS) team. The RaSNS team includes radiation safety, nuclear engineering, and materials engineering contingents. As part of the radiation safety contingent of RaSNS, you will interact with all teams at Helion and work directly with many partner teams. Popular partner teams include (but are not limited to) our Test Operations, Research, Engineering, and Production teams. You will report to our Health Physics Lead at our Everett, WA office.

You Will:

• Complete Radiation Safety team to create, establish, and execute a radiation safety program that is both comprehensive and efficient
• Uphold and apply the principles of ALARA
• Work with radiation and radioactive material including photons, neutrons, tritium, and activated material
• Work with survey equipment including liquid scintillation counters, NaI detectors, HPGe detectors, Geiger counters, and ion chambers
• Work with a team to perform typical health physicist functions such as dosimetry, leak tests, wipe tests, general surveying, and preparing operating procedures
• Communicate with team members who are unfamiliar with radiation and health effects

Required Skills:

• Bachelor's or equivalent expertise in related disciplines (e.g., nuclear engineering, physics)
• 2+ years of hands-on work with radioactive material
• Fundamental understanding of types of radiation and their relative health effects
• Education in applying understand of radiation for the purpose of radiation protection
