What You Will Do

This position is open for external candidates only to apply.

You will be working as part of a design team assessing, maintaining, and upgrading facility systems at LANL. Specific tasks will include developing contract documents consisting of drawings, specifications, calculations and special inspections in order to maintain the technical baseline for new and existing facility systems throughout the facility lifecycle. This will require interfacing and coordinating with all stakeholders including other engineering disciplines, equipment manufacturers and customers during design and construction. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working close to the field, collaborating with operations and maintenance teams, and applying sound engineering judgment to real-world infrastructure challenges-all in support of a national mission.

This position will be filled at either the Engineer 2/3 level, depending on the skills and experience of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the
candidate is hired at the higher level.

• Perform power system studies (short-circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash)
• Develop electrical design packages under guidance from senior engineers
• Apply LANL's Conduct of Engineering (COE) principles in daily work

Engineer 3 ($117,200 - $195,400)

• Serve as an Electrical Safety Officer (ESO) for assigned systems or facilities
• Lead complex technical problem solving and system improvements
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to process and program enhancements
• Provide technical leadership for electrical safety, design, and system performance

What You Need

Minimum Job Requirements:

• Working experience in power system engineering, including fault current analysis, voltage drop calculations, protection coordination studies, incident energy studies, and equipment sizing
• Experience in leading projects, interfacing with customers, resolving questions and issues with project team and customers, and delivering construction documents on time
• Demonstrated ability to communicate well, both written and verbally

Additional requirements at Nuclear Facility Engineer 3:

• Expert knowledge of engineering systems and calculations, applications of engineering methods, and application of technology aided engineering tools to conventional and non-conventional facility and operations-based engineering problems
• Advanced knowledge of industry, regulatory, or Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) complex codes, standards, and criteria pertinent to the particular engineering discipline

Education/Experience at Engineer 2: Position requires a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering and a minimum of 3 years practical work experience to the degree necessary to perform the responsibilities outlined above. Current registration as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) is highly desirable.

Education/Experience at Engineer 3: Position requires a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering and a minimum of 6 years practical work experience to the degree necessary to perform the responsibilities outlined above. Advanced engineering or technical degree is highly desired. Current registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) is highly desirable.

Desired Qualifications:

• PE certification in Power Engineering
• Experienced in producing designs utilizing AutoCAD tools and work processes
• Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) and Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS)
• Power system modeling tools (SKM, ETAP, or similar)
• Arc flash analysis and mitigation
• Knowledge of DOE and LANL Engineering Standards and Conduct of Engineering principles and procedures

Work Location: The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management.

Position Commitment: Regular appointment employees are required to serve a period of continuous service in their current position in order to be eligible to apply for posted jobs throughout the Laboratory.
