Electrical Engineer

What You Will Do

Are you a talented and driven electrical engineer looking to apply your expertise in support of critical nuclear facilities? Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), a premier national security science laboratory, is seeking a skilled Nuclear Facilities Electrical Engineer to join our Engineering Services (ES) Division.

In this pivotal role, you will:

• Develop, maintain, and apply a diverse set of electrical engineering capabilities to provide innovative solutions for LANL's nuclear, accelerator, and non-nuclear facilities
• Contribute to the implementation of the Conduct of Engineering (COE) program, ensuring systems, structures, and components are properly modified and installed across our 38-square-mile campus
• Support the Laboratory's vital scientific and national security mission by leveraging your electrical engineering expertise
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to design, analyze, and troubleshoot electrical systems for nuclear facilities
• Ensure compliance with all relevant safety, security, and quality standards

As part of our design agency serving the Weapons Project Delivery (WPD) Division, you will function as a vital member of multiple design teams, shaping LANL's facilities and infrastructure to serve the needs of our growing and changing Laboratory. In this pivotal role, you will provide engineering consulting services across all project phases, including scoping, design, construction, commissioning, and operations.

If you are an electrical engineer with a passion for nuclear facilities and a drive to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Join us in pushing the boundaries of science and technology in service of our nation.

Note:

This position will be filled at either the Nuclear Facilities Engineer 1/Nuclear Facilities Engineer 2 level depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.

$94,500 - $154,600

Key responsibilities and benefits of this level 1 role include (but are not limited to):

Learning & Growth

• Learn from experienced electrical engineers and their in-depth knowledge of various construction methods and electrical systems
• Learn how to be an effective and contributing member of a design team
• Learn and gain expertise in state-of-the-art electrical design software
• Learn how to navigate and implement prevailing industry codes and standards

Mission Impact

• See how your engineering skills can contribute to national security

Design & Engineering

• See your ideas come to life on paper and in construction
• Gain expertise in the development of design deliverables including drawings, specifications, test and inspection plans (TIPs), statements of special inspections (SSIs), and calculations

$104,100 - $172,200

In addition to what was outlined at the level 1 position, as an Electrical Engineer 2 you will have the opportunity to:

• Develop skills to independently run all electrical engineering facets of a project from scoping to construction
• Foster relationships with project stakeholders and customers as a representative of Engineering Services
• Facilitate technical growth of the electrical design team

What You Need

Minimum

Job Requirements:

• Ability to prepare calculations, apply engineering methods, and apply technology aided engineering tools to facility and operations-based engineering challenges
• Ability to support timely and collaborative construction execution. This includes timely review of submittals, requests for information (RFIs), design changes, non-conformance issues, validation of commissioning documentation and produce accurate as-built documents
• Basic knowledge of engineering principles, codes, and standards (NEC, NFPA, IEEE, etc.)
• Working experience in power system engineering, including fault current analysis, voltage drop calculations, protection coordination studies, incident energy studies and equipment sizing

In addition to the requirements outlined above, qualification at the higher level requires:

• Demonstrated design experience in commercial and/or government sectors
• Demonstrated experience in the development of engineering drawings, specifications, calculations, test and inspection plans (TIPs), and statements of special inspection (SSIs)
• Demonstrated experience in the scoping of complex projects to produce an estimate of engineering costs for both design and construction activities
