What You Will Do The Engineering Services Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory develops, maintains, and applies a diverse set of engineering capabilities to provide innovative engineering solutions that enable the Laboratory's scientific and national security mission. This position is within the Engineering Services Division Office (ES-DO). PD Groups are responsible for implementing the Conduct of Engineering (COE) program at Los Alamos National Laboratory in support of systems, structure and component modifications and new installations. This position supports nuclear, accelerator or non-nuclear facilities across 38 square miles of the Laboratory. Note: This position will be filled at either the Nuclear Facilities Engineer (NFE) 1 / NFE 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. Electrical Design Engineer Level 1 ($90,000 - $147,100) As an Electrical design engineer with Engineering Services, you will function as part of a design agency serving one of three Facilities Operations Directorates (FODs). You will concurrently work on multiple design teams shaping LANL's facilities and infrastructure to serve the needs of a growing and changing Laboratory. Your teams will provide engineering consulting services typical of any or all project phases: scoping; design; construction; commissioning; operation. The level 1 role includes the following job opportunities: * Learn from experienced electrical engineers and their in-depth knowledge of various construction methods and electrical systems!
* See how your engineering skills can contribute to national security!
* See your ideas come to life on paper and in construction!
* 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.
* Gain expertise in the development of design deliverables including drawings, specifications, test and inspection plans (TIPs), statements of special inspections (SSIs), and calculations.
Electrical Design Engineer Level 2 ($99,200 - $164,100): In addition to what was outlined at the level 1 position, as an NFE 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.
Additional Job Requirements for Electrical Engineer 2: 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.
