What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Design Engineer position at Coastal International Security, Inc.?
Senior Design Engineer – Plutonium Facilities Rapid Response Team (DOE/LANL)
Location: Los Alamos, NM | 100% Onsite (TA-55 and surrounding areas)
Compensation: $89-$95 per hour
Schedule: TBD
Openings: Up to 2 positions | Electrical and Civil/Structural disciplines
Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship Required
Clearance: DOE Q Clearance required | Human Reliability Program (HRP) participation required
WHY THIS ROLE
LANL's Plutonium Facilities Engineering Rapid Response Team is seeking up to two Senior Design Engineers - one in Electrical and one in Civil/Structural - to support mission-critical facility design, operation, and maintenance activities at and around TA-55. This is a senior-level engineering role requiring expert knowledge of DOE/NNSA codes and standards, extensive design package development experience, and the ability to operate independently in one of the most technically demanding and security-sensitive nuclear environments in the country.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical: Candidates should bring deep expertise in electrical systems design for nuclear or high-hazard industrial facilities - power distribution, lighting, grounding, instrumentation, and control systems consistent with IEEE, NFPA 70 (NEC), and DOE electrical standards.
Civil/Structural: Candidates should bring expertise in structural analysis and design for nuclear facility modifications - concrete, steel, seismic analysis, and compliance with ASCE, IBC, IEBC, and NQA-1 requirements.
Must be a U.S. Citizen - Q Clearance and HRP participation are required
