• This Position is 100% ON-SITE at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in Los Alamos, New Mexico
• Long-term travel arrangements and per diem are available (subject to LANL travel guidelines)
• NUCLEAR / SSP / NNSA EXPERIENCE ARE HIGHLY REGARDED

• This position is responsible for work that requires a range of expertise in Creo 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD), hardware design, fabrication, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and engineering concepts.
• This individual may also be expected to guide teams consisting of staff from diverse backgrounds through design iterations to address potential engineering defects.
• Completed work is reviewed with the expectation of expert results without appreciable direction.
• This engineer will be involved with technical solutions to complex and/or unique problems, which require the regular use of ingenuity, creativity and independence.
• May be asked to mentor junior staff on the details of models-based definition and GD&T.

• Applicants who have a current Top Secret or DOE "Q" clearance are highly sought after
• Although a current clearance is not required, this position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE "Q" security clearance
• The candidate must be a United States citizen

• Candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology Science, Math, or a related degree from an accredited institution and 8 years of directly related experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to mechanical design as described below.

We are looking for professionals who have an advanced understanding of:

Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (CAD) / Creo

• Experience with mechanical computer-aided design, manufacturing, inspection, assembly, and testing.
• Experience checking Creo models and drawings for form, fit, and function and Models Based Definition (MBD).
• Experience conducting tolerance and stack analyses as well as compliance with most recent design standards.
• Proven mechanical design experience for ensuring product definition meets requirements as well as for producibility while reducing rejected products.
• Knowledge and experience with MBD to recommend best practices or methods of improvement while maintaining compliance with NNSA, LANL, and industry standards.
• Proven experience working with Creo 3D CAD software, PDMLink Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis software.

Design Standards

• Familiar with the application of ASME Y14 standards, with emphasis on Y14.5 - 2009 and Y14.41 MBD.
• Experience with developing and interpreting 3D CAD models standards, practices, and procedures used for conveying design intent internally and to other organizations within the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE).
• Knowledge of hardware fabrication, inspection, and assembly processes.
• Experience with weapon-system configuration management workflows for authorization, review, release, and distribution of models, drawings, specifications, and related product definition.

Communication and Teamwork

• Demonstrated ability to work on multiple tasks for a variety of customers to ensure product definition meets requirements and design intent.
• Proven experience leading reviews for design, manufacture, assembly, and tests.
• Demonstrated effective and efficient written and verbal communication skills.
• Record of developing constructive, cooperative working relationships, and supporting teams consisting of engineers, physicists, scientists, technologists, and technicians in the development of products.
