Multiple openings for Security System Design and Configuration Specialists
. You will support the Security and Protection (S&P) Program within the Security Organization. The S&P Program manages the development, maintenance, and operations support of a physical security system at seven NNSA sites. The scope of work within the S&P Systems Engineering section includes technical and operational support for the Enterprise Assets Management (EAM) project: coordination of physical security system equipment inventory, procurements, vendor and contract activities, distribution, obsolescence planning, and depot inventory support across NNSA enterprise sites.

Responsibilities include developing CAD and fabrication drawings, maintaining system design files and configuration documentation for complex security systems, leading hardware distribution efforts, and coordinating with technical staff, customers, procurement personnel, vendors, and site stakeholders to ensure effective execution of project and operational objectives.

• Create, revise, and manage CAD drawings, fabrication drawings, configuration records, and other technical documentation using database and design management tools.
• Respond to manufacturing and fabrication Requests for Information (RFIs) and coordinate resolution with appropriate technical staff.
• Monitor, track, and research obsolete and long lead-time components; identify potential alternates using established methods and guidance.
• Apply quality assurance requirements to technical documentation, hardware handling, and testing activities; coordinate with technical staff to ensure required reviews, test readiness, and documentation compliance.
• Coordinate equipment deployment and distribution activities with the technical team and EAM lead, ensuring configuration control, documentation accuracy, and alignment with operational priorities.
• Coordinate technical procurements for equipment and materials by defining documentation needs, tracking technical requirements, resolving vendor information gaps with engineering staff, and supporting timely delivery for project execution.
• Maintain configuration and inventory records for EAM products and equipment, ensure traceability and accurate location/status data, and identify discrepancies for resolution with the EAM lead and technical staff.
• Contribute to improving EAM operations, inventory management, and configuration control processes by identifying issues, evaluating existing workflows, and recommending practical process enhancements.
• Interact effectively with technical staff, procurement personnel, vendors, customers, and site stakeholders to support project and operational goals.
• Coordinate equipment repair and replacement activities, including RMA actions, failure documentation, vendor communication, status tracking, and technical follow-through to support system readiness.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Advanced knowledge across one or more specialized technical fields relevant to mechanical and electrical drafting, design documentation, fabrication support, and configuration management.
• Independently develop, revise, and maintain complex technical documentation, drawings, and configuration records for security system hardware and related assets.
• Independently research component availability, obsolescence risks, pricing, and technical substitutes; evaluate options and provide recommendations based on cost, schedule, technical compatibility, and operational impact.
• Lead selected hardware distribution, inventory, or configuration management efforts involving multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and parallel tasks.
• Provide technical guidance and recommendations to team members, vendors, and stakeholders regarding design documentation, materials, fabrication methods, and implementation planning.
• Represent the organization as a technical resource for assigned tasks and projects, and may provide guidance or informal mentoring to less-experienced personnel.

• Active Department of Energy (DOE) Q-level clearance or active Top Secret clearance issued by another U.S. government agency at the time of hire.
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical area, or equivalent combination of education and related experience.
