What You Will Do
As a process engineer for C-AAC, the successful candidate(s) will work with SMEs on a variety of research instruments to implement and maintain Department of Energy standards for operation in Hazard Category 2 and 3 nuclear facilities. This function is crucial to the plutonium pit production effort. The process engineer may also serve as a safety officer for one or more functions, such as pressure safety, electrical safety, etc.
This position serves as an interface between the programmatic group and facility engineering and maintains the baseline of analytical equipment in the nuclear facilities. Process Engineer is a certified position that usually takes 1 to 2 years to complete the certification. The process engineer will become qualified to perform hands‑on work in nuclear facilities, and will cultivate and maintain a working knowledge of the applicability of DOE Orders and working relationships with stakeholders within and without the C‑AAC organization.
