Engineering Technologist ; Configuration and Systems Engineering Support

Position: Engineering Technologist 2/3 (Configuration and Systems Engineering Support)
** What You Will Do*
* ** This position will be filled at either the Engineering Technologist 2 or 3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.*
* This position is ideal for candidates with backgrounds in software engineering, information systems, or computer science who are interested in applying their skills to complex, real world engineering systems. You will work closely with engineers, operations, and maintenance teams to manage system data, support configuration control, and improve how engineering information is captured, tracked, and used across the facility lifecycle.

The Plutonium Facility Engineering group supports the Laboratory's mission by maintaining the technical integrity of systems and facilities through configuration management, data management, and engineering process execution. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, software, and information systems, ensuring that facility data, system configurations, and technical baselines remain accurate, controlled, and aligned with safety and operational requirements.

Nuclear Facility employees do not just follow requirements, they define them.  They establish the technical foundation for nuclear facilities, safety systems, operational equipment, procedures, testing, acceptance criteria, and quality standards.  Working across disciplines, they integrate seamlessly with programmatic, operations, maintenance, document control, and project management teams to ensure that every requirement supports mission execution without compromise.
