Electrical Engineer

What You Will Do

Are you a talented and driven electrical engineer looking to apply your expertise in support of nuclear, accelerator or non‑nuclear facilities? Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), a premier national security science laboratory, is seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer to join our Engineering Services (ES) Division, primarily focused on non‑nuclear facilities.

In this pivotal role, you will:

• Develop electrical details, design/analysis calculations, specifications, etc. that incorporate the applicable design requirements for facility projects.
• Contribute to the implementation of the Conduct of Engineering (COE) program, ensuring systems, structures, and components are properly modified and installed across our 38‑square‑mile campus.
• Support the Laboratory's vital scientific and national security mission by leveraging your electrical engineering expertise.
• Work collaboratively with cross‑functional teams to design, analyze, and troubleshoot electrical systems for facilities.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant safety, security, and quality standards.
• Support Breaker Maintenance team by assisting electricians to troubleshoot issues found on equipment during maintenance on rotating evening shifts.
• Perform Power System Engineering Studies including Short Circuit, Device Coordination, Equipment Sizing, and Arc Flash for both medium and low voltage equipment.

As part of our design agency serving the Engineering Services Utilities Project Delivery (ES‑UPD) Division, you will function as a vital member of multiple design teams, shaping LANL's facilities and infrastructure to serve the needs of our growing and changing Laboratory. You will provide engineering consulting services across all project phases, including scoping, design, construction, commissioning, and operations.

Note:

This position will be filled at Engineer 1/Engineer 2 level depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.
