This is a senior electrical design engineering role at the heart of LANL's Plutonium Rapid Response Team. As an Electrical Engineer 3, you will take on more complex design and coordination responsibilities, provide technical direction to junior engineers, and lead assigned activities across facility design, construction, and field engineering support at and around TA-55.

You will own advanced electrical design deliverables, support interdisciplinary coordination, and directly resolve field issues impacting construction and facility operations - all within one of the most technically demanding and security-sensitive nuclear environments in the country. With strong extension and conversion potential, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career at a world-class national laboratory.
