This is a hands‑on electrical design engineering role supporting one of the most consequential facility programs in the country. As an Electrical Engineer 2 on LANL's Plutonium Rapid Response Team, you will directly support TA-55 plutonium facility operations by developing construction documents, interpreting electrical designs, and resolving field engineering issues in a fast‑paced, mission‑critical environment.

You will work within a secure, multi‑discipline engineering team coordinating across operations, maintenance, construction, and project management - developing real engineering deliverables that directly impact facility safety, reliability, and operational performance. For engineers ready to step into a high‑consequence technical environment with long‑term potential, this role offers strong extension and conversion opportunities at one of the nation's premier national security institutions.
