Engineering Technologist Mechanical Design Drafter - Accelerator Systems

Position: Engineering Technologist 3 Mechanical Design Drafter - Accelerator Systems
** What You Will Do*
* ** This position is open for external candidates only to apply.*
* The Accelerator Operations and Technology (AOT) Division provides leadership in the Laboratory's core capability of Accelerators and Electrodynamics. Accelerators and Electrodynamics enables charged particle acceleration through controlled utilization of electromagnetic fields, supporting National Security missions involving radiographic imaging, remote measurements of electromagnetic signatures, and development of new capabilities. AOT operates the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) proton accelerator complex and conducts applied research and development in accelerator-focused technologies as they apply to Free Electron Lasers, National Security Science programs, and future accelerator missions.

The Mechanical Design Engineering Group (AOT-MDE) supports division goals in several technical functions. The group's core functions expand a wide range of accelerator components and systems, including cooling water systems, vacuum systems, electromagnets, and electromechanical diagnostic devices. Designers work directly with engineers to execute design solutions and analysis of these systems, as well as direct the maintenance and improvement projects of the LANSCE accelerator.

AOT-MDE is seeking a strongly self-motivated Engineering Technologist to be a member of the Mechanical Design Team.
