DARHT Mechanical Engineered Systems Tec; Engineered Systems Tec

What You Will Do

This position will be filled at either the Engineered Systems Tec 1 or 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.

The DARHT Engineering, Operations, and Physics Group (J-6) is looking for an Engineered Systems Tec to join the Mechanical Systems Design and Engineering Team. J-6 provides state-of-the-art accelerator, pulsed power, beam-target, and radiographic physics capabilities in support of LANL's hydrodynamic test mission. Core responsibilities of the Mechanical and Engineering Team include: (a) troubleshooting, maintaining, and upgrading of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) accelerator mechanical systems (water, glycol, vacuum, mechanical alignment, etc.),

and (b) designing, modeling, developing, and implementing new mechanical systems to support the DARHT accelerators.
