What You Will Do
The Manufacturing Focused Analysis Group (PAT-1) within the Associate Laboratory Directorate for Weapons Production (ALDWP) at Los Alamos National Laboratory seeks highly motivated STEM professionals to support mission-critical manufacturing operations through advanced analytics, modeling, and decision-support tool development.
- Develop decision-support tools that synthesize production and facility data into meaningful metrics and visualizations
- Process, structure, and analyze large and diverse operational datasets
- Design and implement discrete-event simulation models to evaluate process behavior and assess the effects of schedule, capacity, staffing, or infrastructure changes
- Integrate analytics and modeling outputs into dashboards and executive-level reporting products
- Collaborate with subject‑matter experts to define problem statements, validate assumptions, and ensure analytical rigor
Additional focus areas include digital twin integration (including NVIDIA Omniverse environments), LiDAR data processing and spatial analysis, advanced visualization development, and enterprise dashboard solutions.
What You NeedThe position will be filled at either the Scientist 1 or Scientist 2 level, depending on the selected candidate’s experience. Candidates at the higher level will assume additional responsibilities.
Scientist 1 ($96,600 – $158,000)- Experience applying problem-solving techniques to data, results, or simulations
- Analysis skills, including the ability to compile and interpret data using statistical concepts and present findings clearly
- Ability to translate data into effective requirements and planning assumptions
- Effective written and oral communication skills, including interaction with subject‑matter experts, project customers, and stakeholders
- Ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
- Demonstrated technical experience in a STEM discipline applied to projects in data analytics, decision support, process improvement, or simulation modeling and analysis
- Demonstrated ability to communicate information to a broad audience through presentations, reports, and verbal communication to technical and management audiences
- Demonstrated ability to mentor junior staff and peers in technical and professional growth
- Experience leading analyses, design/development, or research in support of projects
Education/Experience at lower level: Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM field and 2 years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation.
Education/Experience at higher level: Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM field and 4 years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation.

- Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
- Familiarity with digital twin development and integration
- Experience with computer programming languages and coding principles
- Familiarity with databases and working with large datasets (SQL, Access, Pandas, etc.)
- Familiarity with processing data using statistics and visualization techniques (JMP, R, Python, Micro Strategy, Power BI, etc.)
- Advanced degree desired at the higher job level
- PPO or high-deductible medical insurance with a nationwide network
- Dental and vision insurance
- Basic life and disability insurance
- Paid childbirth and parental leave
- Award-winning 401(k) (6% matching plus 3.5% annually)
