What You Will Do
Join our world‑class team as we develop strategies for nuclear weapons data at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and across the nuclear security enterprise (NSE). The National Security Research Center Mission Support (NSRCMS) Group in the Weapons Research Services Division (WRS‑DO) is looking for a Data Concierge (Technical Project Manager

In this role, you will work closely with WRS Developers and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from groups across the laboratory to lead the implementation of materials data management in support of the weapons program. This implementation will include establishing and documenting standards and best practices for schema, data upload, and data review/release as well as configuring, maintaining, and updating schema for this data in collaboration with SMEs and data generators.
Your work will enable our team to develop, populate, and maintain the data collections necessary for national security applications.
