As the Savannah River Site's management and operations contractor since 2008, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) makes the world safer. With safety and security in the forefront, SRNS develops innovative approaches to deliver on our environmental commitments and nuclear materials challenges; supplies products and services necessary to maintain the nation's nuclear deterrent; secures nuclear materials to prevent unwanted proliferation; and transforms nuclear materials into assets and stable waste forms.

The SRNS workforce is highly capable, engaged, and adaptable to meet existing and expanding missions. SRNS employees apply superior expertise and innovative solutions to complex and challenging national and global issues. We have the knowledge to address a range of national and international nuclear issues. We make the world safer—and you can, too.

Engineering Support roles encompass a diverse range of positions that provide technical assistance and expertise to engineering teams across various disciplines. These roles may involve tasks such as conducting research, performing analyses, and assisting in the design and development of engineering projects. Engineering support professionals work closely with engineers and other stakeholders to ensure projects meet quality standards, deadlines, and budgetary constraints.

Engineering specialists support engineers in the design, modification, improvement, and maintenance of products, processes, and systems in support of nuclear facility operations and missions. Activities include identifying and recommending improvements/preventive actions, inspecting, testing, maintaining, repairing, and installing equipment and systems. They may develop/configure software and/or applications. They monitor processes, estimate costs, make, or verify calculations, and analyze and interpret data. They test new and modified products, processes, and/or systems.

Metrology Engineers apply measurement science, mathematics, physics, and engineering principles to develop and/or design and support measurement systems, processes, and procedures for calibration of measurement and test equipment. They use statistics to analyze calibration standards and processes, evaluate new calibration methods and procedures, recommend calibration standards, and monitor compliance with calibration laboratory and/or departmental processes.

• Instrument and system development: develop and/or design and support systems, processes, methods and procedures for calibrating metrology equipment.
• Calibration and maintenance: perform calibration, verification, and maintenance on metrology equipment to ensure ongoing accuracy and performance.
• Data analysis: analyze metrology data to assess calibration quality, identify trends, perform statistical analysis, and correlate results with performance metrics; develop uncertainty budgets.
• Quality assurance: develop and implement measurement techniques, procedures, and protocols for quality assurance and control, ensuring compliance with specifications and international standards like ISO 17025.
• Process improvement: collaborate with manufacturing, process, and quality engineers to troubleshoot measurement-related issues and implement solutions to improve accuracy and efficiency; research calibration requirements to recommend calibration standards.
• Validation and testing: create and execute validation plans and test setups for new equipment, processes, and prototypes.
• Training: train technicians and other personnel on proper use, maintenance, and repair of metrology systems.

• Associate's degree in a relevant field plus applicable certification or on-the-job training plus at least three years of experience in an applicable role, OR High school diploma plus applicable certification or on-the-job training plus at least five years of experience in an applicable role.
• Equivalencies to experience and education requirements will be considered.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (often mechanical, electrical, or related field), physics, or mathematics.
• Experience with measurement systems, calibration, and analysis preferably in a Measurement…
