  • Define problem scope and requirements, develop technical approaches, and apply quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g., fault-tree, FMEA, margin quantification)
  • Design experiments or simulations to evaluate safety-critical subsystems, collaborating with system and test engineers to verify requirements
  • Develop analytical frameworks and digital models to support risk-informed decisions
  • Mentor junior engineers in safety-analysis techniques and review their deliverables for technical accuracy
  • Communicate findings in technical reports and executive-level briefs that directly inform leadership decisions and stockpile assessment reviews

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline and five (5) years of directly relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development
  • An active DOE Q clearance, or equivalent is required to start
  • High proficiency in foundational science and engineering principles, including safety-analysis methods such as fault-tree analysis, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), and margin quantification
  • Experience with systems engineering for nuclear or high-consequence weapons systems, including applying system-of-systems thinking to ensure end-to-end functionality
  • Proven ability to lead complex technical projects on schedule, mentor team members, and deliver high-quality products, with demonstrated leadership experience as a project manager, technical lead, principal investigator, or similar role
  • Understanding of nuclear surety and reliability requirements, including familiarity with nuclear weapon safety standards, related DOE orders, and the SNL nuclear weapon product realization process
  • Background in reliability engineering or advanced margin-quantification frameworks
  • Excellent technical writing and executive presentation skills
  • Proven ability to work on challenging engineering problems in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment requiring extensive cross-organizational teamwork

Nice to have

  • Graduate degree in Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation)
  • Experience working with Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) laboratories and plants including Pantex, Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLNL) and Kansas City National Security Campus/New Mexico Operations (KCNSC/NMO)
  • Experience working on engineering design, qualification, production, or related modeling/simulation projects
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams

What we offer

  • Challenging work with amazing impact that contributes to security, peace, and freedom worldwide
  • Extraordinary co-workers
  • Some of the best tools, equipment, and research facilities in the world
  • Career advancement and enrichment opportunities
