Job Description:

We are seeking an R&D Electrical Engineer with nuclear weapons experience to assess both conceptual and realized design details in support of nuclear safety principles. In this position, you will analyze component responses under normal and abnormal environments, focusing on electrical components and systems, while collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines to ensure the highest standards of safety and reliability. You will partner with Assessment Teams, Significant Finding Investigation committees, and Red Teams, to perform comprehensive nuclear safety analyses that support stockpile sustainment and development activities, such as the State of the Stockpile and Annual Assessments. Your ability to communicate assessment findings effectively will be vital, as you prepare technical reports and presentations for audiences ranging from staff engineers to executive leadership, contributing to risk-informed decision making.

Job Responsibility:

  • Independently review detailed technical documents and identify salient issues related to electrical design and testing in the context of nuclear safety
  • Engage with weapon system, component design, assurance, and other surety organizations, with a focus on electrical components and systems
  • Maintain awareness of issues related to design, development, production, maintenance, and dismantlement of weapon systems, particularly in the electrical domain
  • Assess tests, materials, and components for adequacy against requirements, emphasizing electrical testing and analysis
  • Evaluate procedures, product specifications, and standards for compliance with nuclear safety requirements
  • Lead independent safety assessments of nuclear weapon systems and components, analyzing responses under thermal, shock, vibration, and EMI/EMC environments, utilizing your expertise in electrical circuit design and analysis
  • Define problem scope and requirements, develop technical approaches, and apply quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g., fault-tree analysis, failure-modes-and-effects analysis, margin quantification)
  • Design experiments or simulations to evaluate safety-critical subsystems, collaborating with system and test engineers to verify requirements, particularly in electrical testing
  • Develop analytical frameworks and digital models to support risk-informed decisions leveraging your experience in system-of-systems thinking for electrical integration
  • 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, 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
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance
  • Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate well in a multidisciplinary team of designers and test engineers
  • Outstanding verbal and written skills, including the ability to develop and present briefings
  • Experience working on engineering design, qualification, production, or related modeling/simulation projects
  • Expertise in electrical circuit design and analysis: Proficiency in power electronics, micro-electronics, integrated circuits, and analog and digital circuit design applied to safety-critical systems, including RF, optical, or radar sensors
  • Proficiency in safety-analysis methods: Strong understanding of fault-tree analysis, failure-modes-and-effects analysis, and margin quantification, with a background in reliability engineering or advanced margin-quantification frameworks
  • Experience with systems engineering: Demonstrated experience in systems engineering for nuclear or high-consequence weapons systems, including familiarity with the SNL nuclear weapon product realization process and nuclear weapon safety standards and related DOE orders
  • System-of-systems thinking: Experience applying system-of-systems thinking to electrical integration, ensuring end-to-end functionality
  • Leadership and project management: Proven ability to lead complex technical projects on schedule, mentor team members, and deliver high-quality products. Demonstrated leadership experience as a project manager, technical lead, principal investigator, or similar role
  • Understanding of nuclear surety: Knowledge of nuclear surety and reliability requirements for electrical systems
  • Collaborative problem-solving: Proven ability to work on challenging engineering problems in a fast-paced collaborative team environment that requires extensive cross-organizational and multi-disciplinary teaming

Nice to have:

  • Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate well in a multidisciplinary team of designers and test engineers
  • Outstanding verbal and written skills, including the ability to develop and present briefings
