Perform tasks using computer-aided design (CAD) and software analysis tools including FEA.
Independently resolve project issues using professional engineering concepts.
Provide guidance and assistance to other professional staff as necessary.
Prepare technical reports and perform developmental work.
Consult with senior engineers and collaborate with scientific personnel to understand project requirements.
In Addition at the .3 Level:
Work on small projects with little instruction, developing solutions to complicated problems.
Assist others in resolving issues outside immediate responsibility.
Participate in discussions of engineering components of scientific initiatives.
Prepare design specifications, analyses, and recommendations for presentation to scientific and management personnel.
Conduct technical projects/programs involving design, fabrication, and evaluation of mechanical components.
Formulate cost and schedule data and prepare technical reports.
What is Required:
Requires a BS degree, or equivalent, in engineering or a related field. Normally 2+ years of relevant experience.
Demonstrated knowledge and experience in mechanical engineering concepts, theories, practices, and tools.
Ability to apply engineering principles to design and implement technical projects.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
A minimum of 2 years of work experience in one or more of the following areas:
Application of modeling techniques applied to combined mechanical and thermal systems;
Design and fabrication of metallic and/or composite structures;
Experience with Accelerator Vacuum systems and/or cryogenic applications;
Precision machine design and fabrication.
In Addition at the .3 Level:
Requires a BS degree, or equivalent, in engineering or a related field. Normally 5+ years of relevant experience.
Demonstrated technical expertise sufficient to perform complicated engineering work.
Ability to plan, organize, conduct, and lead technical projects/programs.
Desired Qualifications:
Supervisory experience.
Composite Design and Manufacturing.
Precision Machine Design.
Salary:
If hired at level 2:
The full salary range for this position is between $7,469 to $12,600 per month, with a targeted range of $8,401 to $10,268 per month, depending on skills, knowledge, and experience.
