Senior Mechanical Engineer
Science and Technology on a Mission!
For more than 60 years, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has applied science and technology to make the world a safer place.
We have multiple openings for Senior Mechanical Engineers to participate in new and ongoing projects. We provide nuclear weapon engineering design expertise; systems engineering; experimental device design; fabrication and assembly; surveillance of nuclear stockpile components; engineering analysis and computational simulation; and engineering testing for evaluation and maintenance of the enduring and future nuclear weapon stockpile. Our engineers interface with colleagues at other National Laboratories and Production Agencies, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and Department of Defense (DoD) and their contractors. These positions are in the Defense Technologies Engineering Division (DTED), within the Engineering Directorate. DTED provides support to Weapons and Complex Integration (WCI) Programs.
These positions will be filled at either the SES.3 or SES.4 level depending on your qualifications. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if you are selected at the higher level.
Essential Duties
Provide technical expertise in mechanical and electromechanical design.
Conduct research in structural, thermal, hydraulic, or dynamics modeling of mechanical systems.
Produce advanced conceptual and detail designs in support of on-going projects.
Prepare supporting health and safety documentation that is aligned with the Integrated Safety Management (ISM) requirement and participate in design and Management Prestart Reviews.
Coordinate project interfaces and deployment interfacing with other organizations internal and external to the Laboratory.
Lead and/or provide guidance and technical direction to multidisciplinary project teams in a growing, dynamic environment.
Perform other duties as assigned.
In Addition at the SES.4 Level
Set broad project vision and strategy and influence technical direction for self and others.
Provide expert capability in highly complex mechanical design and analysis.
Qualifications
Bachelor's (BS) degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.
Demonstrated advanced knowledge of mechanical design.
Significant experience in prototype development and testing, as well as hardware design and analysis.
Demonstrated ability to devise solutions for unique and complex problems.
Demonstrated ability and flexibility to reprioritize and change programmatic direction depending on emergent requests.
Significant experience in managing, overseeing, and delivering multiple projects on budget and schedule.
Demonstrated ability to lead, manage, and mentor junior team members.
Advanced communication skills with proven ability to present concepts and ideas in a clear and coherent manner, both verbal and written for presentation and interaction with other technical staff members.
In Addition at the SES.4 Level
Demonstrated expertise in highly complex mechanical design and analysis and significant experience in project planning and highly complex technical leadership.
Significant experience developing and implementing creative solutions to a diverse range of highly complex problems and leading corrective actions where necessary.
Expert communication, facilitation, and collaboration skills necessary to present, explain, and advise senior management and/or external sponsors and demonstrated record of team building and conflict resolution.
Desired Qualifications
MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Demonstrated advanced knowledge of systems engineering principles and practices and their application.
