Location: Los Alamos, NM
Cap-Exempt H-1B Position — No lottery required
**What You Will Do** The Accelerator Operations and Technology (AOT) Division provides leadership in the Laboratory's core capability of Accelerators and Electrodynamics. Accelerators and Electrodynamics enables charged particle acceleration through controlled utilization of electromagnetic fields, supporting National Security missions involving radiographic imaging, remote measurements of electromagnetic signatures, and development of new capabilities. AOT operates the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) proton accelerator complex and conducts applied research and development in accelerator-focused technologies as they apply to Free Electron Lasers, National Security Science programs, and future accelerator missions. The Mechanical Design Engineering Group (AOT-MDE) supports division goals in several technical functions. The group's core functions expand a wide range of accelerator components and systems, including cooling water systems, vacuum systems, electromagnets, and electromechanical diagnostic devices. Engineers perform design and analysis of these systems, as well as direct the maintenance and improvement projects of the LANSCE accelerator. AOT-MDE is seeking a strongly self-motivated Mechanical Design Drafter 5 to be a member of the Design Team. **What You Need** **Minimum Job Requirements:** - Demonstrate advanced mechanical design and drafting experience, illustrating the ability to provide creative and practical solutions to a variety of design problems. - Demonstrate professional drafting and design experience in one or more of MDE group's core responsibilities, which includes vacuum vessels and tubing design, accelerator structure design, RF-drive systems, water-cooling systems, beam line layout, beam target design, electromagnet design, and accelerator diagnostic device design. - Demonstrated advanced experience with three- dimensional Computer Aided Design programs such as SolidWorks or CREO. - Demonstrated advanced use of drafting practices
