[Remote] Talent Bridge: Nuclear Remote Systems Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Idaho National Laboratory is a science-based, applied engineering national laboratory dedicated to supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's mission in nuclear energy research. The Nuclear Remote Systems Engineer develops, operates, and maintains remotely operated mechanical systems and hot cell equipment, collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure safe and efficient nuclear research operations.
Responsibilities
• Responsible for the development and production of remotely operated process equipment/systems for use in the harsh environments represented in hot-cell and glove-box applications. Support of the operation and maintenance of remotely operated process equipment/systems and technical baseline
• Provide imaginative and practical engineering solutions to research related programmatic issues and challenges where highly specialized equipment solutions are required to be designed (typically one-of-kind design)
• Design and development of new processes and handling equipment. Design systems, equipment, and fixturing, for remote applications
• Modify existing process equipment/systems to support new missions. Adapt commercially available equipment for remote applications. Install and qualify (Mockup) of new Post Irradiation Examination (PIE) and test equipment & Instrumentation
• Serve as a technical interface between nuclear facility, principal investigators, projects and programs
• Support research through process development, operation and data analysis of nuclear fuel and material measurements in Nuclear Facilities
• Interact with research personnel to establish experiment specific requirements for remote processes and examinations
• Complete design reviews and verification
• Configuration management of assigned systems and Engineering Change (EC) process
• May be responsible for procurement, quality level determination, scheduling, and cost estimating for small projects
Skills
• Completed Mechanical Engineering or directly related engineering Bachelor's degree within the last 12 months from an ABET-accredited institution
• Completed Mechanical Engineering or directly related engineering Master's degree within the last 12 months from an ABET-accredited institution
• Demonstrated understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals through coursework, design projects, or laboratory work involving mechanical design and analysis
• Interest in nuclear, radiological, remote handling, or hot cell applications; academic or project-based exposure considered beneficial
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Energy 'Q' clearance, which requires U.S. Citizenship
• Current Resume or CV
• Proof of Graduation (diploma or unofficial transcripts accepted)
• Use scientific rules and methods to solve problems
• Identify complex problems and review related information to develop and evaluate options and implement solutions
• Ability to listen to and understand information and ideas presented through spoken words and sentences
• Ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand
Benefits
• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Flexible Spending Accounts
• 401(k) with a 4.2% employer contribution and up to 4.8% match (regular positions) or self-contribute access (postdoctoral positions)
• Paid time off (personal leave)
• Employee Education Program (tuition assistance for eligible positions)
• Comprehensive Relocation Package
