Cognizant Mechanical System Engineer (Mechanical Nuclear Facilities Engineer 1/2)

About the role

As a Nuclear Facilities Engineer with Engineering Services, you will function as a Cognizant Mechanical System Engineer (CSE) assigned to Vital Safety Systems at the Weapons Engineering Tritium Facility (WETF). WETF is part of the portfolio of facilities located within LANL's Weapons Facilities Operations (WFO). WFO works hand in hand with nuclear weapons R&D groups to develop and maintain the nation's weapons stockpile. The CSE serves as the best-integrated source of expert knowledge for a given system or component in their assigned facilities and therefore is responsible for a wide range of support activities.
