Electrical Engineer - Plutonium Facilities
About the role
This is a hands-on electrical design engineering role supporting one of the most consequential facility programs in the country. As an Electrical Engineer 2 on LANL's Plutonium Rapid Response Team, you will directly support TA-55 plutonium facility operations by developing construction documents, interpreting electrical designs, and resolving field engineering issues in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment. You will work within a secure, multi-discipline engineering team coordinating across operations, maintenance, construction, and project management - developing real engineering deliverables that directly impact facility safety, reliability, and operational performance. For engineers ready to step into a high-consequence technical environment with long-term potential, this role offers strong extension and conversion opportunities at one of the nation's premier national security institutions. Start: ASAP. Duration: 1 year with possible extension up to 3 years and conversion potential.
