We are seeking an experienced R&D Systems Engineer to join the W93/Mk7 program to develop and lead the testing activities needed to evaluate and qualify the nuclear weapon system in electromagnetic (EM) environments. The successful candidate will become part of a highly motivated, mission-driven team, supporting the engineering and programmatic challenges of a new development program. The successful candidate should be comfortable in both technical and cooperative leadership venues with strong teaming and communication skills.

  • Collaborating regularly with partners at Sandia, Los Alamos National Laboratories, Lockheed Martin Space, Applied Physics Lab, Navy Strategic Programs, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) to develop joint qualification strategies for the program.
  • Defining the technical details of the EM testing plans, both for early design evaluation and formal system qualification, including performance characterization in operational environments, test asset definition and hardware planning, testing resources identification and facility engagement, and joint testing agreements between our partners.
  • Defining EM testing data needs.
  • Managing the systems engineering complexities that influence evaluation and qualification activities through the use of tools (e.g. mapping system requirements to verification requirements/data needs, test events, test plans, results, etc.).
  • Engaging with the system design team and component organizations throughout system development to define and inform approaches to help mature system architecture and design decisions towards a successful final qualification.
  • Managing testing resources and providing support for laboratory and field test activities.
  • Preparing test plans, test execution, data analysis, and generation of technical reports.
  • Managing EM modeling/simulation resources and integrating resulting analysis with test activities to generate comprehensive evidence packages.
  • Preparing presentations and other supporting documentation needed for technical reviews.
  • A bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline and five (5) years of directly relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development.
  • Active DOE Q or DOD TS security clearance.
  • Graduate degree in Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation).
  • Experience working with Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) laboratories and plants including Pantex, Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLNL) and Kansas City National Security Campus/New Mexico Operations (KCNSC/NMO).
  • Experience working on engineering design, qualification, production, or related modeling/simulation projects.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Experience in systems engineering of complex systems; multidisciplinary experience across areas such as design, testing, and/or analysis; familiarity with RF and microwave simulation, testing, and facilities; knowledge of Mil-Std-461 EM compatibility requirements and Mil-Std-464 EM effects and requirements.
  • Specific experience in Nuclear Weapon component or system design, development, qualification, or production.
  • Demonstrated ability to understand and work with a diverse set of technologies, testing, and analytical methods.
  • Demonstrated strong interpersonal and leadership skills, with the ability to work successfully across broad teams with competing interests.
  • Specific experience building and maintaining relationships across the DOE and DoD.
  • Experience applying model-based systems engineering (MBSE) techniques to manage interdependencies and complexities across the system.
  • Generous vacation
  • Strong medical and other benefits
  • Competitive 401k
  • Learning opportunities
  • Relocation assistance
  • Amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance
  • Flexible work arrangements including 9/80 and 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting.
