Electrical Engineer - Plutonium Facilities
About The Position
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.
Requirements

- Minimum 3 years of relevant electrical engineering experience
- Strong experience producing, reviewing, and interpreting electrical design documents
- Experience supporting construction documents, specifications, and field-facing design support
- Working knowledge of industry, regulatory, and DOE/NNSA codes, standards, and criteria relevant to electrical engineering
- Knowledge of commonly applied codes and standards at DOE and DOD facilities including NQA-1, IBC, NFPA, and NEC
- Prior experience facilitating, developing, reviewing, or supporting engineering design packages
- Familiarity with typical engineering deliverables including construction documents
- Experience with computer-aided design and drafting software or markup tools
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a multi-discipline technical team
- Ability to access plant and facility areas and walk around field locations as needed
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q Clearance
- Ability to obtain required LANL access including green strap and A-Level access
- U.S. Citizenship required
