Mechanical Design Engineer / Creo, GD&T, ASME Y14

Global Engineering & Technology, Inc. (GET)•Augusta, GA

2d•$147,500 - $165,000•Onsite

About The Position

Global Engineering & Technology (GET) is hiring multiple Mechanical Design Engineers to support national security work at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The role is responsible for checking design definition in support of a new weapon system program. It requires expertise in Creo 3D CAD, mechanical hardware design, fabrication, GD&T, and engineering concepts. The position is 100% onsite. Long-term travel arrangements and per diem are available subject to LANL travel guidelines. The engineer develops technical solutions to complex or unique problems using ingenuity, creativity, and independence. Work is reviewed with the expectation of expert results without appreciable direction. The engineer may guide multidisciplinary teams through design iterations to address potential engineering defects and may mentor junior staff in models-based definition and GD&T. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance. A current Top Secret or DOE Q clearance is highly desirable. Candidates need a bachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology, science, mathematics, or a related field, plus eight years of directly related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience. Nuclear, SSP, and NNSA experience are highly regarded. The compensation range is $115,000–$130,000 per year, depending on qualifications. Full-time employees receive benefits effective on their first day of employment, with spouse/family coverage available at a company-subsidized rate.
