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

GET•Los Alamos, NM

13d•Onsite

About The Position

Global Engineering & Technology (GET) is hiring Mechanical Design Engineers to support vital national security work at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), including checking design definition for the first new weapon system program in over 30 years. The position is 100% on-site in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Long-term travel arrangements and per diem are available subject to LANL travel guidelines. Nuclear, SSP, and NNSA experience are highly regarded. The role requires expertise in Creo 3D CAD, hardware design and fabrication, GD&T, and engineering concepts. The engineer checks design definitions and may guide teams with diverse backgrounds through design iterations to address potential engineering defects. Work involves technical solutions to complex or unique problems and requires ingenuity, creativity, and independence. Completed work is expected to be expert in quality and require little direction. The engineer may mentor junior staff in model-based definition and GD&T.
