Mechanical Designer 2 - Mission Critical

Sargent & Lundy•Richland, WA

About The Position

Perform design of special-purpose, one-of-a-kind equipment including gloveboxes, precision furnaces, hot cells, custom pressure vessels, and the associated controls and auxiliary systems. Under the direction of the Mechanical Project Lead, develop drawings and/or 3D CAD models, while working on multi-disciplined design projects. Work on challenging assignments that include investigating, troubleshooting, and solving a wide variety of mechanical design issues. Utilize 2D and 3D CAD modeling software tools to generate design packages. Participate in the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated design model. Coordinate and provide support to other designers and project team members to ensure a complete and timely design package.
