About The Position

This senior engineering role supports highly technical and advanced manufacturing processes, potentially requiring specialized qualifications, knowledge, and skills. The position involves project management, designing, developing, and evaluating quality-control functions on complex engineering projects, and applying mathematics, physical science, and advanced engineering technologies to develop innovative solutions to technical problems. The role serves as a recognized authority in its area of expertise and works under general administrative direction, sometimes making decisions with limited review. It plans projects and manages resources across multiple people and disciplines to meet quality, delivery, and cost objectives. The engineer conducts research and development, writes technical reports, mentors less experienced engineers, uses data to recommend design changes, and implements innovations that improve quality, flowtime, productivity, and operational surety. The role also works with design agency and supplier counterparts to resolve design, development, production, and acceptance issues. The position is based at the Kansas City National Security Campus in Kansas City, Missouri. Employees must be able to work on-site and travel as needed. The role requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree from an ABET-accredited program in Engineering or Physics.
At least 6 years of relevant experience in engineering, analytical, or related technical activities.
U.S. citizenship.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance.
Ability to travel up to 15% of the time.
Ability to work remotely, in a hybrid arrangement, or on-site as directed by management and business needs.

Nice To Haves

Knowledge of manufacturing or quality processes and techniques.
Experience applying advanced design, development, evaluation, and quality-control techniques to complex engineering concepts and projects.
Ability to work without supervision, with latitude for independent action and decision-making.
Ability to provide technical and project-management guidance, consultative services, and innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

Provide engineering support for highly technical and advanced manufacturing processes.
Plan projects and manage resources, including multiple individuals and disciplines, to achieve quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
Conduct research and development and write technical reports on experiments to resolve complex engineering and quality problems.
Mentor lower-level engineers and establish operating procedures for new products and components.
Use data to define and recommend new designs, design changes, and alternate designs for instruments and test equipment to assure product quality and resolve processing, inspection, and design problems.
Evaluate and implement innovations and technological advances that improve quality, reduce flowtime, improve productivity, and enhance operational surety.
Work with design agency and supplier counterparts to resolve moderate to complex design, development, production, and acceptance issues.
Apply advanced engineering technologies, mathematics, and physical science to solve technical problems.
