Job Description

We have multiple openings for Electrical Engineers to participate in new and ongoing projects in the area of National Defense. You will have technical responsibility for a range of duties including design, development, fabrication, integration, testing and fielding of both analog and digital electrical systems. You will function as an individual contributor with general guidance as a member of a project team. These positions are in the Defense Technologies Engineering Division (DTED), within the Engineering Directorate.

These positions will be filled at either level based on knowledge and related experience as assessed by the hiring team. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if hired at the higher level.

In this role you will

  • Develop conceptual designs of electrical systems, test prototypes, and associated diagnostics.
  • Provide engineering solutions to a variety of projects in one or more of the following technical areas: analog and digital circuit design, process control systems, pulsed power and electromagnetics, diagnostics and sensor development, electro-optic systems, data acquisition systems and tester development, and facility electrical equipment and infrastructure.
  • Contribute to the detailed design process, component part fabrication, and unit assembly.
  • Generate detailed plans, schedules, and budgets for project activities.
  • Learn and support NNSA, institutional, and other quality assurance requirements and processes for state-of-health surveillance of the nuclear stockpile.
  • Prepare supporting safety and engineering documentation and participate in engineering design reviews.
  • Participate in engineering testing operations, analyze results, and write reports.
  • Interface with other organizations internal and external to the Laboratory to complete various LLNL projects.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.


Additional job responsibilities, at the SES.2 level
