  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Additional job responsibilities, at the TSS.2 level

  • Lead others in the development of solutions and approaches to complex problems and issues necessary to support facility operations, maintenance, and equipment troubleshooting using sound engineering judgment and comprehensive electrical engineering knowledge;
  • Conduct reviews and provide advice to mid-level internal management, customers, and colleagues on system-related design, operation, and maintenance issues.

Qualifications

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. Citizenship;
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology or equivalent level of education and related technical experience;
  • Fundamental knowledge of electrical/electronic engineering standards and practices;
  • Experience in the design, operation, troubleshooting, and/or maintenance of facility electrical/electronic systems;
  • Fundamental knowledge of and experience developing and reviewing calculations and specifications, drawings and sketches, and determining design criteria for facility electrical modifications, renovations, and upgrades on small projects and occasional larger projects;
  • Ability to identify, develop and effectively communicate recommendations to facility and senior management regarding facility and safety equipment modifications;
  • Experience working in a multi-disciplinary team environment which includes scientists, engineers, and technicians;
  • Sufficient verbal and written communication skills necessary to effectively collaborate in a team environment;
  • Demonstrated ability/commitment to valuing diversity, equity, and inclusion principles in the workplace.

Additional qualifications at the TSS.2 level

  • Comprehensive knowledge of controls, signals, and instrumentation system design and troubleshooting;
  • Broad experience with relevant electrical/electronic codes and standards and for facility systems, including IEEE and NEC;
  • Comprehensive experience with developing and reviewing design criteria, specifications, analysis, calculations, sketches, and drawings for facility projects.

Qualifications We Desire

  • Knowledge of and experience working in nuclear facilities, nuclear reactors, chemicals, high hazard, (e.g., explosive), or radiological operations;
