About Instrumentation Engineer

  Does a career focused on changing the world's energy future intrigue you? If so, we might have just the opportunity you're looking for!

  Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL)) Measurement Sciences group is seeking forward-thinking professionals interested in exploring a career as a Instrumentation Engineer.

  Our team works an onsite 9X80 schedule located at our Research Education Campus with every other Friday off!

  Responsibilities Include:

  As an instrumentation engineer working in the measurement science department, you will contribute to neutron flux sensor research, development, and deployment activities as part of the INL Nuclear Science and Technology directorate.

  An instrumentation engineer performs work in a team-oriented environment. The ability to communicate effectively, to manage time independently, and to work collaboratively with peers are considered as essential functions for the position. The instrumentation engineer coordinates the work of laboratory technicians and interfaces with internal organizations, in particular experiment managers, designers, drafters, and facilities operators.

  This position primarily involves neutron flux sensor development and instrumentation system deployments; however, successful candidates are expected to be knowledgeable of the necessary analysis and calculations required for the safe, reliable, and efficient assembly of the experiments including preparation of related documentation in compliance with INL work controls and customer quality requirements.

  Neutron flux sensor development will include use and modification of existing neutron flux equipment and associated documentation while complying with internal quality assurance standards, including standards for nuclear safety software as appropriate to the project.

  Testing will include assembly and troubleshooting of prototypic neutron flux sensor systems as well as the deployment of commercial neutron flux sensor systems.

  Reviews and analysis will include assessments of experimental data and system design documentation, reports from users, and other technical artifacts to create reports and present to other staff and management assessments of sensor quality, identification of defects and anomalies, and recommendations for improvements and enhancements.

  Deployment activities will include hands-on fabrication and onsite support activities for neutron flux sensors as well as other sensor systems developed within the measurement science department.

  Testing will include the design and implementation of test procedures, reviews and execution of test procedures written by yourself and others, and the creation and monitoring of automated test suites that are performed as part of routine software development activities.

  Additional deployment activities include the creation of formal documentation that may be reviewed and used by technical and non-technical audiences for safety compliance with INL work controls or customer requirements.

  Maintenance will include all of the above tasks, plus support for the installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and ongoing assessment of neutron flux sensor systems.

  It is expected that the majority of these tasks will be performed on-site, in a laboratory or research reactor setting, supporting facility technicians, engineers, and instrumentation researchers.
