Working/Functional TitleMechanical Design Engineer II

　　Position SummaryMichigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB provides researchers with one of the most advanced tools of modern science to study rare isotopes, or short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth. Hosting what is designed to be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, FRIB enables scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry. User facility operation is supported by the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics as one of 28 DOE-SC user facilities. MSU's nuclear physics graduate program is a top-ranked program nationally, according to U.S. News & World Report.

　　This position affords an exciting opportunity to become part of the world-class FRIB Laboratory that enables unique discovery opportunities in nuclear science.

　　Purpose: 

　　Intermediate-level position designing innovative technical devices supporting heavy-ion accelerator development and operation.

　　Major Duties/Responsibilities: 

　　Produce and document effective design solutions by developing system-level models and concepts and creating CAD designs/details. Produce 2-D and 3-D drawings to support engineering design of technical equipment (including the extensive use of GD&T). Perform calculations and analysis validating system designs. Present design solutions to stakeholders and convene design reviews to obtain stakeholder feedback and endorsement. Interact with project leader and subject matter experts to transform technical requirements into design solutions. Provide support for fabrication, assembly, testing, and commissioning of technical equipment. Assists with project leader and subject matter experts in reviewing design layouts, budgets, project documentation for construction, testing, modification of hardware and software, and/or the installation of sub-systems. Performs other duties as required or assigned which are reasonably within the scope of the duties in this job classification. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
