Provide imaginative and practical engineering solutions to research related programmatic challenges where highly specialized equipment solutions are required to be designed, operated, and maintained (typically one-of-kind design) in a remote hot-cell environment.

Collect, assimilate, interpret, and report technical data generated from assigned process instrumentation, equipment, and systems to meet programmatic research goals.

Maintain documentation and operational procedures of assigned process instrumentation, equipment, and systems. Write, review, and revise PIE documentation, procedures, and drawings.

Maintain configuration management of assigned systems and use the Engineering Change (EC) process when making repairs, modifications, or upgrades.

Modify existing process equipment/systems to support new missions.

Troubleshoot in-cell electromechanical instrumentation, equipment, and systems

Modify commercially available equipment for remote applications. Install and qualify (Mockup) of new PIE equipment and instrumentation.

Be the technical interface for assigned systems between nuclear facility operations, principal investigators, project managers and programs. Work with research personnel to establish experiment specific requirements for remote process instrumentation and quality assurance.

The ideal candidate will possess:

Experience with Microscopes, both optical and digital, microhardness testing, and digital image processing.

Electromechanical experience operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting instrumentation and equipment.

Remote Engineering/Operations Hot Cell Experience.
