Magnet Engineer

Participate in mechanical engineering efforts supporting magnet design, fabrication, procurement and maintenance for JLab’s electron accelerators including the 12 GeV upgrade, CEBAF and FEL. Responsibilities will include the mechanical design of new electro-magnets, the administration of magnet procurements and the planning and support of modifications to existing magnets. The incumbent will work through levels of increasing understanding and responsibility in magnet design and manufacture, culminating in magnet system ownership. The incumbent will work closely with senior engineers, accelerator physicists and technicians. The incumbent will lead design staff in the documentation of designs and modifications. As system owner, the incumbent will be responsible for maintaining and improving the performance of magnets and supporting future designs and modifications.

Minimum Qualifications BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering. To qualify for the higher level position, four or more years of engineering experience related to the mechanical design, manufacturing and testing of precision systems or equipment. A demonstrably strong analytical background with the ability to work within a diverse team environment to arrive at an optimized and robust design is required. An understanding of basic Electrical Engineering fundamentals is beneficial. Familiarity with FEA simulation packages and the desire to learn the operation of mechanical and magneto-static simulation packages is beneficial. Good communications skills and the ability to interact constructively with physicists, engineers, designers, technicians and procurement personnel are required.
