Mechanical Engineer I

About the Role

Mechanical Engineer will provide general mechanical engineering support for the design, analysis, procurement, test, and installation of elements installed in particle accelerator facilities. This role will utilize education and practical experience in machine design, material science, structural, thermal, and fluid mechanics design using calculations as well as finite element analysis (FEA). Additionally, 3D computer aided design (CAD) tools will be utilized for component and assembly designs.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform as the design engineer on components and systems employed in SRF cryomodules, accelerator beamlines, and detector systems.
• Work with more senior engineers and scientists in defining requirements, designing, analyzing, fabricating, installing, testing and commissioning components or systems.
• Analyze structural and thermal aspects of designs using engineering calculations and FEA tools such as ANSYS.
• Design components and assemblies in a 3D CAD tool such as Siemens NX. Produce or check drawings for fabrication of those designs.
• Support procurement and fabrication of components and assemblies.
• Document work in analysis reports, test reports, and technical notes.
• Present results at internal reviews and appropriate technical conferences.
• Develop and perform test methodologies to validate designs.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• FEA tools such as ANSYS
• 3D CAD tool such as Siemens NX
• Familiarity with basic metal fabrication and welding techniques is desired.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Able to communicate clearly in writing and explain work to his/her supervisor and others in the group.
• Can work effectively with peers.
