  • Comprehensive understanding of engineering principles and theory of operation of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems
  • Well-developed analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Ability to adapt and excel in a constantly changing environment
  • Demonstrated ability to learn new systems and concepts quickly 
Bonus points for:
  • Masters Degree in Engineering or related field
  • Experience with operation of cryogenic process systems
  • Experience working in radiologically controlled environments
  • Experience with operation of high purity gas systems
  • Experience with operation of high-voltage or high current electrical systems
  • Experience working with high power radio frequency systems
  • Experience with industrial software controls integration and troubleshooting
  • Strong background in Human Performance principles 
Must-have Requirements:
  • Perform extended activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, sitting, etc.
  • Willingness to work flexible, rotating shift coverage including nights and weekends for 24/7 coverage, with up to 12-hour, rotating shifts (including days, nights, weekends, and holidays)
  • Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
