The Physical Chemistry unit seeks a Surface Analysis Scientist to support materials characterization for the Naval nuclear propulsion program. This position serves as the site's primary surface analysis expert, responsible for developing and executing Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and X ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) capabilities. The successful candidate will collaborate with local colleagues and periodically engage with surface scientists at other NNL sites. The successful candidate will operate, maintain, and improve AES and XPS systems to support material investigations for Naval nuclear propulsion technology, develop analytical approaches and provide surface analysis expertise to evaluate surface composition, chemical states, contamination, corrosion, and degradation of materials. The expectation of this role is that they deliver high quality data, interpretations, and recommendations supporting materials development and component analysis that is meticulously documented and clearly communicated via written reports and presentations to a multidisciplined team.
* Demonstrated experience operating AES and/or XPS systems, including method development and advanced data interpretation.
* Strong understanding of surface chemistry, thin films, corrosion, oxidation, and contamination of engineered materials.
* Ability to work independently as the on site surface analyst and effectively engage with cross functional and remote teams.
* Strong communication, organization, and problem solving skills.
* MS or PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a related field (BS with extensive experience considered).
* Experience supporting Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense, or Nuclear Navy programs
* Background in production engineering or practical experience supporting fleet operations
* Familiarity with ceramics, metallic alloys, and other materials relevant to nuclear environments
* Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary technical initiatives or projects
The Naval Nuclear Laboratory is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC (FMP), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fluor Corporation. Naval Nuclear Laboratory personnel are FMP employees who work at four DOE facilities: Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, Kenneth A. Kesselring Site, and Naval Reactors Facility, and at the U.S. Department of Defense-owned Nuclear Power Training Unit-Charleston. FMP employees also have an established presence at numerous shipyards and vendor locations. For nearly 70 years, the Naval Nuclear Laboratory has developed advanced nuclear propulsion technology, provided technical support, and trained world-class nuclear operators to ensure the safe and reliable operation of our nation's submarine and aircraft carrier Fleets. The Naval Nuclear Laboratory is a national asset solely dedicated to the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. We rely on the dedication and innovation of our nearly 8000 engineers, scientists, technicians, and support personnel.
