Provide technical guidance and direction to the Target Area Operators technician staff to meet changing priorities on the floor. Communicate and coordinate final optics activities with the supervisory staff in the NIF Control Room. Identify, analyze, implement, document, and maintain process improvements and alternative approaches for complex technical problems, procedures, and qualifications using independent creativity and judgment and by establishing or modifying guidelines, techniques, and procedures as necessary. Design, fabricate, assemble, and disassemble complex mechanical components and systems including planning, setting priorities, and selection of equipment and work methods. Plan, organize, and lead complete projects of limited scope. Lead technicians in balancing safety, security, quality, and efficiency. Perform other duties as assigned. Qualifications

Associate degree in Mechanical Technology, Electrical Technology, or a related technical field; or a technology related certificate; or diploma with related work experience and related course work; or equivalent combination of education and experience in a technical or engineering field that includes mechanical training. Advanced level technical skills and understanding of relevant technologies and processes, including interpreting and utilizing vacuum systems and ability to solve complex hardware or system challenges. Experience working independently and effectively on challenging and complex technical assignments with proven ability to meet project requirements and deadlines. Advanced experience with setup, recovery, and maintenance of diagnostic equipment and/or optical assemblies. Advanced experience making decisions regarding a variety of complex technical problems, and in providing technical direction, leadership, and mentorship to others in technical operations or within an R&D environment. Advanced experience establishing appropriate work methods and setting priorities, and demonstrated ability to regularly make decisions, solve complex problems, establish and/or modify guidelines, techniques, and procedures. Advanced experience working with formal procedures, work controls, and configuration management. Ability to complete and maintain certifications as required by the position. Ability to work in confined or restricted movement areas, climb stairs, stand, or walk for long periods of time. Ability to work in areas in areas of Beryllium and radiological contamination and where use of a respirator may be required.
