Los Alamos National Laboratory
Overview
The Digital Engineering group is seeking a Scientist to join our multidisciplinary team advancing LANL's digital engineering strategy and strengthening the future of the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE). You will help guide and support engineers and professional staff working across five weapon systems: B61, W76, W78, W88, and W93. What You Will Do
Responsibilities for this position include the ability to: Support the development, document, and maintain tool interfaces for requirements integral to these weapon systems, including managing tool and system updates and changes as needed. Collaborate with weapon system engineers, Production Realization Team (PRT) leads, design physicists, and external partners such as DoD and NNSA. Define and implement interface environments in selected software tools that connect production systems to the digital thread. Partner with subject matter experts to assess current manufacturing infrastructure and integrate it with future-state capabilities. Support the development of documentation, best practices, and internal policies that advance the digital engineering thread for design to manufacturing efforts. Work closely with production engineering, liaison teams, and both internal and external SMEs to deploy advanced digital manufacturing solutions for new and legacy weapon systems, ensuring interoperability across the NSE. Work with System Engineers for Phase I & II, W93 as well as legacy systems (W76, W78, W88, B61) to develop strategies for implementation of digital toolsets to enable efficiencies in achieving FPU's as well as general product life cycle management. Work effectively with counterparts at Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pantex, Kansas City National Security Campus and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) personnel. What You Need
Minimum Job Requirements: Familiarity with Systems Engineering Tools such as GENESYS, Cameo/MagicDraw, or similar model-based systems engineering (MBSE) platforms. Experience with Requirements Management Tools (e.g., DOORS or DOORS Next Generation) for capturing and maintaining system requirements. Basic programming or scripting proficiency in one or more languages such as Python, Java, or Visual Basic .NET, with ability to learn additional tools as needed. Exposure to data analysis and visualization tools such as Matplotlib, Jupyter Notebook, or RStudio. Understanding of agile team practices and familiarity with collaboration tools such as Jira or Confluence. Must be able to team well and work closely with others that are exploring strategies and approaches for improving engineering and production processes through enhanced digital connectivity and various systems engineering approaches across the Nuclear Weapon Complex. Excellent oral and written communication and presentation. Education/Experience:
Position requires a Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field from an accredited college or university and 2 years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation. Desired Qualifications: Experience in requirements management, including authoring, validating, and maintaining requirements using tools such as DOORS or DOORS Next Generation or CodeBeamer. Experience with MBSE model development, including building, refining, and validating models in GENESYS, Cameo/MagicDraw, Datahub or similar platforms. Background in AI/ML applications, such as developing or deploying data pipelines, training models, or applying machine learning techniques for engineering problems. Active Q clearance. Work Location
The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management. Position commitment
Regular appointment employees are required to serve a period of continuous service in their current position in order to be eligible to apply for posted jobs throughout the Laboratory. If an employee has not served the time required, they may only apply for Laboratory jobs with the documented approval of their Division Leader. The position commitment for this position is 1 year. Note to Applicants
Due to federal restrictions contained in the current National Defense Authorization Act, citizens of certain countries that are not Lawful Permanent Residents are prohibited from accessing facilities that support the mission, functions, and operations of national security laboratories and nuclear weapons production facilities, which includes Los Alamos National Laboratory. Where You Will Work
Located in beautiful northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. Benefits
PPO or High Deductible medical insurance with the same large nationwide network Dental and vision insurance Free basic life and disability insurance Paid childbirth and parental leave Award-winning 401(k) (6% matching plus 3.5% annually) Learning opportunities and tuition assistance Flexible schedules and time off (PTO and holidays) Onsite gyms and wellness programs Extensive relocation packages (outside a 50-mile radius) Clearance
This position requires a Q clearance. Selected applicants will be subject to a background investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified matter. New-employment drug testing applies. DOE/DOE-NNSA directives govern eligibility for clearance and access. Equal Opportunity: Los Alamos National Laboratory is an equal opportunity employer. All employment practices are based on qualification and merit, without regard to protected categories as defined by law. Reasonable accommodation is available upon request for the application and hiring process.
