Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a Mechanical Engineer to work in our Facility and Design and Project Engineering department. Our team works a 9x80 schedule located out of our Research and Education Campus with every other Friday off. You will use design methodologies, technologies, and processes which are best practice for the technical discipline to establish a design, and to validate that the design meets defined requirements. You will report directly to the manager of the Facility and Design and Project Engineering department. Responsibilities Include: - Decompose project goals into defined and controlled design requirements. - Develop physics-based mathematical models of mechanical, chemical, and electrical systems to support and verify design. - Maintain familiarity with and technical understanding of codes and standards applicable to the discipline. - Document the design (controlled and approved models, drawings, specifications, and design descriptions) to establish conformance with design requirements and applicable codes and standards. - Establish testing, inspection, and quality requirements to ensure technical features important to design specifications are maintained. - Oversee or otherwise ensure that fabrication, construction, assembly, and procurement are done according to the design. - Perform calculations related to the specifications of project, including analysis and evaluation of location, material resources, and mechanical design. - Provide solutions to technical problems and recommendations for improvements in production activities. This may include planning, design, and constructing manufacturing facilities and similar structures or production processes. - Lead the development of new projects at the INL in area of specialty, including the development of proposals and business plans. - Ensure any design modification meets the technical baseline requirements and applicable codes and regulations. Recommend and initiate modifications to support programmatic missions and operational goals and lead preparation of design efforts. - Develop, ensure adequacy of, and maintain configuration management of the technical baseline. Establish and maintain configuration management of assigned system. Maintain cognizance of system/equipment status and performance through review of operating logs and observation of operations. - Ensure consistency in operation characteristics among applicable documents such as drawings, technical manuals, operating instructions, emergency operating procedures. - Enhance technical/professional skills of junior engineering staff through mentoring and training. - Work with other designers, customers, and analysts to develop requirements, perform conceptual and final designs, follow all fabrication and inspection activities, construction activities, support installation and testing, and support development of integrated analyses to ensure that facility safety bases are met. - Lead the development of project specific documentation, such as checked and signed drawings. Check drawings developed by others. - Experience in Mechanical HVAC, Process Piping and Plumbing systems.
