Scope of Work:
The Second Target Station (STS) Project is in the preliminary design phase and is seeking an experienced Mechanical Designer on a subcontract basis to perform and support STS neutron scattering instrument designs.
The STS is a $2Billion Department of Energy (DOE) project to be constructed at the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) over the next decade. provide wholly new capabilities for the study of a broad range of materials with neutron scattering and support thousands of users from the physical, materials, and applied sciences as well as industry. The science capabilities provided by the instrument suite at the STS will complement those of the two existing neutron scattering user facilities at ORNL: the First Target Station (FTS) of the SNS and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The STS will deliver the highest peak brightness cold neutrons in the world, which together with advances in neutron optics, instrumentation, and detectors, will ensure U.S. leadership in neutron scattering for decades to come. STS will be capable of supporting 18 individual neutron scattering instruments (beamlines), each of which transports neutrons from the source to a shielded end station that houses a user-provided sample along with a suite of detectors.

Responsibilities:
We are seeking a mechanical design engineer to produce high quality engineering design packages for components and subsystems of multiple neutrons scattering instruments. These instruments are scientific experiment stations with unique requirements and incorporate custom configurations of various mechanical and electronic components, many of which are one-of-a-kind articles including support structures, positioning systems, vacuum vessels, neutron optic structures, radiation shielding, and others. In this role, you will work alongside other instrument engineers and scientists to fully develop these component and subsystem designs. This position would be ideal for those who would like to work in a machine design development environment.
Job duties include:
- Develop engineering requirements and concepts from scientific specifications and produce final, detailed, and documented designs.
- Produce drawings, specifications, and other engineering documents.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Previous experience as a design engineer in an accelerator or nuclear environment.
- Proficiency in Finite Element Analysis.
- Familiarity with multiple manufacturing processes and their associated design considerations.
- Familiarity with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
- Experience with weldment designs and American Welding Society (AWS) drawing symbology.
Location/Work Arrangement:
- Full time, Mon.-Fri., onsite at the STS Project Office.
