Requisition Id13006

Level: TP04

Overview:

We are seeking a Lead Systems Engineer who will focus on the integration of beam transport line sub-systems for the Second Target Station (STS) project. This position resides in the Accelerator Systems group in the STS at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and reports to the STS Accelerator Systems Manager. Our group is responsible for the design, fabrication, installation, and testing of all hardware necessary to transport the 700 kW, 15 Hz proton beam to a rotating tungsten target, to create 18 - 22 beams of moderated neutrons.

The STS is a $2Billion, Department of Energy project to be constructed at the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The STS will 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 and industry. The science capabilities provided by the instrument suite at the STS will complement those of the two existing DOE Office of Science neutron scattering user facilities at ORNL, the First Accelerator Station (FTS) of the SNS and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The STS will deliver the highest peak brightness of cold neutrons in the world, which together with advances in neutron optics, instrumentation, and detectors, will ensure US leadership in neutron scattering for decades to come!

Major Duties/Responsibilities:

• Manage the technical requirements for the beamline and communication of interface requirements with the groups developing other aspects of the STS.

• Collaborate with Neutron Science Directorate (NScD) operations to ensure operations requirements are captured.

• Ensure traceability between customer requirements, accelerator requirements, design features and design verification test plans.

• Lead and participate in design reviews and drive peer review of designs within the accelerator systems scope.

• Lead risk management activities within the Accelerator Systems scope and handle budgets for assigned scopes.

• Work with Accelerator Systems mechanical and electrical engineers and designers to develop integrated Accelerator Systems designs.

• Draft, track, review, and manage the following project document types:

• Interface control documents describing the interfaces between the assigned Accelerator Systems scope and technical scope in conventional facilities, the rest of the Accelerator Systems scope and control systems

• Requirements definition documents

• Design and Analysis Calculations (DACs)

• Hardware drawings

• Technical Specifications

• Design Failure Modes & Effects Analyses (DFMEAs) and Fault Trees

• Hazard analyses

• Statements of Work

• Installation Plans

• Vendor test specifications

• Verification and validation test plans

• Manage Accelerator Systems design changes and non-conformances.

• Deliver assigned work packages to meet the project schedule.

• Ensure compliance with Environment, Safety and Health (ES&H) and QA requirements.

• Develop strong working relationships across the project with Control Account Managers, line managers, vendors, sponsors, and project support organizations including ES&H, QA, procurement, business, project controls, and human resources.

• Represent the STS Project by participating in and presenting project information at reviews, conferences and workshops.

• Deliver ORNL's mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility by encouraging a respectful workplace - in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success.

Basic Qualifications:

• A BS degree in a physical science or engineering field and 8 or more years of relevant experience.

• Knowledge of systems engineering methods and experienced in their application.

• Experience with configuration control.

• Experience with Project Lifecycle Management systems for documentation control.

• Experience working within multidisciplinary technical teams.

• Demonstrated ability to quickly grasp, prioritize and analyze complex technical problems.

• Ability to read and understand CAD drawings.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5 or more years of systems engineering experience in a regulated field.
