SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is one of 17 Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories.
Operated by Stanford University on behalf of the DOE, SLAC develops and operates some of the world’s premier science facilities, including the first hard X-ray free-electron laser.
Researchers from SLAC and other premier institutions around the world use our facilities to investigate some of the most exciting and important problems facing our society in areas such as clean energy, environmental science, biomedicine, and advanced materials.
*POSITION OVERVIEW:*
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory seeks a Pressure Systems Staff Engineer for the Accelerator Directorate Mechanical Engineering Department.
The successful candidate will support the Linear Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II) superconducting radio frequency (SRF) accelerator (including the existing Cryogenics Plant and Distribution System), the LCLS-II-HE development project, the Cryomodule Repair and Maintenance Facility (CRMF) project as well as the Accelerator Directorate’s other research and development work.
The successful candidate will be involved in the design, specification, procurement, installation, and commissioning of new pressure systems and will also provide support to the operation and maintenance of existing systems.
This position reports to the Mechanical Engineering Department Head in the Accelerator Directorate of SLAC.
*Your specific responsibilities include:*
* Provide technical expertise in pressure system design and operation.
* Ensure all pressure systems and associated structural components are specified, designed, manufactured, tested, and installed according to applicable regulations, standards and project / SLAC requirements.
* Perform and document engineering analyses of pressure systems and associated structural components (stress analysis, thermal analysis, pressure drop / line sizing, relief valve sizing, anchor analysis, etc).
* Manage small pressure system / structural projects from conception through design, manufacturing, construction, field installation and commissioning.
* Support development and up-dates of system Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
* Lead the development of the pressure system general arrangements and 3D models.
* Coordinate integration of pressure systems with all interested parties and interfaces (Infrastructure, Controls, Vendors, etc).
* Manage pressure systems Vendors (including their technical design, schedule, quality, etc).
* Specify and manage inspection, testing and maintenance of new and existing pressure systems.
* Prepare cost estimates and schedules to support planning and reporting requirements.
* Coordinate technical activities across multiple disciplines, oversee the work of others, and provide guidance to technical staff during design, construction, field installation and commissioning.

* Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related technical field and minimum 4 years of relevant experience in the following areas:Pressure system design and construction to applicable ASME codes.
Process safety analysis and implementation.
Analytical techniques including structural / stress, thermal, fluid flow, anchors, etc.
Collaborating to understand complex problems and exploring / implementing alternative solutions.
Engineering project management, including developing cost estimates and project schedules, and driving a complex project through completion.
* Demonstrated expertise in designing for constructability.
* Ability to work productively with other engineers, designers, technicians, fabricators, and procurement personnel within and outside of the department.
* Solid oral and written communication skills.
*In addition, preferred requirements include:*
* Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification and/or ability / willingness to obtain shortly after starting.
* A Professional Engineering (PE) License, preferably in California.
* Experience in cryogenic pressure system design and operation.
* Experience in designing pressure systems and associated supports / anchors for seismic loads.
* Experience in 3D solid modeling.
* Experience in the coordination of technical activities during the construction phase of a project.
* Experience applying reliability and/or quality assurance best practices.
