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.

Associate degree in an engineering discipline with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
At least 5 years of experience using Creo CAD and Windchill Product data management (PDM) software.
Knowledge of the technical concepts of drafting and engineering principles, codes, and standards.
Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
Ability to effectively communicate design concepts to engineers and other designers.
Must be US citizen or permanent resident.
Successful drug screening.
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a security or clearance badge.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working with Creo skeletons and top-down design.
Working knowledge of creating model annotations within Creo.

Experience working in an accelerator or nuclear environment.
Experience working in a team environment with other designers on large assemblies comprised of thousands of parts and sub-assemblies.
Experience in weldment design and American Welding Society (AWS) symbology.
Experience in communicating with vendors and fabricators.

Location/Work Arrangement:

Full time, Mon.-Fri., onsite at the STS Project Office.
Occasional remote work on a limited basis may be possible but is not guaranteed.
