The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites applications for Instrument scientists and a Mechanical Engineer with the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project. The SNS, a next-generation source for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science, is a collaborative project among 5 DOE National Laboratories led by ORNL. The SNS will consist of a 1-mA H- front-end, a 1-GeV proton linac, and a 221-m circumference accumulator ring. This accelerator will produce short-pulse neutron beams from a 1-MW beam of protons bombarding a liquid Hg target, for use by a variety of state-of-the-art instruments. The facility is scheduled for completion in 2005.
Full details of the Instrument scientist positions are available from Thom Mason, initial assignment may be to Argonne Nat.Lab, ILL for up to 5 years followed by transfer to Oak Ridge for instrument installation and operation.
Major responsibilities of the design engineer include providing general mechanical engineering assistance, design for fabrication, shop follow-up, and performance evaluations for neutron scattering experimental facilities and instrumentation for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Experiment Systems group. Candidate will interact with design/drafting personnel, scientists, shop personnel, and external suppliers and contractors. The initial assignment, for up to 5 years during the instrument design phase, is at the Argonne National Laboratory followed by a transfer to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for instrument installation and operation.
The successful candidate will have a Master's degree or equivalent training plus a minimum of 2-3 years experience in mechanical engineering with emphasis on machine design, structures, heat transfer, rotating equipment and instrumentation. Experience with CAD/CAE programs and some proficiency with solids modeling using a personal computer, AutoCad Mechanical Desktop or Parametric Technologies Pro-Engineer, and spreadsheets desired. Demonstrated knowledge of fabrication techniques needed. Strong written and oral communication skills and the desire to work in a team environment on technically challenging problems required.
Qualified candidates for any of the positions should submit a resume
with a list of 3 or more
