Original job description

What You Will Do

This position will be filled at either the R&D Engineer 1 or 2 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.

The Detonation Science and Technology Group (Q-6) serves the Laboratory and the Nation providing the knowledge base and component design responsibilities for the Nuclear Weapons Program and other critical national security areas. The Group's capabilities include design engineering for nuclear weapon detonators and detonator cable assemblies, design, fabrication, qualification, and installation of test fire control systems, pulse power engineering, advanced detonator design and testing, and applied problem solving. Additional capabilities include expertise in the detonation science and physics of detonator energetic materials, and engineering responsibility for the cradle to grave care of the detonators and detonator cable assemblies used by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Q-6 is also responsible for engineering, fabricating, or acquiring precision high explosives detonators for a diverse R&D customer base to meet present and future national security needs in a safe, secure, and efficient manner.

Q-6 is offering an opportunity to join the Detonation Science and Technology Group as an early-level R&D Engineer. You will work with a diverse team of engineers, technologists, and technicians on Radio Frequency (RF) and pulse power engineering, experimental facility integration with high-voltage capacitive discharge unit operations that support critical and high consequence experiments. Q-6 is looking for a thoughtful, collaborative engineer who enjoys solving real problems, learning quickly, and contributing to a team-oriented environment. This is a dynamic role that offers diverse opportunities to engage in a wide range of testing activities within Q-6 while growing your career and enjoying what you do.

Experimental facility integrations and deployment of complex hardware systems
Conducting safety evaluations and hazard analysis to ensure secure, compliant experimental execution

Troubleshoot complex systems:

Diagnose and resolve anomalies in electrical systems using systematic, data-driven isolation methods
Utilize specialized diagnostic tools including oscilloscopes, high-voltage test equipment, and both digital and analog diagnostics
Analyze test telemetry to isolate root causes and implement engineering solutions

Documentation of engineering work clearly:

Document all engineering phases clearly, creating high-quality user documentation and integration guides
Author detailed technical reports capturing test results and data-driven outcomes
Archive critical lessons learned to drive continuous improvements across future Q-6 operations.
Maintain meticulous version control notes to ensure system traceability and configuration integrity.
