Mechanical Designer

100% onsite. 

Mechanical Designer under the technical direction of the Chief Engineer and the responsible engineer/scientist, you will design and provide fabrication drawings for particle accelerators using computer aided design software. The assignments you will work on are usually on a project basis, which will require you to exercise a high degree of initiative and judgement to plan, coordinate, and perform your design efforts.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• With engineering support, design and provide fabrication drawings for particle detectors, their support structures, tooling (for installation) and facilities drawings
• Support design and safety reviews.
• Prepare and document fabrication drawings.
• Support fabrication, assembly, testing, installation, and commissioning.
• Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and other technical staff.
• Independently plan, coordinate, and execute assignments.
