Job Description

Idaho National Laboratory seeks Mechanical Engineer to shape the future of energy and national innovation by designing and testing cutting‑edge systems that push the boundaries of possibility through integration of transformative technologies. You will participate in the design, development, testing, and verification of complex electrical, mechanical and/ or software systems and components by providing a rigorous systems engineering approach. You will analyze engineering plans and projects to establish operational objectives, high level functions and detailed requirement decomposition. Assist in the analysis of proposals and related technical data to evaluate design alternatives using a systems engineering approach. Utilize digital engineering tools — including requirements management, model‑based systems engineering (MBSE), and AI‑assisted design review platforms to carry out the role of systems engineer. Identify opportunities for integration of technologies and techniques to advance technical capabilities and develop new, unique cutting‑edge solutions. You will serve as a technical authority and cross‑project resource for requirements management, configuration control, and systems documentation, interfacing with other organizations to communicate design requirements and details and address design and integration issues. Work may encompass a wide range of sophisticated (cross‑discipline) engineering problem resolutions, including support across multiple concurrent reactor/f
