Laser Engineer

We have an opening for a Laser Engineer to support National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser engineering, operations, and maintenance within the world’s most advanced laser facility. In this critical role, you will be responsible for running and maintaining the advanced laser systems and support hardware for the world’s largest laser with 192 beams, ensuring that all laser work is seamlessly planned, coordinated, and executed to support experiments in High Energy Density Physics, Laser Fusion and Ignition, and National Security. You will also lead projects aimed at improving laser technology and implementing new capabilities to further increase NIF’s power, energy, and precision, partnering with scientists, engineers, and technicians across NIF sections to define clear objectives, deliverables, and interfaces. As a key member of the Laser Systems Engineering and Operations (LSEO) Division in the Engineering Directorate, you will help drive the continued success of this flagship experimental facility of the National Nuclear Security Administration within the Department of Energy.

This position requires full-time on-site presence due to the nature of the work.
