Job description
Laboratory Integration Engineer
Wilmington, NC Full-Time | On-Site Q-Clearance Required or Eligible
The Laboratory Integration Engineer will support the development and execution of experiments associated with GLE’s first-of-a-kind uranium enrichment technology development program.
The Laboratory Integration Engineer will operate, configure, calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot laboratory analytical equipment and experimental systems, including residual gas analyzers (RGA), mass spectrometers, vacuum instrumentation, gas analyzers, spectroscopy equipment, data acquisition systems, and associated test hardware.
This position will work directly with scientists and engineers to develop experimental setups, execute testing, collect and organize data, troubleshoot unexpected results, and support interpretation of experimental results. The role requires a strong hands-on background and the ability to work effectively with analytical instrumentation, vacuum and gas systems, sensors, controls, and prototype laboratory equipment.
NOTE: This role is subject to the incumbent’s ability to hold and maintain an NRC Q-clearance and nuclear site access.
Roles and Responsibilities
Operate analytical and laboratory equipment in accordance with established procedures, including RGA, mass spectrometry, gas analysis, spectroscopy, and vacuum instrumentation.
Set up, configure, calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot laboratory instrumentation and supporting equipment.
Work collaboratively with scientists and engineers to develop and assemble experimental test setups.
Execute experiments and test procedures and document test conditions, observations, and results.
Collect, organize, and perform preliminary review of experimental data and assist scientists and engineers with interpretation of results.
Assemble and modify laboratory test apparatus, prototype equipment, and supporting hardware.
Configure and connect vacuum and gas-handling components, instrumentation, sensors, tubing, valves, and related hardware.
Perform vacuum system setup, leak checking, troubleshooting, and basic maintenance.
Install and configure sensors, instrumentation, data acquisition equipment, and basic control systems.
Troubleshoot unexpected equipment behavior and experimental results in collaboration with scientists and engineers.
Support commissioning and checkout of new laboratory equipment and experimental systems.
Maintain laboratory equipment, calibration records, test documentation, and experimental configurations.
Support development and improvement of laboratory procedures and equipment operating practices.
Maintain a safe, organized, and effective laboratory work environment.
Qualifications and Experience
Associate degree in engineering technology, physical science, instrumentation, electronics, or a related technical field with relevant hands-on experience; or a bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, chemistry, or a related scientific discipline.
Demonstrated hands-on experience operating, assembling, maintaining, or troubleshooting laboratory or experimental equipment.
Experience working with instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition systems, or analytical equipment.
Ability to follow technical procedures and accurately document experimental activities and results.
Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting ability.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative laboratory environment with scientists, engineers, and technicians.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance and nuclear site access.
Desired Qualifications
Experience with residual gas analyzers, mass spectrometers, gas analyzers, spectroscopy equipment, or similar analytical instrumentation.
Experience with vacuum systems, pumps, valves, fittings, leak detection, and vacuum instrumentation.
Experience assembling or modifying experimental or prototype equipment.
Experience with gas-handling systems and associated instrumentation.
Experience configuring data acquisition systems, sensors, signal conditioning, or basic control systems.
Experience with laboratory equipment calibration and preventive maintenance.
Experience working in a research and development, first-of-a-kind equipment, nuclear, or highly regulated environment.
Experience supporting commissioning, test execution, and troubleshooting of prototype systems.
