Jobs at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Provide technical and administrative coordination for acquisition, fabrication, and maintenance of electronics, data acquisition systems, mechanical equipment, and hardware. Manage project workflow, vendor fabrication and procurement, review drawings and schematics, track parts and maintenance, ensure safety and compliance, and serve as Technical Release Representative. Higher-level role includes procurement package preparation and supplier management.

Design, test, commission, and support electromechanical and precision mechanical systems for high-energy laser applications. Contribute to conceptual and detailed designs, prototype testing, diagnostics, tolerance analysis, test plans, documentation, and multidisciplinary integration throughout the product lifecycle. Support project planning, schedules, budgets, and present technical findings. SES.2 roles include greater independence, scope, and system-level responsibilities.

Support various projects involving vibration and shock testing, conduct tests, analyze results, and maintain test equipment. Collaborate with diverse teams and participate in design reviews.

Conduct radiochemistry research developing microfluidic systems for ultra-trace radiochemical separations and on-line atom-at-a-time chemistry. Perform radioanalytical processing, detector-based data analysis, integrate separations with accelerator detection systems, publish results, present findings, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including LBNL.

Provide technical and administrative coordination for multiple experimental projects: manage workflow, procurement, fabrication, vendor interactions, maintenance scheduling, and records. Support designers and engineers by reviewing drawings, sourcing parts, processing fabrication packages, and ensuring safety, security, and compliance. Higher level includes preparing SOWs, monitoring deliverables, and spare-parts inventory management.

Perform AI/ML research to develop, train, test, optimize, and deploy models for laser performance prediction, optimization, and anomaly detection on NIF. Collaborate with operations and engineering teams, validate ML against physics models and experiments, integrate tools into workflows, publish results, and support team adoption of scientific ML techniques.

The postdoctoral researcher will study clouds and precipitation, improve storm resolving models, perform modeling tasks, publish results, and collaborate across teams.

Design, implement, and support enterprise AI infrastructure and pipelines; optimize workflows via automation and IaC; integrate and evaluate GenAI/MLOps tools; ensure security compliance; monitor performance for scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency; collaborate with engineers, IT, and stakeholders. SES.4 adds system lifecycle leadership and mentoring.

Lead and deliver a portfolio of complex nuclear infrastructure and capital projects from planning through closeout. Serve as primary client and regulatory contact, manage scope/schedule/budget/risk/quality, ensure DOE/NRC compliance, oversee design/procurement/construction/commissioning, mentor project managers, and drive continuous improvement and stakeholder reporting for high‑impact nuclear projects.

Provide advanced procurement and coordination support for electronic and mechanical fabrication, working with engineers and suppliers to purchase parts and assemblies, manage BOMs, track awards/deliveries, stage and transport parts on-site, and resolve supply issues to meet project cost and schedule requirements. Support may include leading project teams and performing hands-on staging and pickup.

The Cryogenic Operations Gas Process Engineer will manage vacuum and cryogenic processes, optimize gas inventory management, and provide technical direction for operations, ensuring safety and compliance.

Manage calibration and compliance of measurement equipment in a nuclear facility, ensuring accuracy and quality. Provide technical guidance on measurement tools and evaluate nonconformance.

Design, fabricate, assemble, maintain, and troubleshoot electro-mechanical diagnostic systems for LIDSS. Support experiments and deployments at on-site and remote DOE/DoD test locations, operate and align diagnostic equipment, maintain documentation, and perform data recovery. Senior level adds independent work on complex assemblies, test parameter development, and advanced troubleshooting.

Conduct experimental research on superconducting and topological quantum devices for computing and sensing. Design and test microwave and cryogenic circuits, characterize thin films and amplifiers, develop data acquisition tools, analyze performance of Josephson and traveling-wave parametric amplifiers and circulators, collaborate across teams, publish results, and present findings at conferences.

Postdoctoral researcher will apply and develop AI/ML methods to integrate and analyze large-scale multiomic datasets (bulk, single-cell, spatial, multimodal), train foundation and self-supervised models, build interpretable predictive models of host-response and disease trajectories, collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, publish results, and present findings.

Provide technical leadership and project engineering oversight for the ICF science portfolio, aligning scope, schedule, budget, and shot execution across ICF, NIF Operations, and partners. Establish priorities, manage configuration and change control, develop integrated schedules, track milestones and budgets, resolve complex execution issues, and coordinate across engineering, operations, fabrication, and partner organizations to ensure campaign success.

Maintain and modernize access management solutions (PingAM and ADFS), implement SSO using SAML/OAuth2/OIDC, ensure high availability and disaster recovery, automate configuration and patching (GitLab, Amster, Ansible), administer Linux and Windows systems, enforce security/compliance standards, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate identity solutions across on-prem and cloud environments.

Support planning, coordination, execution, and recovery of flight test missions and deployed assets (UAS, autonomous rafts, camera and comms systems). Serve as decision-support/escalation during missions, manage sponsor communications and readiness assessments, coordinate cross-disciplinary teams, deliver data review packages, and drive process improvements. Travel 25–45%.

Lead architecture, development, deployment, and lifecycle support of GenAI/LLM-enabled applications. Design secure, scalable cloud and on‑prem/Kubernetes solutions, build backend services, APIs, and orchestration, implement retrieval-grounded systems, semantic search, and model integration, and drive prompt design, evaluation, observability, performance, cost controls, and safeguards while mentoring teams and partnering with stakeholders.

The Subcontract Analyst will manage the solicitation, negotiation, and administration of subcontracts, ensuring compliance with procurement policies and regulations, and solving complex subcontract-related issues.
