The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) and its National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) are searching for an experienced individual to join our dynamic professional team. MSU has been selected by the Department of Energy to design and establish the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a cutting-edge research facility to advance the understanding of rare nuclear isotopes. The new facility is expected to take about a decade to design and build at an estimated cost of $550 million FRIB will provide research opportunities for an international community of approximately 1000 university and laboratory scientists, postdoctoral associates, and graduate students.
MSU/FRIB is seeking a degreed Engineer to produce innovative design solutions to accomplish the conceptual requirements of the laboratory. This engineer will be expected to design physics research instrumentation and/or accelerator equipment, to estimate resource needs for their implementation, to document design solutions in written reports and to manage delivery of the design solution in a project-centric environment with defined scope, on cost and on schedule. The successful candidate will be able to maintain schedules through self motivation and participate in several projects simultaneously. This position will be responsible for supervising and directing the work of support personnel.
Required Experience:
The Mechanical Engineer must have at least five years industry experience with demonstrated experience in a project-centric environment.
